I see another avenue for this. "Reality simulation" - not virtual reality - will, I think, be something to explore. Especially with something like Oculus down the line, there would be a market for it. Why surround yourself with your humdrum home when you can live in a much better one with better surroundings. Watch TV virtually. Read a book virtually or even take a nap on your virtual sofa in front of a magnificent view while on your "real" bed surrounded by boring walls you don't see.
That's just... ew. No. That's just wrong. The average person's living conditions shouldn't be so poor in the first place that he feels the need to step into an Oculus to get a nice sofa.
