I wonder what's the focal length like in a decent VR set?

Is it just few centimeters or can be adjusted to be like 15 meters?

It's currently fixed distance, until the varifocal tech improves. That distance is about 1.3m/4'3".

You can change the effective stereographic distance though, so things look like they're pretty far away (or super close, if that's your thing), and the movement parallax, and eye convergence agree - but the resolving power is still the same for all objects in the visual field.
