You know the scene, the one where Tom Cruise is working his way through the UI with a series of hand gestures (although the one in Iron Man 2 is an upgrade). As I was watching the clip, I watched Underkloffer

I keep wanting goggles, gloves, and multiple VR ginormous screens of whatever that you can just move around.

And the hardware is all either really expensive or really narrowly focused on a particular application. Or both.
