But I highly doubt this is an insurmountable obstacle.
Humans can be convinced of many things that aren't in fact "real" or in indeed supported by any evidence other than appealing to human emotions/biases/prejudices (religon/"natural" markets/trickle down economics/communism/libertarianism/racisim).
Give it time - it will happen.
Or we nuke ourselves in the process of getting there.
Either way it'll be blast (see what I did there?).
1. Step into a machine you know is VR - even though the experience will be fine, it won't be "quite the same"
2. Step into an aeroplane and fly around the world for ten hours. Then see something cool and go back home. - it will be an awesome experience .... even though everything beyond the airport's front gate was VR.
And even then, as soon as it got out the whole airport and everything beyond was VR, there would be people willing to pay a lot for the real thing.
I think what I'm saying is VR will be the McDonald's of experiences.
