Sensics has published a survey about the current state of HMD technology.

In general, user requirements from HMDs in 2008 did not change much from 2007. One area where change was evident is in the expectation of resolution: users today want higher and higher resolutions, often HD 1080 or above, for their HMDs compared with a typical requirement of 1024x768 just a year ago. 

According to our findings, users still focus on three critical needs: ease of use, the need for panoramic and high-definition systems, and the need for HMDs to be built with superior display components.

Florida Trend has an article about some uses for virtual reality. 

The problem: Retraining the victim of a brain injury how to function in his own kitchen without exposing him to sharp objects or hot burners. The solution: Take pictures of the injured person’s actual kitchen. Build a bare-bones dummy version of the kitchen in the lab. Then, use a head-mounted goggle-type device to combine the pictures with the dummy kitchen, creating a safe “reality” for the injured person to relearn kitchen tasks without fear of injury.
