Such a setup would potentially let you add three-dimensional graphics on top of the camera feed and allow for augmented reality. However, the execs at Oculus VR have said that maybe one day, they will add cameras to the goggles, allowing you to see the real world when you're not in a game similar to the Samsung Gear VR and the HTC Vive. While Oculus Rift lets you see a 3D world, it lacks a camera to allow wears to see outside the headset which means it can't do AR. Augmented reality (AR) involves superimposing graphics over a view of the real world, such as a smartphone's camera or the lenses in Microsoft's HoloLens glasses.
