LOS ANGELES—A survey of adult movie fans on the subject of virtual reality (VR) reveals that the availability of porn movies would influence more than 60 percent of them to adopt the new technology.

The survey indicated that VR is still in its infancy among fans of adult movies, with just 10.3 percent of respondents saying they currently own a VR headset.

Among respondents who plan to get VR, 34 percent said they are definitely planning to purchase porn content, while 46.8 percent said they are not sure they will buy adult content and 19.1 percent said they definitely will not buy porn. Movies with a story line would be preferable among 41.3 percent of the respondents.
