I can see someone developing good enough VR that you'd be able to scan in
about 20 different pics of a dead pc inside and out, throw some emulator
code in the fray, and you'd be able to go under the goggles and actually
use the system in VR.

(It never would be the same as actually being there (at least not for a few
years) but wouldn't it save a whole lot of physical storage space!)
