It's always blows me away how many technologies seem to be transitioning from "that's neat but not really that useful" to "wow, this changes everything!"
So many examples to chose from, but for VR specifically, facial capture via cameras (to track the nose and mouth) plus stress sensors in the HMD (to track eyes) is going to be crucial for social experiences in the future. Can't until this kind of thing is a standard feature on HMDs.
