It seems to be more of a stepping stone (as with any other current tech I guess) for what's to come. For now we have to deal with limited responsive/haptic feedback, headset, physical controllers to interface with, etc, but it seems that with time those aspects will blend into something that's more immersive and "invisible", if that makes any sense.

The "Playstation 9" commercial from the late 90s comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyPQVsdCuRk
