Just a update/addendum to what is happening.
Oculus has announced release for CV1 Q1 2016.
Both the Vive and Oculus will have about a 4k res.
Don't let that fool you as it takes twice the res in VR to provide the same crispness of video. Because by design, you are looking at the screen through a magnifying glass (for a 100 degree or better field of view) and you don't want to be able to see the space between the pixels.(pixel density). Probably need to shoot in 1 - 2k res. if you want to play back on normal lower power devices.
I'm sure things will change quick as they put more powerful graphics chips in phones. Like dual GPU's.
GoPro is going to be entering the VR market.
I can't see porn needing to be shot in a full Omnispheric video. Hemispheric video will do.
You just need to "not do" certain things you might otherwise have done like panning the cam quickly or zooming fast.
...more later...
