It'll be a little bit of time before we get the full immersive holodeck experience (we have the technology to approximate it, it's just damn expensive). Most VR will be sit-down with some controls for the time being. Not knowing what's going on around you is somewhat less important at that point. Of course we'd need to wire fire alarms and such into the system, but that's trivial. I could set that up in <1 hour with stuff I already have (motion sensor, fire alarm, wires & an arduino).
That all being said I can totally see it for some games. Flight/space Sims, anything first person really, it'll be great for social games, I can totally see something like second life (, except F2P,) popping up. MMOs might benifit, it'd need to be some action-oriented one though, not a click-and-wait setup like WoW.
