    They made a VR headset… and put a holographic lightfield display… on the outside.

    Real fucking brain trust over at Cupertino.

      The lightfield part is harder do make in high DPI, but yes I had the exact same thought

        More dots won’t make this tech catch on. I assume some PiMax product still has more dots than this. Closer or wider, I dunno, but those guys charge Apple prices for PC rates.

        VR has slumped because the right price point for mere stereo is a lot lower than it has been. Even for subsidized gizmos like Quest HMDs. (And not being glued to Facebook would help.) It needs to be too cheap not to own, or fancy enough to beat Virtual Boy plus color and head-tracking.
