Oculus, Sony's Morpheus, Microsoft's Hololens- these are all just the next step in the VR/AR movement. Currently it's at a stage where the tech requires a box with cell phone screens on your face (or in the case of my favorite AR--Innovega's iOptik--sunglasses and a projector). This isn't the final stage of VR though. The next big leap might be bionic eye implants that directly stimulate your optical nerves (Second Sight's Argus II could be the start of this). The hardware will continue to get better as these companies put more time and money into them. Entirely new companies will be made just to create algorithms and applications to improve the VR experience (how do you make an avatar of a person feel like the real thing? I don't know but I bet Oculus would pay a lot of money for the rights to that algorithm). In the meantime, you are correct about black in AR being a challenge. I'm be curious how that one will be solved
