I agree it's very unclear whether it'll ever mass consumer appeal but it definitely has current viability in more niche environments. If you call "business" a niche ;).
B2B++ B2C--
Take "Verification of Competence" activities used to on-board and train people who use specific plant/machinery. If you want to work on a mine driving a large truck, you'll usually have to do a virtual test to show your prospective employer that you can efficiently pilot $500,000 worth of machinery.
Health and safety training in complex plants. Run simulations on an immersive virtual model, rather than sitting at a computer screen.
Train driver training. Drivers need to do a particular number of trips to learn the route (accelerating and braking for turns, stations etc) this can be in field or virtual but required to ensure safety.
