Our consciousness is already a form of virtual reality. What we experience isn't real its only an analogy for what reality actually is. A virtual reality could actually be far richer analogy of reality than any waking experience. Imagine instead of just having sex, experiencing the experiencing an orgasm in every sense and simultaneously experiencing the sensations and emotions of the other entity involved.
VR is not just for lotus eating, it is also a path to alternate forms of consciousness, superior intelligence and eventually a path to slow mind uploading. Full mind vr isn't going to be like some video game. It will be a collaboration between your brain and a constantly adapting ai. Think of a super dream.
In real life you are limited by your senses but there is no reason it is not possible to artificially induce synesthesia and gain the abilities of a savant. E.g. imagine using a vr interface to train your mind to experience mathematical data using your visual cortex.
