Is Virtual Reality Finally Going to be a Reality?

I just had a go on the Occulus virtual reality headset - in a couple of short 3D experiences where you are on a rollercoaster and on a fairground ride. Wow - it's pretty amazing - much more immersive than 3D cinema to the extent where it really starts to feel that this is "real". So, given that virtual reality headsets are finally here, what do people think about how this is going to develop in the next 10-20 years? On one extreme you could see it as game-changing as the internet itself - fully immersive digital realities of Sci-Fi proportions, on another extreme it could remain a nifty product with a few nice games and nothing more.

Any thoughts on this? Anyone else tried the headsets? What do you reckon?
