The VR-1's defining feature is its patented Bionic Display system, which uses two displays per eye to create variable resolution similar to the human visual system. The high-resolution focus display covers approximately 20 degrees of the user's central vision, while a lower-resolution context display provides peripheral vision.<ref | The VR-1's defining feature is its patented Bionic Display system, which uses two displays per eye to create variable resolution similar to the human visual system.
