VR pr0n is nasty because one can see all imperfections that Photoshop/Portaiture would instantly remove on 2D imagery/movies, breaking the spell. I would rather watch travel documentaries to choose my next vacation or interesting places I'd never see otherwise, like climbing something in Himalayas, visiting Galapagos, Antarctica etc. Visualizing my next house before it's built with all the views to/from the outside would be great as well.

A thread on the future of VR demands that: > because one can see all imperfections be qualified "for now". Once upon a time 2D digital porn d/loaded scan line by scan line over several minutes in low resolution and reduced colour maps.

  This is different. If you ever worked with models as a photographer, you'd have noticed that many models that look great in "2D camera projection" look weirdly distorted in the real life. VR basically showcases this weirdness and what tended to be attractive in 2D is suddenly repulsive in 3D.

    This may or may not change - if you're talking about real life (some) fleash and (some) blood X-Ray models with profiles that can cut glass then yes, they can look weird IRL actual 3d. However that may (or may not) push the use of models that live IRL and look pretty decent from most angles being used as the foundation for VR modelling. The point being, one way or another, 3D VR will likely lose the weirdness, through viewer acclimation or product delivery advancement.

Like I said in my comment, if you saw one that didn't appeal do you then you need to watch others. There are plenty with imperfections and there are plenty without. Apparently you watched ones with and made the mistaken assumption that that was a problem with the medium itself and not with the quality of the content you saw
