Whether in a public or private scenario... I'm always up for a bit of tantalising.

Everyone's bored of being tantalized with half dome for two years and not delivering any of it

Technically, they never promised half dome. That was just leaked info.
Officially Leaked at the last few Oculus Connect events ? 🙂
Sorry. What I mean is, these were never portrayed as a Consumer Product. The Half-Dome info has always been presented as prototypes that they are using to research future headsets.
These are experimental headsets, where the end-result is one or more of their breakthroughs potentially ending up in a future Oculus Consumer headset (e.g. Rift, Quest).
If you check their 2019 blog on Half-Dome, there are zero references to any releases:
https://www.oculus.com/blog/half-dome-updates-frl-explores-more-comfortable-compact-vr-prototypes-fo...
This is how they end it:
"While we’re still developing the Half Dome series of prototypes at FRL, we’re excited to see where our varifocal research takes us next."
Half-Dome is all about researching future innovations, and Oculus only presents the progress of said research. I called this "leaked info" as my lazy ass way of referring to the fact that Half-Dome is only a prototype that gives us data to discuss.

Whilst it hasn't been portrayed by Oculus as a final Consumer Product, it does have ALL of the features of Abrash's ideal headset.
I think it would be pretty likely that we'll see this thing being released sometime during the next few years as a final Commercial Product. ?
