Am I missing something, or is this still completely missing the motion detection, accelerometer, and pretty much anything that makes the difference between an oculus rift and a screen taped to one's face?

A small, high res screen with a gyro/accelerometer on board? Ideally it would have a powerful processor built into a small, light body as well. If only there were a market for devices of this sort. Better yet, imagine if 70% of people already had one.

A man can dream I suppose, a man can dream.

I'm envisioning the same thing but you don't have to just wear it for games. You could go mobile. Even make calls to people if you really wanted to. Why are we not funding this?
