Oculus is vaporware, right? I don't see anything that encourages me that whatever thing they were aiming at will be a thing?

Vaporware is software/hardware that is never actually manufactured or released to the public. Oculus has released the Rift, the Go and (with Samsung) the Gear VR, which are all available in stores now. All are successful, if relatively niche, products performing as intended, which is the opposite of vaporware.

It's not vaporware. It's available for purchase, and it fulfills its advertised purpose as a video game peripheral. The ecosystem of available games could be better, but it's far from stillborn.

If I'm wrong, I'd like an example of something that justifies the hype

What have you tried so far? Doom VFR Edition? Skyrim VR? VR porn?

VR’s hype is easily justified.
