VR could find use in other market segments that existing technologies are insufficient for at a scale that make it affordable. Take theaters for example. They have been looking for a market for years but since people have screens and streaming at home they don't tend to go as much. However they could find a new life by purchasing VR headsets in bulk and selling livestreams of plays/musicals/operas, and possibly sports games as well. These will always be experiences better seen live, but VR would be a significant step above television. That way someone could enjoy VR at a very low cost, and possibly spur them to buy a headset themselves, when the price is right.
