I also shoot most of my films in 4k 2.40 aspect ratio. I use half a dozen different types of cameras and shoot on computer controlled stabilization platforms. We upgrade constantly because I can utilize the new technology that in most cases it has real world practical solutions. I was one of the very first directors to shoot DSLR style and as far as I know the first director in adult to shoot with anamorphic lenses. So I do know what I am talking about.

All that being said, why would I want to have to look at a tiny girl in a distorted fishbowl just so I can look around her apartment? Just Google ?VR PORN? and tell me what you see. You think that is the future of porn? It is not. It is a half measure. VR is itself a very viable tech and will make billions. But like I said above, IN THE PORN CONTEXT it is CURRENTLY for curious people who have heard about VR porn and want to check it out. In other words porn VR is a gimmick. Real VR (not cartoons or distorted 180 degree fisheyes) requires too much processing power and bandwidth for current infrastructure. That is why for a while successful commercial products utilizing VR will be video games were a complete CG environment is expected. "
