In light of the economic downturn, hassle during checking-in at the airport and the medical issues that can be encountered abroad, the ideal holiday could be just a few clicks away. Why not virtually arrive at the desired idyllic beach with your family (or even by yourself) and explore the tropics without running the risk of some contracting some nasty illness? As long as you can walk back into the office with a tan, who'd really know any different?
Speaking of work, why not enjoy the workplace of your dreams? The possibility of sitting at home at a reasonable time, being able to accomplish your tasks in virtual luxury is hugely desirable to any worker.
Lastly, human nature being what it is, man has always sought ways to attract the fairer sex. With more and more people experiencing alternative realities and delving into these fantasies, people are getting to breakdown initial barriers i.e. Looks, smell, nerdy disposition or lack of any real friends, and show the 'real' them. Naturally this is a watershed moment, where some people can't distinguish between the real world and the one online. If used in the right way, it can help boost people's esteem and develop people skills and grow the relationship into a healthy and conventional one or it can be abused and mislead the hapless Romeo's and Juliet's out there. Fortunately if you fall into the latter category, just remember at least you have one thing in common - you can talk about how VR is forever!
