The question is whether or not this is even a category that will ever be more than a niche. What value does this kind of VR environment really provide beyond its novelty, and is this something that the average person actually wants? I am not so sure about that, and history is full of technologies that sound cool on paper, but have limited use in practice.
Consider, for example, the repeated attempts at making 3D televisions a thing. It keeps popping up every couple of years, then people figure out that they don't really need it, and it fades away again. This kind of VR technology could very well be the same. Even 3D gaming remains a niche despite some serious attempts by major players to turn it into something more than a gimmick.
