No, Facebook Didn’t Just Ban “VR Sex Apps” on the Oculus Rift

June 16, 2015 by oldowner Leave a Comment

When Palmer Luckey announced that Rift would not block VR sex apps, users rejoiced:

The rift is an open platform. We don’t control what software can run on it, and that’s a big deal.

At a recent pre-E3 press conference, Oculus unveiled the final consumer version of the Rift – but they also briefly showed a new VR storefront for demoing and purchasing VR content. It’s here where the contention lies, as Facebook clarified that apps with sexual content would not be permitted on the store.

New outlets quickly jumped on this statement to claim porn would no longer be allowed on the Rift, thereby dashing the dreams of thousands of perverts around the globe.

Oculus only distributes developer content that meets their terms of service, which forbid pornographic content from being a part of the Oculus Store,

Only problem is – the reporting of all this no VR Sex Apps is largely bullshit. We already knew that adult experiences probably wouldn’t be allowed on any official Rift game store, just as they aren’t currently permitted on Oculus Share, or on Oculus’ Gear VR content store, or on Steam. This isn’t news. Oculus won’t distribute your porn or virtual sex games, but it’s certainly in no position to “block” them from displaying on the device – at least not in it’s current form. That’s like saying Samsung has somehow blocked pornography from being played back on its TVs. In order to do that, the Rift would need to be an entirely closed ecosystem, similar to iOS, which only runs apps from the Oculus approved app store. They’d also presumably ban video players, since those can be used to playback dirty movies.

The Oculus Rift is a display device. If and when that fundamentally changes to being a closed consumer product, you can be damn sure their potential customer base will drop to a fraction of what is now. Until then, I humbly ask media outlets to stop spreading lies – and if you see someone republishing nonsense, call them out on their bullshit.

Sex Toys That Connect to VR Porn: That’s a Thing, Now

June 7, 2015 by oldowner 2 Comments

Lovense began life as an IndieGogo campaign, though failed to gather their goal funding of $50,000, instead receiving just half. Undeterred, they’ve finally released the first two of what will hopefully be many products: Max, a male masturbator; and Nora, a vibrator.

Of special interest to us though is Max and Nora’s ability to sync with Virtual Real Porn movies. Max has special air pockets on the side that contract with the speed of the actress, while Nora’s rotation speed does the same. Both have vibrations linked to body contact.

Lovense’s devices not only connect to special porn tracks, but also to each other: a form of teledildonics. Designed for long distance relationships, each device is equipped with sensors and a BlueTooth connection so that sensations can be synchronized. Sessions can then be recorded and played back later.

Of course, it can only go so far. We’re intrigued by the air pump contractions on Max, but vibrating toys are so boring: what we’d really like to see is a machine that actually mimics the trusts.

Lovense isn’t the first company to tackle teledildonics on a commercial scale either: RealTouch tried, with a disturbingly terrifying masturbator that could also be linked to special porn tracks, but were forced to stop selling the device at the start of 2014 due to increased manufacturing and licensing costs.

Here’s hoping Lovense doesn’t suffer the same fate. Kiiroo offers a similar pair of devices, though seems to be aimed only at male pleasure given that it’s a one-way communication from the dildo to the masturbator. The Kiiroo device does however go further by using a set of contracting rings, essentially making it a hands-off operation for the guy; as well as linking up with a vast library of (Non-VR) porn videos.

Preliminary reviews of the Lovense products haven’t been so great – with users complaining of connectivity woes and far-too-large penises that can’t possibly fit into the small hole of the Max device – but we’ve reached out to see if we can get our hands on them to judge for ourselves.

For now, it looks like the world of good quality teledildonics is forever just around the corner.

360 Panoramic VR Porn Previews

360 panoramic VR porn previews

DMM (Digital Media Mart), a Japanese DVD and video streaming service, have released a few 360 panoramic VR porn previews. Put “VR” in quotes because they aren’t stereoscopic, but they’re still worth a quick download. They all feature the same room with a few different porn scenes going on at the same time. You’ll find the 3 short movies here (scroll down the page).

On each movie page, you should see a large, orange download button on the right side.

