Vicky Vette, an adult entertainment star who last week was inducted into the Adult Video News Hall of Fame, told Motherboard in a recent interview that while there's plenty of excitement surrounding virtual reality in the industry, there are some doubts about the technology's mass appeal.

"[VR porn] has a lot of possibilities," said Vette (who with 720,000 Twitter followers is by far the most popular person on the social network who follows me).

But as she sees it, one key factor that may prevent the widespread adoption of VR among potential customers is the sheer cost. An Oculus Rift and required PC is expected to cost a combined $1,500, according to Oculus VR, the company behind the virtual reality headset. While cheaper options are available, including Google Cardboard, they're "not particularly sexy," said Vette. My own experience with Google Cardboard and a VR porn tube site bears that out: It's not exactly easy to, uh, watch, while holding Cardboard up to your face.
