I'm pretty sure that, apart from niche applications like NSFW stuff and 3D work done while sitting, VR will be replaced by advanced AR. Main reason: people bump

I'm not sure 3D work done while sittings really a particularly niche application, unless you interpret "work" narrowly (in which case, I just think it's wrong.) And, in any case, advanced AR is many years behind VR and mostly builds on top of it (it requires solving a super of the problems required for successful VR) so VR could be quite successful even if that was true in the long term.

  Not really. VR has mostly solved the problem of bumping into things.

    Please, go on. I see little evidence of this.

      It is called the chaperon system. It puts up walls that you can see inside the VR system. Then, you just make sure the space you are in is empty. Aka, don't be dumb. Just put the VR system in an open space, and you'll be fine.
