If you look at VR as some new big thing that will revolutionize the way most people watch porn, then yes, in it's current from VR is a fad. But if you just see it for what it currently is, a great 'new' niche with plenty of people willing to pay for it, then VR is not crap. There is a market for it and a big part of that market is willing to pay for it.

VR in it's current form for porn is just too limited, if you are not into the pov style in which the majority of the scenes are shot then you will never like VR porn, no matter how good the quality is and how good the location and the girls are. It's might be fun to watch it sometimes, but it's not a replacement for regular porn.

I used to personally think VR would be the next big thing in porn (I even posted it here in GFY) but after trying it more and more I figured that it's not for everyone and is just a specific niche.

Then for a while I used to think VR would be the next big thing for cams, feeling more like you are in the room with the girl etc, but after attending some seminars a lot of obstacles came up (like for example how can you chat when you can't see your keyboard). All of the obstacles are being worked on (virtual keyboards, voice chat, etc.) but at the moment it's just not great yet and not something that will 'take over' anytime soon.

I do see a future in VR in porn, especially in terms of virtual worlds, and maybe multiple angle, VR mixed with AR, etc. But it's still a very long time from becoming the next big thing.
I can almost 100% agree to this, I have always said that VR is an additional way to consume porn and if done right, it gives those who love it a great experience. And if you read the consumer feedback we receive on reddit or our member forum, we know that our members have a very specific idea what they want for their money.

I have written several magazine articles about VR, in them I compared the current status to Fred Flintstones car.

But I also attend mainstream VR conferences, just last week in Prague for example, with lots of innovative companies and I have a clear idea where technology in general can take us - and how porn can benefit from that.

And it would be laughable to sit back and let this opportunity pass because somebody on GFY doesn't like and/or doesn't understand it.
