Hey if you want to spend a large amount of money travelling to China instead of virtually visiting the great wall at admittedly lower resolution, then go ahead. The casual tourists might actually just spend time in VR, you might have the great wall all to yourself.
In any case, I'd say that a trip to the Great Wall of China in VR is still more convenient than a trip to china as a whole.
You certainly would be spared the "Realistic" effects of landing in Beijing and donning a mask because of horrible, horrible smog. But hey, if you want to gasp for breath in the highest resolution available, then be my guest.
VR Tours suck btw. But that's not really the point, is it? It isn't about being "completely" realistic, it just needs to be immersive enough to fulfill certain needs.
We can't make it realistic enough for you right now, but hey, in twenty-five years, maybe your expectations might be met; that is, so long as your complaining about the current state doesn't ruin the industry.
In any case, VR probably won't compete with travel. Travelling is a special sort of experience that would probably require bringing all of the people in the location into the simulation. This brings up other problems.
