It's a bigger problem than that. No matter what you do, it's still two clunky screens in a clunky facemask designed around sensory deprivation. He's got two of them and the HTC and cardboard and even if the things weighed less than bifocals they will remain an alienating experience that nobody wants. I've been following HMD since the '80s. I've been following it professionally since 2000. There's this idea that's pushed to investors that "we're there, dude" that's been bandied about since DARPA experimented with helmets bigger than barbecues but we will never change the fact that binocular vision is just a tiny part of our positional awareness.
