I think you're looking at it wrong. It'd be like asking why you need an iPhone/facetime/texting when your wife is right next to you.

Rather, think of the hundreds of people who AREN'T right next to you: out of town parents, friends, your wife when she's on vacation, etc.

It won't replace everything, but'd be nice to play a game with a friend on the opposite coast, collaborate on a project with a remote coworker, or have a conversation with a relative far away.

Because the iphone can show you cool stuff. Vr can not only show you avatar, but it could also let you be part of it
