Lacking prototype development facilities, the technology they offered tended to be too immature for commercial exploitation.
Sadly, while we got to get a much closer look at the updated development prototype, we didn't get to actually use it -- Oculus reps told us that, while the hardware's working, it's not quite ready for press primetime just yet.

Work on the software began in 2001, and was completed last year, although Collomosse said the program was still a prototype and a lot of development would be needed to turn it into a commercial product.
What you see above is the next PlayStation's controller, at least in some version of prototype, seemingly connected to a development unit for the next PlayStation (codenamed " Orbis").

The Prototype Fund is a UK-wide scheme supported by the European Regional Development Fund, Scottish government and Abertay University to help firms launch new companies and test out business opportunities in interactive media.
Alongside a huge number of speakers and sessions talking about innovation and development in the mobile world, the event also runs a Hack Day stream, where people rapidly prototype new ideas and present them to the conference as the last session.
The scheme aims to enhance sixth form students academic and personal development and project activities involve visits to companies, university workshops and researching, designing, planning, producing prototype solutions.
