The Reality of Virtual Reality

A slight spin on Mr. Hopper's idea of social media helping people see Africa, is people actually seeing Africa without being there. A company named Virtuix had created the first true virtual reality machine, The Omni. If you want to walk, you walk. If you want to jump, you jump. At the present time, it's only been used with video games, but who is to say that it won't have different uses in the future? After all, Google Maps has the layout, so I think it will be a possibility to see places including Africa without actually going there! Do you think that this could replace actually traveling?
