I'm watching developments with light field displays for this with interest.

That said, you don't really notice this effect, or much else, once you're immersed in something. I've hundreds of hours in the vive and I still punch walls, the ceiling, lean on objects that don't exist.

The point is that regardless of the various things that would make it better (4k light field displays, bigger fov, higher refresh, blacker blacks, etc etc) the tech is good enough today - the fact that one is able to surrogate away from "I am stood in my living room wearing some silly goggles" to "I am stood in the snow atop a peak watching the sun set, I should get inside or I'll get cold" is the litmus test. Literally everyone I've jammed in it, young and old, has lost themselves in it.
