There is a Multimedia team under Editing, and it includes Mark Holmquist of
the former Multimedia team as to lead engineer. The teams roadmap is in the
works, but 3D is something that's been coming up a lot lately, so the team
should be able to at least make some plans around figuring it out pretty
soon.

People have been talking about vr for a long time. I think there is more
pressing concerns (e.g. video). I suspect VR will stay in the video game

Also, this article[1] suggests that VR may see widespread adoption in the
next few years, and a multimedia team could capitalize on the trend.
