There is a startup called Ono-Sendai (yes, named after the fictional company in William Gibson's "Neuromancer") that has announced that they're working on a consumer VR system to ship in the next year or so. It should cost under $1000 and will include the helmet, position sensors, and some kind of hand-position stuff too.
