VR helmets still have the problem of focus: your focus will always be at infinity, even if the objects are virtually nearby. And this problem causes headaches, and may cause developmental problems with children (who may lose the ability to focus properly in the real world).

This is only due to current screen limitations. If someone can pull off a practical light field display, focus and convergence should work together just like they do in the real world.
Real light field displays have already been demonstrated [0] [1]. As another example, the hype around Magic Leap seems to be largely due to some novel light field display technology using an oscillating optical fiber as a light field scanner.