By default, you may have been presented with an English language version of the site. The download links result in an error unless you switch to the Japanese version of the site. To do so, click the label 日本語 at the top of the screen where the English is currently highlighted in orange. Now the downloads should work.

You’ll also find some non-adult music videos and “virtual dating” experiences on the other branch of their DMM VR experiments.

Use LiveViewRift to view the videos.

VR Strip Girlz Free Teaser

May 31, 2015 by oldowner 1 Comment

This is one porn download you’ll actually want to invite your friends round to check out – but be sure to give them some privacy to really enjoy the moment. Quietly announced as a free demo for an upcoming VR porn company, downloads of this surprisingly great quality stereoscopic striptease quickly rolled in. There’s just one catch: about halfway through the 2 minute striptease, the stunningly attractive girl transforms into a fat dude. And then the strip continues anyway.

Download the highest quality version (4096 x 1100 px resolution); they recommend LiveViewRift software for your viewing pleasure. (Be warned, it’s a 700mb video)

Incredibly – despite being leagues ahead of existing VR porn – the VR Strip Girlz video seems to have been designed purely as a prank / viral demo. There isn’t actually a new VR porn company behind it, at least not yet. The director, Lex Hallaby, is typically be involved with music videos, but decided to make this for his own amusement using a cobbled together VR camera rig, after friends who came to check out his DK2 asked the inevitable “is there porn for this thing?”

Here’s hoping he has more to show us. The director, that is, not the fat dude in the video.

Yiffalicious, a Furry VR Sex Simulator (In Development)

April 26, 2015 by oldowner 3 Comments

Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for: virtual horse cocks. Yiffalicious (from the word Yiff) is a no-bullshit furry VR sex simulator currently in development, and it looks incredible. Planned features include:

Model marketplace for importing and selling your furry character creations
Interaction editor, so you can design your own poses and short movies, then publish them for all to enjoy.
Enjoy interactions from the point of view of either character (perfect for VR) as well as third person perspective.
Procedural animations, so you can tweak it exactly how you want and not rely on a limited number of preset animations.
Facial expressions, something often overlooked or badly done in 3D games.

It’s an exciting list of features, and with model imports it’s not hard to imagine the engine could potentially be expanded to cover non-furry interactions too. Clearly, this isn’t going to be the killer VR porn app for everyone, but it’s precisely this kind of niche content that makes VR porn such an exciting opportunity.

Sadly, there’s no demo to download and VR support is promised at a later date after the main app has launched. Still, if you head over to Patreon and show your support with as little as $3/month, they might be more inclined to prioritize a working VR demo.

Furry sex not your thing? Check out VR Titties, a similar project with character designer for regular human sex (and a downloadable demo).

VrTitties Launches On Patreon: Will You Pay For Your VR Porn?

March 5, 2015 by oldowner 1 Comment

VRTitties stands out as one of the best VR porn demos we’ve seen to date – fluid animations, realistic girls, and a number of different positions (you can still download the old version here) – but with the release of the newest version, the developer has decided that in order to continue with development, he’d like some support.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTCcqoRt9nI&t=44

For that, he’s launched a Patreon campaign with the minimum donation of $1/month getting you access to the newest version, and other perks such as a listing in the credits or even in-game advertising if you decided to support more.

The latest version (0.12) adds some pretty incredible new features – such as customizing your girl in every possible way (big ass? big tits? pregnant? check) – as well as adding more positions and a free camera mode.

If you’re not familiar, Patreon is like Kickstarter but with recurring payments – and in the same way, project creators can create funding stretch once they reach $X/month. It’s proven to work – Tom Merrit’s daily tech news show is currently hitting just under $15k/month, but there’s only so much cash consumers are willing to part with, especially when it’s a recurring payment.

Should you pay for your VR porn? Of course you should: apart from the fact that all he’s asking for is a minimum $1/month, it’s only through efforts like this that we’ll ever get anything beyond single room amateur MMD demos (don’t get me wrong, they have their place too).

Head over to Patreon to pledge your support, now – he’s currently at a measly $200/month, and the next stretch goal is at $500/month, at which point he’s promised to hire additional talent for voice acting etc.

VRTitties is already one of the best VR porn experiences out there – but it needs your help to be even better. What are you waiting for?
