I can see someone developing good enough VR that you'd be able to scan in
about 20 different pics of a dead pc inside and out, throw some emulator

use the system in VR.
(It never would be the same as actually being there (at least not for a few
years) but wouldn't it save a whole lot of physical storage space!)
