I think this is overstated (though without looking through the prototype, this is only speculation).
During normal, outside-of-headset vision, we focus naturally and quickly on whatever we're looking at. We don't spend time with our eyes consciously defocused on subject matter in our foveal view. So anything that's out of focus will tend to be in our peripheral view.
So this is a peripheral technology. I think everyone's still looking for the killer additional tech that will make VR perfect -- but it's not about one magic tech bullet, it's about ecosystems slowly growing, and content getting better. (The headsets are better than people think.)
