Oculus Rift goes HD: our first look at virtual reality, and virtual cinema, in 1080p

To me, this maybe is the flat panel replacement Im looking for. I wonder if this isnt the future?

Oculus VR is kicking off E3 with an upgrade to its virtual reality console, the Rift. By simply upgrading its optics from one off-the-shelf cellphone display to another, the company has upgraded the goggles to 1080p — and based on a few minutes of time with Rifts old and new, the upgrade makes a huge difference. Gone is what CEO Brendan Iribe called "the screen-door effect," and everything comes in much sharper and clearer. We played a game rendered in the newly-integrated Unreal Engine 4, and from the snowflakes outside to the large, horned monster inside, details just pop in a way they never did before. It makes the world feel more immersive, more immediate.

Naw. Sony came out with a virtual flat screen last year. Around $1000 and was 720p. For 3D and gaming I see wow factor but I want my screen to really be there. Will be hard to throw a Super Bowl party with these.
