    Well.. it sounds like they want to "avoid bulky VR headsets"

    But their alternative is even bulkier. A chair with a big screen, more like a personal holodeck box to sit in.

    I totally believe this can be used to place better optics and avoid motion sickness, for better immersion.

    The product vision is not clear for me - maybe as a better version of the single person privacy phone booths that can be found in shared office environments? At home? Rather not

    Didn't they do this with arcade machines 20 years ago?

      Well, not with a micromirror array which directs a different image to each eye.

      Would love to have it at home and watch a concert! I tried watching a VR concert at YouTube with goggles but the experience is not very relaxed

    Only Gen Alpha and younger accepts VR headsets. The problem with non-wearable solutions is both space required and price
