I've been hearing a lot about AI and blockchain but I'm more interested in VR.

If the hardware were just a bit better, I could see it completely transforming education.

I don't think the hardware needs to become better as much as it needs to get cheaper. You won't bring that tech anywhere on a large scale as long as you need a recent gaming PC and a $400+ VR headset to get more than horrible smartphone VR apps or a few PlayStation games.

It needs to get to the point where reading text in vr is comfortable, probably

I would pay a good amount of money ($ iPad Pro) to have an AR display+mobileCPU that was a good desktop/terminal and smaller/lighter than a laptop--preferably running a full OS (not iOS/Android).
