[Announcer voice] "Oculus Arcade! The most sophisticated virtual 3D 2D gaming from 30 years ago! Next up: Oculus virtual computer screen. A 3D representation of a monitor, where you can now play non-VR games JUST like you were sitting in front of a monitor, yourself".

This would be fantastic if there was actually some VR media to go with it.

I personally can't wait for a good HD VR HUD with an extended FOV . Being able to see were I look out the windshield in my racing sims would be reason enough for me to buy, and they can already do that.

Pass. Made by Samsung. A company I wont support since they prematurely dropped support of their first Note Edge after less than 3 months; leaving us owners out in the cold. Hopefully some other company makes their own VR device.

Next need is a VR UI overlay for a solid operating system core.
