You can’t really explain Virtual Reality, to understand it’s impact on training in the next 10 years, you really have to experience it. My first experience with VR was at an international 3D conference. They had a demonstration area set up where you could don a wired headset that immediately allowed you to become a pilot of giant robot, popularized at the time by the movie Pacific Rim. The production values were incredibly high. You felt like you were in the movie. Especially when a monster ate your co-pilot.

This was 4 years ago, the technology has come along way since then. Its far more accessible, affordable and in many ways much better suited for training. To understand its coming impact on training you first have to understand the three flavors of virtual reality.
