I believe VR Journalism is the future of journalism and the Killer App for VR: place multiple 360 cameras in the same area, and the area can be reconstructed to the degree a that a person wearing a headset can walk freely around the space viewing where ever they choose. Now imagine installations like that in Paris right now - being able to see and walk in the places the attacks took place, or imagine such an installation on the red carpet at the Oscars, or such a treatment for sports. Being able to project oneself into live, impact events and view them unfold is the Killer App for VR.

Also of interest to the startup community is that they just raised a $30 million A round (http://uploadvr.com/nextvr-raises-30-million-vr/ http://uploadvr.com/nextvr-raises-30-million-vr/)
