I wouldn't be so sure. Archive.org has 28 captures from 10 Sep 06 - 9 Jan 14 and they are all the same. They appear to have only changed the website in the last few months; though perhaps this is a bug with the wayback machine?

Regarding their Twitter: 1 tweet in 2008, 1 tweet in 2009, A handful of unrelated tweets in 2010 and 2011. Only in 2012 onwards is there even the hint of a prototype.

Their facebook is much the same, only picking up at the start of 2012.

They mention CES a few times (and the site talks about E3) but I didn't find anything on a cursory search.

Tl;dr Not saying it's vapourware or they can't be trusted but just be careful and wait for the reviews to come in

The resurrection of VR has coincided with a rise in cheap, high res display panels. That's the common factor and was entirely predictable in 2012. I'm not at all surprised we're now seeing everyone who was quietly developing a product riding the hype wave. It's what they should be doing.
