> I think they just never had a great product

Bingo. If the product works as advertised I could justify the cost just in replacing existing screens, I could have a dozen virtual terminals floating around, I could replace my large TV, etc. All with zero new content required.

The problem is it doesn't seem to work as advertised.

I’ve not looked into this but is this bad for your eyes to be focusing so close for long periods?

A few things:

- VR headsets generally are similar to focusing on something further away due to the setup of the lenses. It's not literally focusing on a screen 1cm from your face.

- One direction for current VR work is dynamic focus via lens arrays.
