I've spent a long time thinking about the nerve gear. Obviously it's have to remotely zap your brain with impulses to paralyze your motor functions, cause five-sense halluctination based on game state, and read attempted motor impulses as avatar actions. Sounds hard as fuck, even if you went with the easier route of sticking a usb-c into someone's brain stem like in the Matrix.
But wouldn't it be much more doable to create a "lucid dreaming machine?" Like, something that uses patterns on a visor, sounds, pressure etc to lull you into a lucid dream when you fall asleep with it on. We already know dreams happen during REM sleep, and we can monitor people's brain impulses already.
It seems like a very plausible and awesome machine. I would personally shell out a grand for a machine that lets me lucid dream every night.
