Infinite Depth Perception, is it ever going to be possible?

I've had quite a few headsets till the original oculus rift including psvr2 and all meta iterations and a few others, the one thing that bothers me above all is that items at a distance do not appear far. The horizon or the bottom of a cliff are not distant. It's not about the resolution of distant objects to me, it's why they don't really exist beyond an invisible wall.
 
I was just wondering if this is one technological limitation that can never be solved due to physics / how light behaves etc.

Reddit copy/paste. Don't click any links in the first post, this is most likely spam.

 

(For people curious about the actual topic though, human vision uses vergence and accommodation for depth. Vergence is accurate, but only out to maybe 30m. Accommodation is less accurate, but goes much further. VR headsets have a fixed accommodation set to around 1.5m. They only use vergence for depth. So we get good close depth sensing, but poor distance sensing. Unfortunately per pixel accommodation is very difficult to achieve)
