Yes, but any old chair, table or couch would do. The VR just has to
follow the same shape and change the colour or styling. Though VR
would have to make sure that your sense of touch wasn't confused when
you tried to touch something that wasn't there in reality. Like trying
to put a cup down on a table extension that wasn't there.

Again, looking and touching would have to match.  :)
I think the VR processors need to advance to the next generation to
cope with mobile objects like other humans or animals. Changing the
wallpaper or pictures on the wall is much easier to process.
