This is nice and all, but since the dropping in price of larger monitors / TVs, it doesn't seem that practical.
Right now I'm using a 42in LG 4K TV as my monitor, and I've mostly gotten used to it. One thing is that since I'm older, it is nice to push the monitor further away from me than I had in the past, so the monitor itself is on a file cabinet (with an adjustable stand) not sitting on my desk itself.
TVs are not monitors, and it took a bit of fiddling with the TV settings (game console mode, turn off overscan) and drivers on the desktop side, but I'm fairly pleased with the setup these days. I really like having additional vertical space for editing windows.
Though with the power consumption required for a VR GPU display, you'll likely need a decent-sized battery pack (maybe on your belt), for this not to be tethered to a power outlet.
For this product space, I think I personally would be happier with a AR style solution, though that comes with its own challenges.
I've got to wonder if a CastAR / Tilt5 AR projection system would work better for working. You could certainly roll up the retro-reflective "screen" into your backpack.
