As I pointed out in another thread I am skeptical, sure its a thing everyone will try but I expect once they do they will return to the tubesites.

in order to get true VR you need to dynamically generate the environment, otherwise your position in the space is fixed, you can turn your head but you cant lower/raise it, you cant walk around the environment so it simply becomes an IMax movie so to speak and the thing with dynamically generated scene is that it never happened, so the actors/actresses are computer generated. It can certainly find a porn niche there but thats a pretty far ways off I expect.

Dont get me wrong there are HUGE markets for this type of VR, in education and other areas but as a movie device it doesnt really integrate you into the production you are merely strapped to a chair in one spot watching what happens around you.

In a game, say something like skyrim where your environment is dynamically generated, so you can move around in the environment this has HUGE potential, no doubt it will change gaming. but as a vehicle for porn or watching movies in general I suspect it lacks the mobility and versatility needed to make it immersive enough to keep it interesting.
