As somebody with extensive ties to both Tech and Content Creation spheres, I can tell you right away the killer app for VR is in Episodic Entertainment Experiences.
Not games. Not business applications. Not practicing open heart surgery or bomb defusing.
No, the intersection of VR and Mass Interest will be something a lot closer to YouTube-Meets-Network-TV-Meets-James-Cameron. "Hardcore Henry" for other genres like Comedy, Drama, Romance...There's a big problem though. The Tech Industry and Content Creation Industry fight each other like petulant, smart-ass, greedy siblings.
So it ain't going to happen any time soon. AR will, in the meantime, become extremely compelling through Content Creation Applications. Microsoft is screaming ahead in this realm, with the Surface Pro platform edging into Education and the Surface Desktop likely a contender for studios worldwide in all sorts of areas (Visual, Film, Music). Microsoft, unless their compass is totally out of whack, will eventually have a compelling reason to add AR into a high power workstation.
