>>TOGoS+(OP)
I felt similar things with the original Oculus Rift DK1 prototype.
There was something magical when the pixel resolution was lower, your mind had to do more work and it somehow felt more immersive due to this..
At least in my eyes, might probably be also because it was the first VR headset I tried though. But the later DK2 and newer models did not capture that same feeling I had with the original DK..
