OMG - the first actual photo is a guy standing in front of laser lines and curves and had a tag line "soon to be replaced by the Oculus Rift"

And yes ... I can easily imagine flogging exploratory gloves and goggles to impress the Board and let them surf through data looking for insights

Well that wasn't really to present to a board, but really a quite straightforward application of the rift. VR is used today for scientific visualization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_automatic_virtual_environm...) but it's veeery expensive. The rift and companies that will make rift-based products for scientific, medical etc... visualization are going to make money
