Possibilities are endless, and like all tech, one day these will be standard issue and probably very cheap. Look where Plasma and other flat panel tv's were ten years ago.

Far more important as resolution, will be the apparent field of view (AF) of such a device.
Sony's field of view is only 45°.
Have you ever watched through binoculars or telescopes equipped with eyepieces with only 45° AF? It's like looking through a barrel with the typical big black circular Border.
But if you equip the same telescope with a 100°AF wide angle eypiece you'll get the feeling of looking through the window of a space ship! There are no boarders, no tunnel view, just a free floating image in front of your eyes.

The prices for these optics are very high, because it's very complicated to generate a sharp image over the entire field of view so close in front of your eyes.

The SENSICS solution from louisv offers 120° horizontal and 45° vertical.
This is already a very good benchmark.
So if I would have money.....

Think I will stick to my monitor and mouse to look. Don't wanna look like a tit, even for the sake of a better gaming experience

+1 I still remember thinking of 6DOF as an unreachable dream ever, while flying EAW.

The Zeiss Cinemizer 3D OLED coupled with TrackIR 5 on a car racing sim. It doesn´t look dissapointing, does it?. What I do really fail to understand is, first, what are the displays on for?. Second, how did these guys taped the vid: from the displays? That would answer the first question, but then a third would arise: BTF is this vid about then, because I'd bet it is the right hand display action what the video is showing.

A huge downside: the FOV is a dissapointing 30 degrees. Like flying your 109 from inside your trouser leg.

Engadin.

P.S. At CeBIT this year, the guys from Carl Zeiss have shown this gadget with it's own head movement tracking device.
