That's probably going to take a few generations, and they might do it faster and with better results if they used this technology instead, which apparently doesn't give eye-strain like LCD's do, too:

By the way, check out this Redditor's crazy story about falling asleep with the Oculus Rift, and waking up feeling like he was actually in there for the first couple of minutes:

Sounds like we'll be on one hell of a ride in the next 10 years, if Oculus Rift gets so immersive, and hundred of millions of people have them, all preferring to be in their high quality virtual realities over real life, most of the time, and feeling "disconnected" when they aren't there, just like we feel now without the Internet.
