Personally, I think the future of VR is going to be POV semi-interactive videos (think the choose your own adventure stories where you select the scenario or what you want to do during the scene then it happens) working with a device or devices that are connected to your computer that will stimulate your body as the action happens. If you could lay back on your couch, dick a motorized fleshlight kind of thing, probes on your nipples to stimulate them and go through a semi-interactive scene with your favorite pornstar it would be a hell of an experience. I think we are pretty close to having the technology available and affordable for something like this.

If you have ever seen how they do it in Hollywood, the cost is high only because it is a time and labor intensive task doing 3D scans and doing them right. And then the CGI folks have to clean them up frame by frame.
For a 10 minute scene, it may take 5 folks several weeks of long days of work.
I'm sure you could hit Youtube up for some how-it's-done videos.
Look at the ones they do for the Sports games. They use the most modern low cost techniques that are applicable for cinematic VR.
