Avegant Glyph

Curious what the real tech specs are for the Avegant Glyph. Working from comments from the Polygon article, apparently since it doesn't obscure the entire field of view of vision, you are still grounded in the real world, so the stereo video need not be head tracked and won't cause motion sickness. Site says 1280x720p per eye, side-by-side stereo on HDMI (guessing that is 1280x720p @ 60Hz). Projected directly into the eye via something like DLP where the retina is the screen.

Questions
WHAT IS THE STEREO FOCUS? Do you focus on infinity, or does this have the same fail as traditional shutter glasses where 3D depth is limited to a virtual box (meaning everything in the distance flattens out to a wall projected at some distance from your face)?

WHAT IS THE FOCUS LIKE? Does the image look like a bunch of square pixels like regular DLP, or does the pixels blur together like a CRT to create an artifact-free image?

WHAT IS THE REFRESH QUALITY? Guessing this is a 60 Hz device (media playback), but how long is the image displayed in the eye? For the full 16.6 ms? Can this device do better than 60 Hz (HDMI 1.4a has enough bandwidth for stereo 1280x720 at 90Hz based on my calculations).
