I'm really excited about Udacity's upcoming nanodegree on VR.

I've been interested in some of their other nanodegrees, but I really want this one. I think VR is slow starting, but it's definitely the wave of the future. The technology is becoming inexpensive enough that it's within reach of the average person.
There have been some failures, such as the Google glasses, but I think they were just a little too far ahead of their time. Hopefully they'll break those out again in a couple of years.
Sony is coming out with a new Playstation VR.
Beyond these examples, I think a future will come that relies more heavily on VR. I see roles in the workplace for training and visualization of circumstances that can't be viewed directly, such as microscopic objects or places where humans would perish.
VR could be amazing to train workers in the future. Which would work better, to get training to set up servers from a book whose contents you try desperately to memorize, or to actually set up servers in a VR 'game'?
This could also be used in the education of those with learning disabilities.
Best of all: who wants a holodeck, like they had on Star Trek Next Gen? I DO!
