We fought through the crowds to try Oculus's new VR goggles so you don't have to bother (and frankly, you shouldn't)

But it'll still be Uncanny Valley without the rest of the senses involved: especially touch, which we tend to rely pretty much by instinct (see reflexes). Plus there's the matter of the processing lag, which looks to be a sand hill (as in every time you climb, no matter how fast, the sand loosens and dumps you back down) in terms of making it possible: as soon as you reduce the lag, we'll demand more resolution which raises the computational demand further, raising the processing lag again.
