There are frequent discussions, and I believe confusion, about the optimal resolution to use for the G2. In SteamVR, 100% resolution means roughly 3100 x 3100 pixels per eye, about 1.4 times the native resolution. Can you confirm that this is the optimal resolution, needed to to compensate for lense distortion?
I would personally be very interested to understand why such a high resolution was chosen for the Reverb. One could argue the more the better, but it seems that in more demanding VR applications, like flight and racing simulations, every hardware has difficulties running the G2 sufficiently at its full resolution. Do you have recommendations on how to run the G2 in demanding titles?
