Nvidia's foveated rendering tricks for VR could improve graphics and immersion

Okay, I'll admit, I just like saying "foveated rendering" because it makes me sound smart. But it's a real thing, and it's going to probably play an important role in the next stage of this little VR journey we're all on.
