I think their dreams of digital worlds appeals to a broad audience, but the reality of the tech only appeals to a niche audience. Its pretty far from being immersive enough to warrant all the inability to interact with real life or all your other apps.

Like how do you do your homework WHILE playing Minecraft and watching a movie if you have a display over your eyes vs a monitor or two? The world wants to multitask a lot more than it wants VR, imo.

Pretty simple really: You simulate as many virtual displays as you want in any position/configuration you want. Thus making VR actually superior than even the best PC setup for multi-tasking.

That's not really viable today though. Comfort, resolution, tracking, input - these all need large improvements first, but eventually it will out-PC a PC.
