That wasn't an aspect ratio point, it was about the stereoscopic requirement of display headsets.

Both eyes see mostly the same "8K" of content, just from a different perspective.

edit: Actually that's not quite right, even if you forgo a stereoscopic mode, the same content has to be shown to each eye. It's not like having dual monitors on a desk.

Regardless of what's being shown, if the unit can display that many pixels in a row (possibly bifurcated), I don't think it's out of the question to refer to it that way. From a device-centric perspective, it's more accurate. From an "end-user that will use it primarily as a stereoscopic headset display" it's less accurate, even if that user may not be able to see all of the display space at once anyway(?).

It's not the same content if used for 3d. It is very similar content tough (possibly verging on being identical in what I suspect are rare instances).
