To me this looks like a solution in search of a problem. And I can't imagine it's fun to hold out a tablet at the end of your arm for very long.
Why would you name a gaming adjacent system “PortalVR”? I doubt you’ll get in trouble for it but you’re going to confuse so many Portal fans (and there are a lot of them).
This would be pretty cool for a Descent clone, since the game is all about 6 degrees of freedom moving your tablet around to fly through a space would feel pretty natural.

Where this fails however is that it doesn’t seem to track the user’s face in order to properly render a parallax effect, so it does not really feel like a true portal.
