What’s keeping VR video games from being graphically indistinguishable from real life?

Answer 1

What folks have already said, but I’d like to add:

All of the structure of a computer’s computing power is based on the idea you Render something once because you’ll display it on one screen. But in VR you have to Render everything twice – basically one ‘screen’ for each eyeball.

We keep making computers better at Rendering once, when we really need to be making computers better at Rendering twice.
