After HD was introduced in the mid aughts, it took a while for directors to figure out how to shoot for it's enhanced capabilities and different aspect ratio, and it may just be that it'll take people a while to figure out VR. Or, it may be that VR porn--like the unlamented 3D porn before it--is, as Jay concludes, just a gimmick.
