Foveated rendering in VR blows my mind. The renderer knowing where your eyes are looking and half-arsing the rest of the frame is so cool.
Foveated streaming is cool too. A full-frame low-res stream is overlayed with two smaller crisp squares where your eyeballs are currently pointing. Drastically reduces the bandwidth required with no renderer involvement.
If you can trick your visual system into "looking" in a different direction to your eyeballs you can kinda see the strings sometimes.
