Adult Industry Is Booming With The VR 360 Video Technology

Are you a man who wants to get laid with a beautiful woman or you are a woman who intends to be with the best looking guys in bed? It is no longer a concern. You can even take the role of another gender and explore the sexuality. Given the fact that your VR device is equipped with a high-resolution screen, the whole experience is going to be a hell of a thrilling experience.

Since its inception, the VR technology has seemed to take over the world in a very short period. Estimated to cross a $40 billion mark by 2020, the sector has already started showing up as new means to attract customers including Social Media, Video games, sports and adult industry among others. VR videos or precisely put as stereoscopic videos offer immersive and engaging viewer experience pretty much as if a spherical sphere is wrapped around the head of the viewer without any edges in the field of view; Therefore, expanding the field of view from a rectangle into a 360° sphere.

Even before the internet, the adult industry has been depended on the technology perhaps since its inception as the content used to distribute widely in the forms of VCRs, DVDs and pay per views. The industry gained tremendous pace and profits with the beginning of Internet Era and now it has found its new savior in the form of Virtual reality. One of the major talking points can also be how porn is making its role in expanding the demand and growth of the overall VR industry. For it in turn to be a viable industry, VR has a lot to do with adult industry, since the latter is expected to $1 billion VR sector followed by video games and NFL related content. The relationship between the two is much of a beneficial affair for both the areas with pornography boosting the demand and sales of the VR headsets and the resulting subscriptions to their platforms providing the adult industry much desired new revenue sources.

Over a period of five years ending at 2015, the porn industry seemed to undergo a significant slowdown with the industry growing at just 0.3% annualized rate. The investment in 360 sex video appears to be the plot the adult industry is betting upon. But there are hindrances to look at, and some of them do not seem to be going for it as well. Firstly the costs of the two-dimensional video are quite little or none with homemade videos being shot with iPhones and good quality cameras. On the other side, the cost of creating a VR sex video is much higher. This clearly means that subscriptions have an early role to play, at least until the technology becomes omnipresent or there are consumer graded cameras capable of filming 360-degree content. Secondly, there are many changes and adjustments required with shooting a 360 sex video, mainly due to actor and actress positions, their distance to the camera and poses among other attributing factors. Thirdly, there are concerns regarding the development of too immersive simulated VR sex experiences which can lead to health and mental health issues in the users. To this plot, the two schools of thought argue if a linkage can be derived between VR and further damages without many scientific shreds of evidence.

The haptic feedback which plays a key role in creating a real world factor while playing VR games is more of an adult industry innovated stuff. These electronic toys allow two people irrespective of the distance between them enabling them to have sex with one another through the internet. And since the adult industry is stuffed with a humungous amount of porn videos, anything new or innovative to drive viewer’s emotions has incredible values especially if the industry is based wholly upon stimulating senses. Currently, a VR sex video you might come across shall be a first-person 180 or 360-degree stereoscopic video where you will be provided with the experience of participant’s perspective. But the growth is visible and much more immersive content will find its way to VR headsets in the following time.

Virtual reality brings a sense of complete immersion to the viewers, a 360 sex video turns the passive experience into an interactive one where the game is not just about viewing now, rather it allows one to feel close to another human being, even if that person is just a virtual character. The technological advancement and the coming up of stimulators are capable of offering sexual pleasure to the user without the need of another human being. This very thing is a legitimate concern and has been voiced by media and academics as this technology can eventually serve as a substitute for human contact. Sex is a fundamental part of the society particularly in keeping one’s family legacy going on, and technology changes society. The two things are capable of affecting one another as the VR would change the sex in the time to come. The likes of augmented reality, robotics, and artificial intelligence seem to change the way people go about sex and it can well possibly turn into a passive experience as far as it concerned for pleasure.

The increased number of VR sex video also comes apart due to the increased number of high-end VR headsets such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The increased demand has resulted in Pornhub catering a separate dedicated 360 sex videos which work with almost any headset. Apart from adult movie makers, the XXX game developers have also initiated to include the VR technology in their content to appeal to consumers either looking for innovation or those who are unacquainted with the possible experiences the technology can offer.

Most of the porn people access are mainly from their smartphones, but with a VR sex video, one can move back and forth, walk around and see the content from various angles giving them a higher immersion and sense of presence, especially with the superior processing capabilities of the VR Rigs like Oculus Rift. The point of View is already one of the primary keywords in the porn industry which is taken to yet another level by VR. VR porn is exclusively shot with a point of view perspective, where the camera captures what the viewer would be if he or she were having sex with the performer.

Looking down, you can watch bodies lying back or sitting as the sex happens all up on you and the immersion is nothing like you can imagine. The whole process is like a strip club, where you get to see the performers doing their acts without touching them. But here things can be compensated for the use of Feedback methodologies some of which are already up for sale on platforms like Pornhub. But all of this comes at a price as high as $1000. The revolutionization of the adult industry because of VR porn can highly be credited to the internet of things as well and 3D sensors which are capable of scanning your body and projecting the same in the scene.

So is the VR sex video worth the hassle both the producers and viewers would be growing through investing in this whole new segment? The answers lie in how much the technology can trick the brains into believing the audience is actually feeling the experience. This depends highly upon the position of the actors’ position with respect to the camera. Any change in perspective or angle of capture results in a lesser dynamic interaction than most of the porn scenes. The direction and the camera glitches will go with time, and the industry shall get revived. VR seems to be French kissing the adult industry with a new life after a redundant growth for a long period with VR sex video to be the third largest virtual reality sector.

When Facebook came up with its Oculus Rift, its CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that their rig’s technology opens up doors for entirely new kinds of experiences. Would he have thought about the use of VR in 360 sex video? It’s obviously difficult to comment here. But none the less, Oculus Company does not restrict the usage of the camera for any kind of software usage, which implies its acceptance of Virtual reality porn. With the processing speeds of Oculus Rift and the splendid quality that the camera can offer, will be attracting pornographers to take interest in the entirely new segment of the porn. Thanks to the amazing, immersed, heightened, and enhanced user experience Virtual reality devices are capable of offering the keywords related to VR porn seem to be highly searched worldwide. The adult industry"s early adoption of the VR technology will result in the same results as its embrace of the home video did. An increased consumer engagement with VR technology will lead to lots of money and, of course, continuing unease about the dehumanizing effects of pornography on the viewers.
