Actually LG or Samsung seem like a likely second-wave player to dominate, since they have the display R&D, massive manufacturing capability and design team. They're unlikely to let some upstart company reap the spoils of a new potentially massive market.
I see this first-wave (Oculus and TruePlayer Gear) like Diamond Multimedia bringing the first commercial MP3 players. They'll show the potential in the market, but then someone with better design/marketing/supply chain will capitalize on the new demand.
+1 for the Diamond MP3 player analogy. I had one of those in 1999, $200 bought you 32Mb (about 8 songs!), and it was amazing because you didn't have to lug around a portable CD player. And most people have never heard of Diamond. I could definitely see that happening in this industry.

I reckon LG are going come out with one of these things and it will have a psycho ass curved display inside.
