Speaking as a filmmaker and entrepreneur here. Oculus is NOT the future of anything. It isn't going to replace movies or gaming or take the place of any already existing models of entertainment that we have in place. The opportunity always exists for new media and entertainment consumption (look no further than short form video content ala youtube...). We all said it wasn't going to go anywhere. We all said it would replace the way we watch movies.
Oculus is going to exist on it's own accord. A new breed of content producers is going to come in and capitalize on this new media and entertainment platform just like people always have. Movie theaters may go away, we may turn to instant film distribution via online platforms, but we will never simply REPLACE filmmaking by this new medium. They both will exist in their own accord. "360degree choose-your-own-adventure" storytelling will emerge as it's own thing - as will "360degree sporting and live spectacle events".
