Yeah I've been saying this for a long time. Ever since I tried a DK1 with Kinect point cloud rendering of my body, it has been so obviously clear to me that full body reconstruction in VR is a huge boost to the feeling of presence. It was like the first time I tried VR again. 

Modern FBT with anime models that roughly match your proportions is a good but relatively small boost. Full reconstruction of the geometry of your body, including your clothing, is a paradigm shift in immersion. It's not just the feeling of having a body that is affected. The feeling of other things in VR being real is significantly enhanced. It makes sense, since our brain makes sense of the world in a holistic manner.

It is unfortunate that that implies we'll never feel as strongly immersed within bodies that are not our own, or wearing clothing that does not match the virtual clothing. Still, VR's other components will get better, and having roughly matched proportions is still a nice boost to the feeling of presence even if not huge.
