I think a lot more people use VR than they realize, the goal post just continually moves towards higher degrees of immersion. Most people use some map navigation system these days in their phones as well as all sorts of other info they access related to spatial information on their phones anymore. VR to many increasingly means full on HMDs, haptics, and full on sensory immersion. People tend to only use parts of these from sounds to visuals at a time because when used in conjunction, current degrees of shortcomings make the experiences less than ideal. I use a lot of VR aspects regularly in general data exploration, though I tend not to need so much in the form of HMD and stereoscopic rendering. Usually something semi-immersive visually gets me most of what I want. To me, the science and engineering for most the hardware just isn't there yet to make a fully enjoyable experience but I think that means we should continue pushing on those developments because someday they will be and highly immersive VR will be fantastic (and perhaps dystopian depending on how it's used).
