We're currently gen 1. Gen 2 will have nothing more but higher resolutions a few small optimizations and maybe bigger screens for bigger FOV.

Gen 3 has the chance for going wireless completely and even more upped resolution and FOV.

You're forgetting about eye tracking, which will bring the biggest benefits to VR headsets. I'm very interested in how the Fove will turn out. Foveated rendering will make VR games easily surpass the quality of games rendered on traditional screens. Which will make it possible to use the 5" 11K screen that Samsung is developing at not much more grunt that you need for 4K at 30 fps.

Yes I forgot about eye tracking. Not a feature we will see before Gen 3 though.

I won't except anything before the retail Oculus as an actual gen. Those old ones were merely prototypes. It's not like we count the oscilloscope as gen 1 of video games.
