A certain technology isn't made conceptually or functionally effective by its ability to capture your imagination every weekend. I've only had an MRI once, but that was pretty incredible in terms of effecting my life. I'm interested to see how constructed experiences that are closer to reality change how we learn, entertain and communicate.

I m pretty sure you dont want to have an MRI every day either. IMHO VR is a great medium for short presentations but not world-changing because of the lack of interaction and generally uncomfortable experience.

What do you mean lack of interaction? I agree the experience is uncomfortable after some time. This was using the HTC Vive. I have used the smaller Rift device before though and that was miles better although the visual aspect was much lower in quality. I think once they make the hardware smaller, lighter and cheaper the novelty could have a larger commonplace in day-to-day.
