    None of the wild 'black project' stuff I saw during my time in the VR industry made it to consumer products. They just seemed to stick with the whole 'cellphone with magnifier lenses strapped to my face' design and ran with it

    Like, check this out... they had OLED-on-silicon microdisplays with multichannel lenses back in 2017. That's the futuristic stuff I used to get excited about

    Photograph of a slide titled: Ultra-Compact VR Headset. The thin-eyes display consists of doublet-lenses bonded to a microOLED display. Some key specs shown: 24.6 pixles per degree with a FOV of 100 degrees. The diagram shows the headset is half the thickness of the HTC VIVE.
