This! 100 times!
If VR takes off I honestly expect the big naughty sites to fully embrace it.

I would have thought it would be more like watching a huge cinema screen in front of you rather than you being "in the film". That kind of immersion is way beyond our technology yet. Although I look forward to the time when holodecks become real
+1Read "Ready Player One" !
I think more limited by morality and common decency... I have a very dark imagination!!VR potentially has unlimited uses, limited only by people's creativity.

But it's down to whether enough of the buyers share that same flexibility...I think we all know there are people out there who don't let morals stand in the way of business
I can see VR coverage of sport and events becoming a big thing. Just imagine being in the front row at Glastonbury without the mud, an Ashes Tour without the travel or seeing the RAC rally without getting blasted in the face with stones.
Actually imagine how cool it would be if they could put a VR camera on a moving F1 car.
As much as I like technology I hope it never replaces the actual reality of being in each of those places. No matter how real it feels there's nothing like being there in person.
Yeah, nothing like the thrill of an event... getting up early to drive miles and miles, paying a fortune for both parking and entry, while you queue up for ages, before enjoying the standing-room only in the freezing cold, surrounded by loud, smelly people, while getting fleeced for overpriced low quality food...No matter how real it feels there's nothing like being there in person.
With 7.1 headphones that actually sound like 7.1.
Wouldn't it hurt the AV market though? Why spend thousands on projectors and screens when you can buy a £500 VR headset.
Is VR solely for games or will there be other applications as well? I'm thinking along the lines of films, virtual tourism or experiences and vistas like skydiving or tropical beaches.
I know it might sound boring, but it just seems to me there are so many possible avenues for it to take.
Could we one day see people donning their VR headsets and shopping in VR supermarkets?
