Move aside Oculus, introducing the Avegant Glyph: A retinal micro-mirror projection into your brain

With the Oculus, sure, it may seem more immersive, but you really cant do anything else with a VCR strapped to your face. The tech isnt there yet where you cant differentiate reality from game. We are no where near playing games at Imax 3D Avatar-esk quality. I mean why does immersion at Oculus;'s current tech level have to equal 100% visual isolation? The thinking "Lets take away vision and force them into our world" takes the onus of delivering standout story telling, sound and game-play off the shoulders of developers somewhat because the Oculus acts as blinders as much as they do a safety net.

 I think the whole point of good vr is to fill up your peripheral vision. I really do not like these vr concepts that just emulate a large 3d screen. i see this technology being much more useful in a augmented reality environment. The whole point of virtual reality is to be as immersive as possible, this dose not give you that experience.

So would we even see pixels? Resolution?
