That's a hard problem.

The human eye is only ~2 megapixels but it's focused on a small part of your field of view. So if you wanted to fool the eye you either need to track what it's looking at or to create a huge high resolution screen most of which is ignored. Add in the ability to focus and you suddenly need to add depth information and a display that can handle it or you will not fool the eye. Now add the fact that most people have 2 of them and it gets even more insane.

PS: Video cards have far higher internal bandwidth than external bandwidth for a reason. Focusing on the brains bandwidth is not going to be enough.
