Really clever stuff but they haven't delivered the last promise of half Dome yet.

Technically, they never promised half dome. That was just leaked info.

So... so... the Rift S AND the Quest are dead.

At the moment those glasses need a fibre optic cable to pipe in the light and everything else is external. They have a max fov of 92 x 69 degrees. They are green only (the other prototypes have colour).
Very cool though.

[Media coverage says] Facebook's VR Glasses have been revealed !!!!

When in reality, what has actually been revealed is:

- A four month old prototype concept

- Only for research purposes

- Only displays in green

- Has no tracking

- No onboard processing

- At least three years away from productization

If that is not the best example of a clickbait [fake] news story! The media are just jumping at this, and my forum feeds are filling with the same posts!!

What next, HalfDome is new Rift?

Facebook is presenting it for the first time to the public, so the term "revealed" is quite apt. 

When it comes to finding a VR tracking solution, now that we have software-based tracking which is assisting with blind spots on the Quest and Rift-S, it wouldn't be too difficult to imagine a similar solution to aid these types of glasses. I've seen the patents around improving Tracking in all sorts of ways, so much of this is very realistic.

Exactly! I plan to use this tagline in response to the next year of "Rift is dead" and "PCVR is dead" postings

 Not quite as snappy as "Apple is doomed!" but in the same vein.
