The Future Of Trading - VR Headsets Replace Multiple Screens

Oculus Rift
Play the video on that site if not familiar ----^
Basically this is the closest to VR that the world has ever seen, no lag when
you look around, you are immersed (can't see the edges of the screen),
3D, changed FOV and software tricks create an experience like never
before possible.
Most traders have multiple screens like (or more screens):
You can only really look at ONE screen at a time, our eyes are just not able
to focus on multiple screens at the same time. If we want to look at a
different screen, we have to turn our head to where that screen is and than
are eyes focus on that area of the new screen with a different
chart/application on it.
All those screens and hardware will be replaced with a VR Headset like the
Oculus Rift. When you turn your head (kind of like when I was describing
how it's currently done, to turn to look at a different screen), the
SOFTWARE would pan to a "new screen" in VR, with a different chart or
application. So if I look up and left, that's one screen, than look slightly
down, that's a new screen/chart, turn my head more centered, a new
screen/chart/application, look up slightly, but still centered, another
screen...etc. You could easily have an array of 6 screens with just the VR
headset and replace all the physical screens/hardware...
How cool is that?! Maybe I'll email them for a developer kit and tell them
the idea for replacing multiple screens...
