It would be a poor assumption to think that the gamers will be the biggest market even out of the gate with VR.
3D and VR media (including porn) will be about 40% of the market from the start.
The reason is because of the entry level devices are smartphones. Most of which are going to be getting a speed enhancement in 2016 with quad core GPU's and faster CPU's.
And a add-on to a smartphone you have, while not preforming as well as a dedicated VR HMD, is less that 1/5th the cost and you can take it with you wherever you go. And both (phones and media) will be most popular with the 20-40 crowd.
Netflix,hulu are some of the many with offerings from the start.
As it is now, it may be 3 years or 3 generations of products before we achieve the badly needed standards for formats.
Till then, much more work to keep the masses happy.
Perfect opportunity for anyone to get a leg up on a new industry.
Look forward to MaDalton's first trials !
