Reply over at kurzweilai regards virtual reality.

In the short term, desktop and mobile VR aren't even competing products, in the medium term, the mobile paradigm will probably win out, and in the long term we'll have nanobots in our brains.
I agree nanobots are likely if no solution is found for noninvasive vr ala sword art online. Could something like sonogenetics work, scale with future tech? that'd require genetic modification, but theoretically you could put larger custom special purpose proteins combined with complementary molecules to better aid an interaction with a device outside the skull.
But in terms of nanobots, I think what's likely is negligible senescence synthetic biology cells using unevolvable molecular elements such as complex antennas, and perhaps fiber optics, molecular electronics, etc.
It's room scale or don't bother
An advanced neural interface, brain computer interface, can shut down signals to the muscles, enabling you to control a virtual body, while an automated ai agent controls your real body. Allowing you to freely explore the current real world environment in a ghost like out of body experience or it could also allow you to move about freely even with a body of the opposite sex, and even with nonhuman bodies.
Theoretically if enough computing resources are available, it could instantiate fantasies upon the real world, by overimposing virtual photorealistic changes based upon your virtual body's actions, and being able to control all agents in the scene within this fantasy scenario. Effectively allowing any thought or fantasy to take place indistinguishable from real within your mind and without need of anyone's consent, all while your physical actual body's controlled by an advanced software system.-source
