I'm not so sure. A significant portion of the population will find the "Spam in a can" problem a claustrophobia trigger. There are people that would just never get into one. Like my wife -- who lasted about 5 minutes into a tour of a WW II submarine that was sitting on the surface with the hatches open. Which means we would never travel as a family in Spam can.

Of course there are ways of dealing with that. It will require thoughtful industrial design and human factors design, and certain minimum volume. A VR headset will itself become a claustrophobia trigger enhancer in a triggering environment. The human factors problem should not be trivialized.
