If you watch VR porn videos a lot and you are the VR Bangers' member and fan for a moment now, you certainly realize the superiority of virtual reality porn contents over the regular, 2d ones. But does it mean that you actually know how does it all work? How familiar are you with the virtual reality technology related terms? Have you ever questioned the whole methodology behind the VR porn? Today we will tell you something about it in this article. Without further ado - let's begin!
Matter-of-fact definition of virtual reality
According to
Wikipedia: "Virtual reality (VR) is an interactive computer-generated experience taking place within a simulated environment, that incorporates mainly auditory and visual, but also other types of sensory feedback like haptic. This immersive environment can be similar to the real world or it can be fantastical, creating an experience that is not possible in ordinary physical reality." So what does it all mean?
Simply speaking, it means that virtual reality is a realistic three-dimensional image or artificial environment that is created with a mixture of interactive hardware and software, and presented to the user in such a way that the any doubts are suspended and it is accepted as a real environment in which it is interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way. Naturally, this definition does apply to VR porn movies too, but we are not talking about them in-here - at least not yet.
Key elements of virtual reality (and VR porn films)
Still does not ring the bell? Well, don't worry, this is just a beginning of this article. To better understand this entire phenomena, let's try to split it down into some elements - describing those should let you process this whole technological gibberish more easily.
Virtual reality itself
As mentioned above, the virtual reality itself is just a three-dimensional environment that is processed with use of a medium (as part of the rendering/displaying process), giving its user the possibility to interact with the projected (created) objects. There could be no effective virtual reality projection (so no VR porn movies) without the occurrence called the immersion.
Immersion
Immersion is not just the word that we and other VR porn makers do like to overuse, but also a sophisticated process taking place inside of your brain. Simply speaking, it is a perception of being physically present in a non-physical world - in other words, it is a method of tricking your brain to believe that you are inside the virtual reality environment (or the VR porn video), while you are still at your home and simply wearing one of the VR headsets. It wouldn't be possible without the sensory feedback, which is...
Sensory feedback
Group of incentives experienced by your senses while being inside of the virtual reality (and VR porn movies). These senses include vision (visual), hearing (aural), touch (haptic), and more - if you read our tech blogs from time to time, you should already know that scientists are already working on smelling or even tasting things in virtual reality. All sensory feedback is achieved with use of sophisticated (more or less) hardware that is capable of processing such stimulus to your senses. It would not make any sense if not the...
Interactivity
Which is the last but possibly the most important element of this puzzle. With no interactivity, sensory feedback would have been meaningless, thus the immersion ruined and the entire virtual reality obsolete. After all, the whole idea of you looking around the room and watching your favorite VR porn star from every angle is one of the reasons why you chose VR porn videos over the regular ones - isn't it?
Now when we are done with the elements, let's split the virtual reality into types to proceed with the explanation.
Types of virtual reality (and VR porn videos)
There are three virtual reality types worth mentioning:
Non-immersive simulations
This one is the most familiar to most of our users, since every basic VR porn video (with just a VR headset) could be classified as one of them. Of course the "non-immersive" adjective doesn't mean that there is no immersion in those - no, they are simply the least immersive when compared to the others, but still way more lifelike than regular 2d porn. Non-immersive simulations are those which do not require any other pieces of machinery and stimulate only the basic senses (like hearing and vision), giving you an opportunity to "be" inside of the virtual reality simulation - yet with limited interactivity.
Semi-immersive simulations
Get yourself one of the fleshlights available in our shop and you will easily transform our VR porn movies into semi-immersive simulations. These virtual reality experiences are richer versions of their aforementioned brothers, providing not only the experiences to your ears and eyes, but also to additional senses - like touching and playing with your dick by the use of one of those fake pussies. With such a rapid development of technology, we believe that soon we will get to obtain more and more machines supporting such level of immersion - possibly letting you touch or kiss your favorite VR porn star in the nearby future. But if you want to touch things...
