I do think the main things holding back the killer app are software and data though, over hardware. I see a killer app for VR (or AR) being online shopping, specifically for things like clothing that you have to see 'in person' to choose. Imagine being able to buy clothes online, and see how they actually look on a life-size copy of yourself right in the same room. I can't imagine something like that not existing someday, and once it does, I expect I won't be the only one to buy the vast majority of my clothes online (like I already do with almost everything else).
