I am not convinced. Your eyes are literally magnifying the pixels compared to being at a distance from a modern 2k display. You may have dense PPD in AVP but being that close to them doesn't do it any favours. I mean, if you can see a pixel you can see a pixel, there is no getting around that. It's like once you notice a blemish you can't not notice it anymore. From what I hear from users is you can absolutely see the pixels. |

I think the key detail here is that each eye is getting its own set of pixels for looking at the same virtual content. This can lead to more detail, because the pixels aren't 100% redundant (they're both looking at the content from a slightly different angle.)
If I'm looking through the AVP at a "square inch" of my virtual Mac display, it may be that each eye is getting say, a 100x100 grid of pixels in this angular area. But since each eyepiece is giving me a slightly different projection of that same inch of space, the pixels themselves are going to be of subtly different values, essentially contributing more information to what I'm looking at. This is a lot different from a "real" display, when both of my eyes are staring at the same physical pixels. I think the idea is that my brain will be combining this information into a perceptual image in a way that will appear slightly more detailed than the equivalent-sized pixels in meatspace.

Interesting that you say this... because when you move your head towards a virtual object to inspect any pixels you saw, the image literally gets clearer (because you're getting "closer" to it) and you don't see the pixels any more. IME this goes a long way towards tricking my brain into thinking the pixels aren't real and therefore aren't there. (I've been using my AVP for real work all day today and I've been mostly very happy with it. The resolution is absolutely the least of my concerns, and it looks subjectively phenomenal to me.)
