Only one person at a time can use a VR headset, and they can get a bit cumbersome.

Two people can use two VR headsets
Right, but it's the same reason I got a RealD television instead of a shutter frame one. You're not gonna give a roomful of people (especially if they're children) shutter glasses. Too expensive by half. RealD glasses are easy to come by and when the dog eats a pair (or a couple, in my case) it's an inconvenience.

Headsets are great when you're only entertaining yourself. Terrible when you have friends you're entertaining.

Friends will hate you if you trying to entertain them with this shitty device. It looks awful
That's fair, but just because version 1 sucks doesn't mean you won't still end up teasing your friends who don't own version 3.

It could work, even if this prototype doesn't.

Even two Oculus or Vive headsets will cost more than this device.
I promise you this device is shittier than Google cardboard and a phone. Twelve people each using cardboard and a phone would be better than this
