Circa that time was also (in more professional context) the NCSA CAVE immersive visualization project.
For good measure, this was also the time of the Mosaic browser.
I think three decades is enough to suspect that if there was some unique added value from the VR concept (that goes beyond some very small niches), it would have been adopted more broadly, even with imperfect technologies.
Future developments (~5-10 yr) in other parts of the digital universe may bring use cases that are currently not visible to people with limited imagination. But usually short-termist corporates launching major products here-and-now does feel a bit odd to me.
