[yt-dev] VR refactor status update

[Cameron Hummels]

Oh I'm not suggesting that the code isn't solid, just that one of the main
points in doing the refactor was to make the scene stuff more general and
able to work with TimeSeries data instead of individual frames
one-at-a-time.  I'd just as soon get that into the codebase before it gets
released so any api changes are done up front before the api becomes more
permanent.

What other work is blocked on this PR?
