I did some research and we already have several things necessary to create a 3D VR world, including an interface thats being developed that could be repurposed for a VR rig, its called Neurophotonics, its original purpose was for nerve impulse control for prosthetics. the technology could be used for VR once we know its completed(though it already might be since the tech was in development back in 2010)

Several of the things necessary for a truly immersive VR world-  A graphics program that can manage all the necessary details(Unlimited Detail by Euclideon), for Rendering, a laser scanner that can scan environments and recreate them in full 3D(already been developed, and is currently being used to map backgrounds by google) A Security program to prevent hacking(a 30 year old encryption formula that can't be beat even by quantum cryptography) A computer with the necessary processing power and memory to handle all details and everything else(Nanophotonic chips which are capable of Exascale computing, which would handle the necessary memory requirements)

for the other necessary parts, like the full immersion, there is Neurophotonics which we could use for connection between the brain and the VR world, directing the 5 senses to the vr world. Theres also a brainwave scanner called Muse out now that can be used with the VR rig

So we have some of the necessary equipment to Start the journey to a full dive experience. as for the rest, we will see what they future holds.

As for me, i wouldn't mind a full 3D VR MMO either. just so long as they don't run into data security problems..... ^^;;
