It has some distance to yet travel, but it's coming.
I've spent a lot of time in VR, using Windows Mixed Reality (WMR), Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive just about equally, and while I always have a blast, there are a number of improvements that could bring VR into the next generation.
Some of those improvements, like a wireless connection between PC and VR head-mounted display (HMD), are already here thanks to products from TPCast, while other improvements, like the varifocal display currently living in the Oculus "Half Dome" prototype, are still a fair ways off from seeing commercial release.
See TPCast at Amazon
While the prototypical varifocal display Oculus is working on will have a higher field of view (FOV) and will be able to focus on text and other minute details for a clearer picture, I think the future will ultimately lie in a display that can nearly match what the human visual system (HVS) is capable of. And a version of that display may already exist.
