The more interesting question is if VR can fill more than some niches?
You don't have to look beyond the spread of the cell phone to see that there would be a huge demand for an "immersive iphone".
I can see some common usage, like working in a plane. You can face a giant spreadsheet that you only can see. For 3d modelling this will be certainly useful.
Is it going to change significantly our way of life like mobile phones did? I can't see how.
Google glasses were still way too clunky; ubiquity may not happen in earnest until the technology comes as contact lenses. That's still science fiction, but far from impossible. And many of us wear glasses already, so wearing something discrete that doesn't look as ridiculous as google glasses did, would already be embraced.
There is a huge opportunity for such tech to change our life as much as the cell phone. Discrete heads up display with instructions for new objects, forgotten names, dates, places etc.. Beautiful, personalized artwork and decor at the office and home. The list is endless.
As you get older, you will likely develop presbyopia, and, at some point, get comfortable with glasses.
And for the 30-40% (in Europe+USA [1]) of people who (unlike you) are already near-sighted and are thus already wearing glasses anyway (unless they have contact lenses), VR glasses shouldn't be a problem.
And I am sure that many people will.
I am not saying that VR headsets won't be useful. I can see a future when your laptop will basically just be a keyboard, and your VR headset your screen. Doesn't mean you will wear it all the time though.
People were saying headphones will never become a thing because no one likes to put something clunky like that on their head and ears. Now it has become a fashion item too.
Same thing will happen with these VR headsets.
And I am not saying VR headsets will be stillborn, I fact I even pre-ordered both the Oculus and the Vine! But I do not believe we will be wearing those all day long.
