Virtual reality is the next gold rush, but I haven't quite figured out how to capitalize on it yet. It's like being told in the early 90's that the internet will be huge. How would you capitalize on that? Buy some domain names? Start a web directory? Start an online bookstore? Start a payment processor?

Selling picks and shovels, it is said, is a safe way to strike it rich in a gold rush.

I think almost anything you could do to get into Virtual Reality will pay immense dividends ten years from now, if not sooner.
