i also just realized that there are 2D versions of VR videos on FapHouse
these are basically 4K cropped versions of the larger 8K frame, but clearly if the video was shot for VR you will get better experience in the original format than from the cropped version
if you're watching a 2D crop version of a VR video you're basically poor like me ...
my original plan was to get a new TV after moving to Florida ( which i am in the process of doing ) but now i think maybe instead of replacing my high-end TV with another one i should get a mid-range TV and a VR headset instead ...
i was on Ohana Petite's page on FapHouse and accidentally switched the "VR Only" toggle and realized that out of her 21 VR videos all but one are in 8K resolution and the remaining one is in 7K
that's insane ...
to watch VR on FapHouse you need to buy a special VR membership on top of regular paid membership
i then went to main page with VR switch still on and most VR videos are 5K to 8K ( though they also have some in resolution as low as HD )
i will NOT be getting a VR headset or membership at this time because it still seems like something fringe / frivolous / a toy. but despite the Apple Vision Pro fiasco VR overall seems to be moving forward and marching towards mainstream ...
as somebody who used to have a 8K TV ( before it died ) you need a pretty big TV to enjoy 8K but with a VR headset 8K makes a lot more sense because the 8K frame is actually wider than your field of view ( you have to turn your head to see the whole frame ).
so VR is really the only use case for 8K which is a fairly new technology and so i do think 8K VR probably has a bright future in gaming and porn - which is what most people will be spending time on once AI and Pajeets take all the jobs.
