If you then variate the diffraction grating between the two eyepieces, you create a three-dimensional virtual reality display. As much as we’d like to prowl the digital touchlines in Fifa Soccer with the Xbox equivalent of the Virtual Boy, it’s more likely that we’ll be stuck prowling our couches for years to come.
