Exactly the same people care about VR who have always cared about VR - VR enthusiasts. I think that VR apps will have to be extremely compelling for normal people to be interested. I also have an idea that the people most likely to want to escape LR (Lousy Reality) are least likely to be able to afford VR right now.

This might hold in the consumer sector. But I can easily imagine that in the "professional" sector this is quite different. I see for example lots of potential in job training for possibly dangerous jobs or in the design/modeling/CAD sector.

As a programmer, I'm interested in VR as an alternative to purchasing multiple 4k monitors. I haven't seen anything though.
