Maybe not the future... But VR or AR will play a huge role in it for sure.
I'm really excited about AR (at least the way MS is envisioning it with HoloLens). I'm less attracted by VR for now but I have to admit that being able to be fully immersed in a SP campaign for games like Halo would be cool to, but again just as an option.

Seriously, in the end I would rather take a holo tech than VR. And that is not because people think I'm an "MS guy" but I loved the idea of the Holo Deck in Star Trek since I ever saw it. Yes, Holo lens is nothing compared to Holo Deck but I am talking about the idea behind it.

I can't repeat it more often: People should watch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalon_%282001_film%29

Yes Microsoft is just starting the show. HoloLens is far from the Holodeck but it will be closer than anything else so far; I'm very impatient for it to be available and I'm sure the industry will come out with great apps/games very far so Microsoft and others are going to really start looking at this and innovate very quickly in that area.
