I've been waiting for this for a long time. It already exists, but a hmd with two 1080p screens will set you back $39,000 atm. If Sony can bring that to mass market then yes please.
Advantages:
- No cross talk, color loss or flickering when watching 3D content
- Head tracking actually makes sense, no peaking out of the corner of your eyes (and a lot easier to do accurately when tracking a headset)
- You can have your own 10 ft high cinema screen without needing the space
Add some decent surround headphones and you can be fully immersed in your game without disturbing anyone around you.
Hmd devices with transparent screens also already exist. Together with accurate head tracking you can have some real augmented reality. Holographic displays are still a way off. But we can simulate the same effect with a transparent hmd device. Project an object in the room that you can walk around.
