VR is the future as people are already in the habit of not sharing the tv anymore, withdrawing to their own space to watch stuff or play games on tablets / phones.
Why not VR.

"because it makes you look dumb" - is a frightingly strong argument against it, but I'll be optimistic for now

That didn't stop people wearing headphones, or talking to themselves outside with mobile phone earphones.
Who cares what you look like inside your own home.

When did people get so self conscious about what they look like inside their own home.
My grandmother sat with this inside the house


I think I'll be fine with VR goggles :)

Touche...

I still think mobilization and the perception of video games or consoles/gaming pcs (because lets face it a 400 dollar ps4 or 500+ gaming pc are basically equivalent in this regard, smartphones are replacing pcs as much almost as much as they are consoles when it comes to gaming) thus extending to morpheus/oculus as luxury items is going to make it extremely prohibitive to any kind of mainstream. Whereas the hairdresser qualifies as cosmetics which are seen by middleclass and up as necessities. 

I mean look what happened with Google Glass.
