Oculus revealed a prototype of what is almost definitely CV2 called Half Dome. The marquee features here are a 140 degree FOV, eye-tracking, and a varifocal display to allow for natural eye focus on near and far planes. Unlike some of the more future-tech oriented prototypes they've shown, this one seems to be consumer-focused and is already of a similar size, weight, and form-factor to rift.
The varifocal display is an interesting solution to an old problem. Unlike lightfield displays, which offer true multiple focal planes (but which are expensive and not yet ready for mass production), this actually uses a mechanism that physically moves the display forward or back based on input from the eye-tracking, so that the focus matches whatever you're looking at at the moment. The flipside to this is that the FOV would also change dynamically, and it's not clear if 140 is the max when the screen is closest or an average. Even still this looks like a pretty big fundamental leap, unlike the Vive Pro, and it would be enough to get me to upgrade for sure.
