I have no doubt it will catch on at some point. But the question I ask myself is whether or not porn will be the catalyst for VR headset sales. My guess is the gaming industry, not porn, will be the industry that forwards VR technology.
Gamers who already have a headset might check some of the porn out. But I honestly cannot see people spending a bunch of money on a headset for porn specifically. VR needs a multitude of content producers across a wide variety of niches in order for it become commonplace. Frankly, I cannot imagine a bunch of people getting together in a room, wearing headsets, to watch the Superbowl, for example.
Most intriguing to me, however, is ROI. VR is not exactly cheap to produce. And every day we hear people lamenting the downturn in porn site memberships. Behind closed doors, there's certainly more than one company who has told me that sales are difficult to get these days. With the cost of VR porn production, I wonder if there will be enough people who will actually buy a VR headset and spend money on porn to return a positive ROI on the production.
Time will tell.
Personally, VR gives me an awful headache after a few minutes of using the headset, so for me it holds very little interest beyond the novelty of it. One can/would assume the tech will only get better, and more affordable.
