Wow, that's a really interesting idea. Unfortunately any amount of lag and you get 100dpi for a fraction of a second, and then suddenly it sharpens to 300dpi... like your eyes are constantly refocusing outside of your control.

That'd be a fascinating piece of tech.
I'd bet against it being achieved before GPU's have caught up with the requirements though.

Foveated rendering has already been demonstrated at GDC this year, it's expected to be included in the next generation of vr headsets, and there are already some attachments for your monitor you can buy now.
The article points out the challenge though, all that memory that needs to from where it is into the pixels on the screen at a rate fast enough to not annoy you with repaint lag. Which reminds me that the real 'winner' in this space will be if someone can put 300 ppi where ever you are looking in a larger field of view and leave the rest at 100ppi and 50ppi.
