What can you do that you couldn't do before? Immersion. The sense of 'being' inside the game. Tricking your brain into feeling you're actually the character in the game. For now the best experiences in my oppinion will be 'cockpit' ones. Flying an airplane, spaceship, car, mech, etc. Once the hardware gets powerful enough I'm 100% convinced we'll jump into more connected worlds. Fist bump with your friends right before attacking the raid boss and wave everyone goodbye when you're ready to leave.

I'd really be curious to hear what current VR experience have you had that made you go back to the virtual boy as a comparison. I'm starting to suspect you've never tried one, or both of those.

Tried the Eve Valkyrie VR. It was nice being able to move my head around, but other than that it didn't do anything for me. It wasn't any more immersive than watching the TV.

 

Immersion here is a gimmick and one that will wear off quite soon.

Ok then, I'll chalk that one up to personal opinion, (one I do not share) and call it a day
