I think more than gaming porn is the current killer use of 360 VR tech. More on that later.
I’ve always believed VRs biggest use case in the end is work, but resolution and integration to the surrounding environment has been lacking. Have a 360 3D environment to work in, assuming resolution is high enough to read text, opens a lot of possibilities up. Ive done a fair amount of POC with various devices over the years and I stand by that. The gesture recognition of the new apple devices leads more in that direction IMO. For instance, it should be able to key (harhar) off a virtual keyboard being typed on. (Haptics will be an issue!)
I’d note also that VR has been successful in high end manufacturing design as well for these reasons.
I think gaming is what proves a tech and motivates people to engage. On the shadier side, porn even more so. But these technologies wend their ways into all aspects of our lives after being proven out in the game / porn use cases.
