VR has some nice gaming and fitness applications and I think like handheld gaming as a niche, VR gaming will never take over completely but will always be its own little corner of gaming.

The Department of Veteran Affairs, for instance, is the largest health system in the U.S. and has a nationwide network of clinicians already using AR/VR applications. https://www.innovation.va.gov/hil/views/immersive/immersive.html https://www.innovation.va.gov/hil/views/immersive/immersive....
