Seems cool. Until you realize that there's a pretty substantial processing overhead to rendering dozens of 3D images from a variety of slightly shifted angles.

The more promising solution that's been devised for light weight lenses are fresnel lenses... good ol' fresnel. Improve the quality on those and the artifacting should be reduced considerably.

It's happening! More people attempting this means greater likelihood of it becoming a legit part of the entertainment/tech landscape.

Made me think of this.

This could be what I feared, people jumping on the train with low-cost "alternatives" that suck and end up tarnishing the image of VR.

Real alternatives with interesting tech (like the light field glasses) are cool, but not half-baked me-too ideas.

Your smarphone? So its going to suck arse. I dont care about the other vr stuff but occulus. Most of the VR hype train stuff is the old stuff that was shit 20 years ago with new displays.