Fully-immersive simulations
Then let's talk about the full package: the fully-immersive simulations. At this very moment these are very, very rare and incredibly hard to achieve with use of the available technology. Being inside of the fully-immersive simulation would mean that you could move around it, touch (and feel that you're touching) everything and if one of our sexy VR porn videos' performers would touch you inside of the VR porn fantasy, you would feel it on your body - no matter where she would do that. This is a futuristic idea that for now is only (partially) achievable in some VR games, so we can only keep on waiting for it to develop and let us all immerse in our favorite VR porn videos even more.
Everything explained? Great! So now let's understand how is that all achieved with use of the hardware supporting the virtual reality simulations.
How does it all (VR porn movies and virtual reality in general) work, then?
Everything mentioned in this article wouldn't be possible if not the sophisticated hardware that we get to use every day - simply speaking: no VR headsets, no VR porn - right? Let's try to understand how (in-general) do these visors work, shall we? First of all, let's focus on the key components of VR goggles, describing every single one of them in one or two words.
Key components of VR headsets
Sensors
Sensors work together by measuring the user’s motions and direction in space. Their ultimate goal is to achieve true six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF), which covers all the degrees of motion for an object in space. The most common sensors installed in VR headsets are:
- Magnetometer - The magnetometer tells your device which direction it is facing on the surface of the earth. It acts as a sort of compass for the device. As such, it is able to do this by measuring magnetic fields.
- Accelerometers - The accelerometer tells your device which way up it is. To do this, your device will have several accelerometers to work together measuring things like gravitational pull in relation the accelerometer measuring the device’s orientation.
- Gyroscopes - A gyroscope calculates the orientation of your device. It does this to either help your device maintain a particular orientation or make sure it properly changes orientation when it should.
Thanks to all of these, you can basically look around our VR porn movies and take a look at your favorite VR pornstar from every angle - while she sucks on your dick or jumps on your cock, for example.
Lenses
It may sound obvious, but lenses are those shiny things which are placed between your eye and pixels in front of you. Thanks to them, it is possible to angle two 2D images to mimic how each of your eyes observe the world - in effect achieving the stereoscopic effect. Thanks to them you can actually feel like you have been surrounded by our VR porn videos, so they are one of the most important elements of every VR visor.
Displays
Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) or Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLED) are two most common types of displays in VR headsets. They are just like a monitor that you are just looking at, with the only difference that they are much, much smaller and designed to give you the best possible refresh rate and resolution (also PPI - pixels per inch) to make your brain believe that you are actually inside of your favorite VR porn videos.
Processors
All these images and sounds do require a lot of computing power, so there is a lot of processing done while simulating the images in front of your face. In the original idea, the computing power was taken directly from your PC (or console), but with such a rapid development of standalone VR headsets, these are more and more often attached to the VR visor itself. Without them, the image would not compile and the whole process would not be possible - and so wouldn't your favorite VR porn movies!
Other concepts to understand how VR visors work
Field of view,
frame rate,
latency and
tracking are other definitions that are good to know.
Field of view (FoV) is the range of degrees that you are capable of seeing while watching some virtual reality porn contents (up to 3D 360°) - even though you can't see more than ~130° at once, you do need much more than that to be able to move your head around while watching VR porn fantasies.
Frame rate is the amount of frames being displayed in each second (the fps) - the higher the frequency of the frames, the better the smoothness of your images - that's why VR Bangers' VR porn videos are always in at least 60 (60 frames per second/3600 frames per minute).
Latency is the delay determined in milliseconds between your reactions and everything that happens in virtual reality - the lower the latency, the higher the interactiveness of your VR porn experience, so, in effect, the better!
And the last of those, the
tracking (like head tracking, eye tracking, motion tracking) is the group of processes letting you "steer" your VR porn sensations with use of your eye, head or gestures. Eye tracking, for example, is a key element when it comes to super-high definition VR porn videos - with such an amazing amount of pixels on the screen, tracking your eye allows to focus the CPU/GPU on the area that you are looking at, leaving the rest of the screen in the lower resolution, to make it all work smoother and faster.
Summary
We believe that in the above article everything we told you about is easy to understand and quite conveniently said - do you agree with that? Now you can finally understand this whole process behind your favorite VR porn videos - perhaps you will tell about it to your friends and make them join the growing family of VR porn freaks? VR Bangers will always have a slot for another fan!
