Nevertheless, there will be competition. Let's say your worst fears realize, and the Rift is a locked down Virtual Facebook Experience. Well, they still need to solve presence, and that means: - Higher resolutions panels. - Higher frequency panels. - Low persistence panels. - Ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency video feeds (a better HDMI or something) - Graphics processing from Moore's Rabbit Hole - And lots of other thing that like the above, they won't develop in-house. Once they have that, somebody will swoop in and create a "Trif" using the better, cheaper material than what the demand driven by the Evil Rift made possible. Remember, the Rift itself is possible because of Retina phone displays. Or someone will jailbreak their Rift.
