Will there be this technology in the near future?

I'm thinking of virtual simulating machines, like you lie down in some sort of bed and start playing a game, let's say, zombie apocalypse survival, you could build houses combine items (doing the exact steps like in real life (nailing a board into a window for a barricade you would actually have to do it, you'll feel it, move, etc., but it would be inside a machine, and you wouldn't move at all in real life.)), etc.

So does anyone have ideas how to do this or in how much time this concept will turn into reality and into be commercially available to the public?
Also, could you add some links I can investigate?

It would also be cool if you could select difficulty, like easy mode you wouldn't feel much pain at all when lets say you get hurt, or hard mode a single scratch burns like hell.

Oh and I'm not talking about augmented reality glasses like the Rift, I'm talking about some machine you put on your head or something that makes you go to sleep but conscious, and it would then send data to your brain telling it what you're supposed to see, and you would get sick, or hurt just like in real life, and the AI would be advanced enough to make you be able to do things like in real life per example carve things out of wood, etc.
 
Afraid not. The technology you are describing is basically something that would alter your dreams to pre-programed code. Even when the technology becomes available, it will be hard to get it to be allowed for use.

Examples: What if the game crashes? What if the battery dies? What if the room you are in goes on fire or a burglar enters your home? How much would it cost?

The good news is that we have the technology already to do something almost like this, but cost is still a concern. Basically a treadmill type device (possibly able to rotate 360) with some motion sensors to read your movements as well as a screen that covers the device(or just something to put over your eyes) .
By replacing things like up and down with moving forward or backward as well as being able to sense when you turn your body and when you intend to do something (like what you said above).
Pain would not exist but possibly something like compressed air shoots at you alerting you of danger.

But that cost a lot, and the majority of it are just plausible ideas I came up with myself.
