Oculus is good for games and porno but there's no chance musicians can use it, especially for some kind of online jam, because you need to see the instruments at least a little bit. There are visual cues between the players and other things which you really need. It just won't work.
Now Magic Leap appears to have some practical means of projecting holograms and this could give the best of VR while not overwhelming real. It's not the Holodeck experience but it permits a real 3D engagement. (Yahoo News: Magic Leap augments reality with hologram-based technology to rival Microsoft's HoloLens)
Sample from Magic Leap of what they can do:
Take a look at the Magic Leap web site for some really astounding video sequences. The potential in this is enormous but the company is secretive about almost everything so there is no idea what actual product they will deliver nor how soon it will come.
Consider in terms of musicos as this device or future evolution of it should be able to make holograms of the other members of the band so you can all see each other. Some other whizkid will have made some other type of device to multiplex those signals and send it all to possible viewers. It's hardly pie in the sky when you see what they do now. Maybe you think the demo video is fake but they have high-dollar investors such as Google behind them and that wouldn't happen if Magic Leap hadn't given them some reason to believe it will really work.
