While I do like the concept of virtual reality, I think we're still decades away from realizing it in the way that I (and I expect a lot of people) envision it. Simply wearing goggles is not enough to make something significantly more immersive than playing the same game on a screen, While the representation of videogames in terms of sight and sound have become very impressive now, we still lack any representation in smell, taste or touch; and the representation of ourselves in the digital world is very primitive.
