As a child I used to read books with just one eye open. This device will be revolutionary for me, but not because of the immersion.

My excitement is tied to the two high resolution displays, entirely independent for each eye. I asked Brendan Iribe about this for Oculus back in Fall of 2014 and he told me they were two generations away.

As a programmer, I'm staring at a screen all day long, and the effect has not been great. Having both eyes focused 1-2 ft in front of me has caused strain on my eyes, headaches, and seemingly permanent loss of far-sighted vision (my prescription gets worse every year).

It's not proven yet, but hopefully the estimated 20ft focal length can help alleviate my eyes for my day-to-day work!
