The Daily Beast recently ran a piece by Aurora Snow on the subject of the Oculus Rift and porn.
Although it's still early days, with the consumer version of the Rift not due out until next year, I think the device is going to have a big impact on the way porn is consumed in the future.
What would be particularly amazing, is if a Rift-compatible version of the RealTouch were to be released, as it would give the viewer an almost complete sense of immersion.
Here are a couple of interesting links on the topic:

"The Oculus Rift essentially tricks your brain into believing what it sees is real."
Does this mean anal will cease to be painful?

^Why would VR be different? No one has ever been hurt from watching someone else get fucked in the ass so why would a VR headset change that?
Now as to VR technology being the future of porn than the answer is hell no and here is why.
1-The current use for VR is in computer games where games already offer a 360° view of the action. This is especially true in FPS (First Person Shooter) games. The major advantage with a VR headset is that you don't have to move the mouse to look in various directions but simply move your head. That can add a lot of options to game makers.
2-That's why VR is perfect for computer games because your character already lives is a 360° virtual world. It's just that you only see where the mouse is pointing but with VR you can see everything just by moving your head.
3-The reason why VR is not a good idea for any live show or movie is that the world you see on screen is not 360° since only about 180° of the action can be seen. TV shows and movies are shot on sets where the camera is limited to only a small percentage of the actual set or the viewer will see that it's not real and there goes the illusion the filmmaker went to all the trouble of creating. Would anyone have been impressed with the Star wars opening if at some point the camera had panned so far out that you saw that the ships were models being filmed on a small set?
4-The only movie where I think you could have had a VR headset and it would have added something to the scene is in the final battle sequence for the recent Doom movie where your character is in the First Person mode. Of course the reason that would work is because you are basically watching someone else play a video game.
5-Now let's say for argument sake that the porn scene is shot in 360° and you can use a VR headset to watch it. Who will be watching anything other than the two or more people having sex? I can't imagine too many people looking at the walls or the ceiling while the performers are having sex.
Maybe one day we will have the ability to watch a porn scene from any angle. Then I could see the advantage for a VR headset but we are far from that kind of technology.

I haven't read the article, but I can't see how the oculus rift could be the future of porn. First of all, it's POV, and I don't like POV porn. Second, I think that the oculus is good for something rendered and even with the most advanced programs faces are still unnatural, not for real actresses. I have often wondered about those cameras used for Matrix, something that could allow the viewer to move around the performers. That would be something, but I guess it costs too much.

um no... with vr porn you'd actually be acting like you're fucking the girls yourself. one step closer to the real thing. it's called virtual reality for a reason.
look at what the japanese are working on

Only if your VR headset is sending a signal directly into your brain like in Sylvester Stallone's Demolition Man but that is not what current generation VR headset do. All they allow the user to do is look around and only to stuff that has already been shot. I guess you can call what Google does with their street view virtual reality but all it really is. Is the ability to look 360° at images that were recorded with a 360° camera. You can't interact with those images anymore than someone wearing a VR headset can with a porn scene or mainstream movie.
I'd also like to add that what those Japanese did was create a virtual computer world where you can use a VR headset and a fuck machine(not clue what to call it other that that) to simulate someone fucking a virtual character. You are getting closer to virtual reality sex but I don't think this is what the OP is thinking about and in the end you are still wearing what must be a pretty heavy headset with VR goggles and fucking an inanimate object.

If only similar amounts of time/effort/energy/research could be geared toward improvements in "regular" pornmaking.

I've watched their publicly available clip, and I don't think it's going to work the way they do it.
Because they constantly show you the guy's body from his point of view. Which is really gay for a heterosexual porn movie. Heterosexual guys don't usually look at their own body this much or this way, and they certainly don't look this way at the body of some other guy.
And it's not just having too much male body in the picture. It's also pretty hard for the male viewer to believe that this body is his. Because the viewer doesn't feel anything, when the ladies touch the guy, or he touches them, or he touches himself. This kind of an illusion is totally unrealistic, and it doesn't work.
To make this kind of thing work without touching and without showing too much of the male body, the viewer needs to see it from a 3rd person point of view, just like in a regular porn-movie. The advantage of virtual reality is that it makes you feel like you are in the room. It's an IMAX surround kind of an experience that makes you feel like you are really there.
Perhaps casting the viewer as the film director, who tells the fucking couple what to do would work well with this kind of technology. Of course, they would need to set it up so that the couple actually responds to what the viewer says. Which is pretty hard to do with a regular movie. It needs to be set up like a video game.
