John Carmack prototyping his own VR headset
Very interesting interview, he's definitely thinking outside the box on VR headsets.

Fascinating stuff. At the very end he mentions the future concept of tapping into iPhone5 (or -6, or -7, I suppose) technology for wireless convenience, plus the certain improvements of GPU technology and miniaturization, etc.
He's a smart man.

For $500 for the kit he mentions I'd be willing to give it a go. It's not that far out of reach when you consider the cost of tripple screen gaming or buying one large screen or even a projector. None of those could compete for immersion against a VR headset.

Interesting, I even felt a twinge of geek as he explained it all. Pleased to know he thinks this is a technology that's going to mature in the next few years rather than be something that's hovering on or over the horizon.
