Ask HN: Oculus rift the next big shift in GUI's?

With the Oculus Rift dev kits shipping soon I was wondering what the HN community thinks about the possibility of having an OS built entirely around the thing?

I am just dreaming here but imagine the amount of screen real-estate you could have, maybe even a HUD that shows email notifications, IM's and current music track. You could essentially be the Architect from the Matrix, sitting in a room circled by screens :).

I know these ideas aren't new but do you see them becoming a possibility in the near future?
