The porn with augmented reality: the extreme frontier of Oculus Rift – The Messenger

After the Internet, the porn industry could have a new trick up its sleeve: the viewers to augmented reality, already experienced in video games, which allow an “immersive”.

Experiments in this direction have already been made with Google Glass, the project is currently on stand-by. They are instead to flood the market, some are already on the market, a number of devices in which the viewer the images is no longer just a passive spectator but is catapulted into action. As the Oculus Rift, viewers bought by Facebook in 2014 to $ 2 billion. To open the content in the red light is just Palmer Luckey, one of the leading inventors of Oculus. “We do not control the software that can run on the platform. And this is a big deal, “he said a few days ago – as reported by Variety – the entrepreneur during the” Silicon Valley Virtual Reality Conference “about the app with pornographic content created for the viewer.

At the moment there is no trace of such a prohibition contained in the “terms of service and use” of the device and its applications. A somewhat schizophrenic behavior against policy of “mother house” Facebook instead more chaste. The Oculus Rift, are currently on the market, have had a good response from developers who have used them. After wearing them you are catapulted into a scene 360 ​​degrees. You can move your head, explore their surroundings, have the close-up images, you feel so good noise by turning to find out who created them. In short, the viewer is in the middle of the action and becomes the protagonist in practice.

“Virtual reality will transform the video games, the film industry, communication and more,” says Oculus on his blog where you can see images of what will be the final design of the device, which should be on the market in early 2016. At the time the price set for developers is around $ 350, so the reach of a large enough audience. The porn had already been tested by the developers of the applications of Google Glass, but in this case the Mountain View company had put two poles: no to facial recognition and “zero tolerance” for adult content. Then the Glass were set aside and so the experiments red light.

Instead, as expected, these experiments are coming back into favor with viewers in augmented reality. In addition to the Oculus, many big technology they are launching this kind of devices, from HTC to Sony. And there are also the Gear VR Samsung, which have already been made test red light with a lot of volunteers who have provided to describe the experience. The test was made by the collective Media Complex which used the film called “POV”, short for “Point of View”, a category of films hard turns as if you were watching the scene from the eyes of the protagonist. The results are on a video posted on YouTube and are quite hilarious.
