I hope Google Earth (or similar) does a VR world that maps one to one with the real world, but makes traveling, flying, etc., trivial. Meet friends in the desert, on a cloud, on the Moon, in the oval office, but a virtualized real place. In other words, make it a map of actual reality instead of a fantasy reality. Allow sharable fantasy/historical/speculative overlays, but focus on croudsourcing real details, current conditions, the world as it is.

It could become more of a way to interact with the world than to escape it.
