I've been talking about this with my friends. I think VR creates a really cool opportunity for interactive events. My favorite two examples to think of are Star Wars dogfights and fantasy exploration. I like to think about climbing into a scale TIE Fighter or X-Wing and pulling down the helmet and bam dog fighting. Or walking into a room that includes some jungle-y/forest-y smells and humidity with the helmet. Being able to explore the scenery and maybe even touch mocked plants/animals. Would create an insane level of realism. Probably out of scope but cool to think about.

Your comment dredged up old memories about this flight sim pod place. My friend (well, his dad) took us there a few times for his birthday. It amounted to ten minutes or less inside the pod, with primitive graphics and kind of twitchy controls, but it was pretty cool as a kid. Looking back, it's probably the kind of activity you'd book for a teambuilding exercise; it likely cost big bucks. This would've been mid to late 90s, somewhere in the Bay Area. I did a cursory google but didn't come up with anything.
