I don't share your opinion, but have some colleagues who do. I love VR and own the dev kit. I love playing with it. I like to watch movies and TV shows with friends and family, not alone. I cannot see VR as advantageous for the work I do: design, programming, painting, writing. I enjoy working outside or in cafes, where there are people and noises and things to eat and drink. Places to walk. Most of my programming happens when I step away from computers. When I'm at a computer all I am doing is transcribing code and design, not being creative.

But surely you can see that, if not a majority, a significant minority will use VR in the way I've described and push it along quite quickly? A decent number of people are more comfortable texting or emailing than they are calling. They prefer quiet social settings over busy ones. Many favour time alone. My wife and I sometimes watch TV/movies together, often separately - in the latter instances, I'd quite happily do this via VR goggles and headphones, either immersed or with a virtual display. My brother lives in a different state to me. I'd really like to watch movies in a virtual cinema with a voice channel overlay so we could talk crap about what we were watching. Reading in bed or on the couch, I'd be keen to try doing that via goggles rather than holding a device.
