 If it weren't for the porn industry, you probably wouldn't be seeing this video. The relationship between the adult entertainment industry and consumer electronics goes back decades, and porn has played a sizable role in creating innovative business models and methods that have benefitted the industry. Take the VCR, a pricey piece of hardware in the 1970s when it was introduced. It was cheaper for the adult industry to make porn on video cassette and on film, so they created tons of adult content on VHS and Betamax, and people could watch it from the privacy of their own home. All of that adult content gave people lots of reason to invest in the hardware for themselves. When they bought VCRs, other content producers took note and made their own content available on video cassette. That in turn gave even more consumers reason to invest. You see the same dynamic with other forms of tech, too. First, DVDs, and later, the Internet. Internet users demanded better tech so that they could watch their porn in peace, and the media industry really delivered. The porn industry was even behind the first ever successful video streaming system, which is of course now foundational to a typical Internet experience. You can take all of that and think about what those lessons might mean for VR. Right now, the porn industry is investing big in VR, creating new formats and coming up with new ways of filming VR content, and all of that's happening as headsets are getting cheaper and even easier to use. If you're a headset maker, it doesn't much matter if a customer is buying your device to watch porn or not. A unit sold is a unit sold. All of that's to say, investment from the adult content industry is a good sign for VR enthusiasts, whether or not you're interested in watching it for yourself.
