It was overhyped, as with any new technology, but hardware always gets cheaper and better fast. Not close to mainstream right now, it's still very early adopter mode. But prices of Rift/Vive have about halved in the last year, and headsets trending wireless. Many that do have those headsets though, swear by them.

Basically the goal was a 3d geometry lesson but a per classroom cost cheaper than a smart-board. All the testing up through the time I left was very encouraging. The arc of progress is long.
