Mostly agreed
Many of the proposed uses of VR seem silly and not very well thought out. In the article, shopping is discussed. If you know the part number and simply want to order it, today's systems work fine. For things like clothes, you want to see them in person, feel their texture and more importantly, feel the fit. There is no substitute for physical reality in this case
I can easily imagine industrial and scientific uses for the tech. It's already useful in games and I imagine artists will find a use for it, but a lot of what's proposed by its supporters seems silly
