Do You Even Know What is VR Porn? Let's Find Out Together!

We are not kidding with the title of this article – people still ask this question! We are producing VR porn movies for many, many years now, we have gotten to satisfy millions of sexual fantasies of our fans and members in the past – and yet a lot of you, in the year of 2020, still ask the question: what is VR porn? Well, let us try to yet again explain some basics to you – but since we talked about that rather thoroughly in this article, today we are going to have a slightly different approach and cover other things that may interest you, including the still-fresh AR porn scenes and the differences between porn and VR porn from both your and our side.

What is Virtual Reality

Virtual reality is a computer-built three-dimensional environment, thanks to which the user can move and interact, which results in activating one of the five human senses. Computer-generated virtual reality can be dynamic or static. In the case of a static image, the virtual universe is created on the basis of the previously created environment, while in a dynamic world, the user, thanks to his avatar, interacts with other people or things and creates his own environment. We all know VR for a while already, and we use it in our everyday lives – but what about this technology in porn? What makes VR porn so special?

Virtual Reality in Porn

The pornographic industry has always driven growth. The desire to watch other people having sex is natural for us, so this industry has driven the sale of first videotapes, and then DVDs. That is why porn companies have been looking for a place on the internet for themselves, and they have contributed to the creation of players directly on the site. It is the porn industry that has been experimenting for years with interactive pages where you can watch movies in 360 degrees – and this striving for new technologies has to lead to the introduction of virtual reality in porn. No wonder that as soon as there was a chance to create a meaningful VR headset, there were many projects immediately trying to manage this combination of our original instincts with the latest technologies. Watching pornographic videos on modern VR headsets like Oculus Rift from producers like VR Bangers is a completely different experience, and if you are one of the viewers of premium virtual reality porn videos, you certainly already know what do we mean by that. Even though it may all sound complicated, the concept of such porn is simple for now. Most VR porn videos are a point of view materials, i.e. the action is observed from the first person as if feeling the hero and taking over his body. In VR porn, as the cameras recording in virtual reality represent the latest technological solutions, the video quality is stunning, almost indistinguishable from reality, maybe even better – nowadays it reaches 4K, 6K UHD, and even 8K ultra-high definition. While being immersed in virtual reality, you can see everything – not only positives but also imperfections. A small scar, skin defects, you can even see the characteristic way the breast skin reacts to a more hardcore touch, with light stretch marks and natural furrows – and that is what makes VR porn such an amazing experience.

Differences Between VR Porn and Regular Adult Movies

In addition to all of the above, at this stage of the consideration of VR porn, it would certainly depend on the question: what is actually the difference between this new technology and something we have been watching on the internet for years? Well, as far as this is concerned, it is important to note that these differences can be seen from both sides – that is, from the VR porn video producer's and its recipient's.

Differences From VR Porn Producer's Point of View

We have been working with VR porn for years and for us their production has never been a problem – but it must be made clear that the process is much more complicated. First of all, creating VR porn videos requires much more technologically advanced equipment – a camera for recording in virtual reality, or actually a whole set of cameras, which allows capturing the image in 3D 360 degrees. Additionally, the microphones we use are also much more advanced, because they have to be able to capture spatial sound – and this is just the technological side of the whole production process… There is also the aspect of working with VR porn actresses, who are not always ready to work this way either. One of the challenges for VR sex actors is to be close to the camera ("about 70 cm to 6 m"). All this is due to the limited resolution of the goggles – the viewer may have trouble recognizing an object that is further away. In addition, the shots can be shot from up to two places. This means that one actor has to be immobilized and the other has to perform in front of the camera so that the viewer has the impression that the actress (or the character played by a man) is looking in his direction. When we asked the VR porn stars working with us what difference they feel the most, we heard that the "static position of the camera" is the biggest difference associated with the shooting of porn for virtual reality.

Differences for the Viewer

Who, like who, but it is you – devoted viewers of VR porn movies – who know the differences between the two best. Anyone who has decided to invest in a new generation VR headset and started subscribing to a site like VRBangers.com will most likely never come back to classic porn because the difference is appalling and it is extremely hard to get weaned off it. Here, in the world of virtual reality porn, you are not only a spectator, watching one of the sexiest women in the world satisfy you in front of your eyes, but you also participate in the whole process and can actively contribute to it. Two-dimensional porn movies will never be able to give the viewer this level of realism and we are aware of the great role played by immersion of our virtual reality porn experiences – and we do our best to make it as deep as possible.

And What About Augmented Reality?

Augmented reality (AR) is when we observe the real world around us through electronic devices (e.g. a tablet or a smartphone) with additional graphic elements added. How does the AR mechanism work? A device's camera captures the real image, then transfers it to a dedicated application (the user can usually use his own device after downloading a special application). The application searches for programmed patterns (so-called markers) in the image and then adds additional graphic elements to the observed image, creating an augmented reality that the user sees. There are not many promising AR porn projects on the market at the moment, and the technology is just getting started – but some time ago we wrote you about AR Conk (we even made a VR porn movie about it), the augmented reality porn initiative that VR Bangers were involved in.

AR Porn vs VR Porn

The worlds of VR and AR differ greatly in the quality of the image and the experience of the participant. In the case of virtual reality, the experience will be much deeper. In this solution, the user will not be condemned to the graphics overlayed on the camera image and will be independent of the lighting conditions in the room (which can have a significant impact on the quality of the image displayed on the mobile device). However, the world of VR also has its drawbacks: because VR glasses completely obscure the world around, some people may feel dizzy or even nauseous – but with the development of VR headsets and the whole technology, this happens less and less often. To sum up – if the user looks through the phone or tablet and only there can observe the modified version of reality, we are dealing with augmented reality (AR). On the other hand, if the experience requires him to put on glasses and isolates him completely from the world around him, it is a virtual reality experience (VR). Which one is better? Well, opinions are mixed. Some believe that AR porn will eventually supplant virtual reality porn, just as VR porn slowly dominates classical adult movies – when others say that AR porn movies are an exaggeration and that they will never be as realistic as virtual reality sex. It remains for us to wait and see for ourselves, and let you make that decision yourself – maybe the AR Conk will develop to such an extent that VR Bangers will invest even more in this technology?
