Will Brain-Computer interfaces allow us to achieve full dive VR

Hi, Will Brain-Computer interfaces allow us to achieve full dive VR? E.g. neuralink.

I was thinking about this in work, I really hope so.

my idea was to use it for people in a vegative state, the people who can still hear and think. Connect the VR to there eyes and family members could link up in a VR room. How amazing would that be? Or even better a hologram! They could use the neurolink to communicate.

There's  a TV series called Altered Carbon that has the same thing. They stole their tech from aliens though. I personally think it's when not if. Maybe in the next Century or two. Understanding the brain will be the biggest problem, maybe even more difficult than the theory of everything in my opinion.

How are we defining full dive? To my mind it should at least engage all the traditional senses (Aristotle's 5).

There's a thread in computer science - will VR ever replace reality - which has answers similar to what I think your looking for. 

Without being rude, it's not one of the better threads though.

an even better one in computer science is - will we get brain computer interfaces by 2037 - both of these are on the first page.
