If I understand the physics correctly, we can't have an aspheric lens in a headset that size. Our eyeballs would be mashed by the curvature and they would be very heavy. The great thing about fresnel lenses is that they approximate the curvature we need for the panel coverage whilst being much thinner and lighter but they're still not ideal. Part of the reason the XTAL has such fantastic panel coverage is that they made 'Gigantor' headsets so the aspheric curvature could be much more shallow. I don't think this appeals to HP which is strange because they have no problem making computers to wear on my back - weirdos....
HP Reverb - my conclusion

Whoah! That's a big number. Have you had it measured by an optician? They have little gizmos that measure it within 0.5 mm.

I think an IPD that high might imply extremely acute depth perception and, theoretically ( totally guessing ) better visual acuity than is average. I wonder if anyone's written a paper on this
...lol, yes but, apparently, the opposite of my conjecture. Good old America, spending tax dollars on stuff that will save lives... wait, what?
Correlation between Interpupillary Distance and stereo acuity
