Is it just for games?

Is VR solely for games or will there be other applications as well? I'm thinking along the lines of films, virtual tourism or experiences and vistas like skydiving or tropical beaches.

I know it might sound boring, but it just seems to me there are so many possible avenues for it to take.

Could we one day see people donning their VR headsets and shopping in VR supermarkets?

Ah yeah, actually, that would be very impressive!

With 7.1 headphones that actually sound like 7.1.

Wouldn't it hurt the AV market though? Why spend thousands on projectors and screens when you can buy a £500 VR headset.
