VR (Virtual Reality) is expensive

You use a complicated headset to do this, with all kinds of wires sticking out of it. 

This puts a screen in front of your eyes, then as you move your head, it moves the image on the screen to make it seem to not move. Got that? 

It also claims to move the image 360 degrees, but I have not seen that yet. Learning how to use it will be a challenge.

Doing all this is difficult and requires exotic and expensive hardware and software. And is used mainly for gaiming (nothing useful). 

The Oculus Rift S Headset I use costs $399. But needs a high-end laptop that costs $599! It only runs on Windows.
