You can't escape virtual reality.
VR headsets from Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung are getting ready to hit the market. Their goal: to give you an easy-to-use virtual reality experience with your PC at a lower price than competing headsets from the likes of Sony, Facebook and HTC.
That's the promise of VR powered by Microsoft Windows, the software that runs hundreds of millions of PCs and tablets around the world. When Microsoft begins sending out a free update to Windows 10 on Tuesday, it'll power VR headsets as well. It's called "Windows Mixed Reality."

What small imagination you have. You can do lots of really cool stuff, like taking a virtual tour of a disaster area where you get to walk around shattered and broken people with your cute, smiling avatar while you make pithy statements.

"Computer Chronicles" was a TV show (1983 - 2002).
Going back around 3 decades, I remember a segment where they demo'd software for realtors where they could take customers on a virtual tour of homes without ever leaving the office.
So, yeah. Really established notions here.
