I wonder what impact Apple's VR headset is going to have in, say, 10 years. Hopefully prices for their headsets as a complete unit will have dropped, and at that point, while I'm no optical scientist, we must be approaching the limits of eye clarity, no? So eventually VR headsets will offer effectively 360 degrees of "monitor" that can't be matched by any panel, and the only actual pixels they will need to produce are a postage stamp sized thing in front of your eyeball.
I can imagine that a lot of personal computing is going to transform into some kind of "screen+lens+eyeball" as COGs for these kinds of headset displays are going to be lower than traditional monitor (or possibly even smartphone) displays.
