Dan: virtual reality technology

Recently, I've become really interested in virtual reality technology. To be honest, I’m not really into tech gadgets or computers but, I find VR technology really intriguing. Imagine wearing glasses that will make you FEEL like you are somewhere else, because the unit tracks your head movement. As someone who likes travelling but can't find the time to do so, the potential seems limitless

Imagine walking around Paris right in your living room, and then changing the program to another city: Berlin, Rome, New York. All in an instant. Or what about places that are simply impossible to go? Would you like to see what the view is like from the top of Everest? Or deep below the sea? Space, even? 
 
Do you like watching concerts and live events? Well, you could buy a virtual ticket to a concert and get really close to that favorite singer of yours.

So, how about you? What do you think of this technology as a way of giving us new experiences in a much more convenient package? Where do you want to go? What experience would you like to have, virtually? Which celebrity would like to hang out with, virtually?
