Recently, we spoke with visual effects studio CamasutraVR about a new AR porn app they have in the works. The app is called ‘HARdcore’ and has been developed for AR enabled Android devices. The application allows you to watch and participate in sex acts with 3D virtual avatars of popular pornstars in the real-world. We tried out the demo where we got the chance to fully experience being in the company of well-known adult star Casey Calvert as she gets pounded in various locations around the room in nothing but a set of studded high heels.

How Does It Work?

Like many augmented reality apps, HARdcore asks users to pick a point in the surrounding area where they’d like the virtual objects to appear. Your smartphone will then begin to scan for flat surfaces. You’ll wait a few seconds before AR porn then appears in full action. The app commences with Casey on her knees sucking off male pornstar Donny Sins.

You can relocate the positioning and scale the avatars by simply holding and dragging. Pinching and turning will also rotate the virtual pornstars 360 degrees so you can admire from every angle without having to move. It takes just seconds to go from watching a life-sized voyeur scene from across the other side of the room, to having a miniature version being carried on the coffee table in front of you. Another key point it is if you put your phone down, the app remembers the area that was scanned. Once you lift your phone back up again, the app will begin re-tracking and carry on the show where you left off.

What Can I Do?





The HARdcore AR porn app currently comes with a total of 5 animations to choose from. Blowjob, doggy style, missionary, plus 2 separate solo performances. Of those five, each one has multiple variations of how you can experience them. For example. The doggystyle animation has 6 different pre-sets. You can watch the show from a voyeur perspective whereby you sit back and enjoy your very own personal show in the location of your choice. Another option is to remove Donny and experience POV sex with Casey Calvert as you visibly watch her butt cheeks bouncing. Or, for gay guys and women, you can remove Casey and enjoy being up close and personal with Donny’s virtual cock. You can also choose to have any one of these animations carried out on an augmented 3D table as well.

Once you have the performance set to your desired location. You can then stand up, walk around and experience 360 AR Porn in all it’s glory. Lift your smartphone up high and watch from above. Check out the detail by moving your mobile in for a closer perspective. Stand over Casey and enjoy watching her tits bounce. It really is an awesome feeling to have complete control over what body parts you see and when you see them. Porn has never before been able to offer this. Casey Calvert herself has been featuring in porn since 2012 and starred in almost 200 movies including various TV series. When interviewed about what it’s like seeing herself as a 3D avatar, she said seeing herself from all angles in such a way is crazy and the realness is truly amazing.

Extra Features

As an added touch, you have the option to switch off AR mode. This will make the pornstars stick to your screen if you’re bored of holding your smartphone in one place. The app also comes with two types of lighting. One where you can see the virtual pornstars in full brightness while the other option offers a darker version with shadows.

You can also enjoy the satisfaction of snapping pictures and videos of Casey Calvert having sex in your bedroom. Bet you didn’t think you’d ever be saying that!

Quality

I’ve experienced augmented reality apps and games enough times now to have a fair idea of what to expect in terms of visual quality. However. I was still pleasantly surprised. CamasutraVR use a lot of combinations of 3D scanning, avatar rigging plus other AR technology in an aim to create the ultimate virtual pornstars. While inspecting closely. Important areas like pussy, nipples and ass-hole have noticeably had considerable effort made on bringing out the detail. The avatars also come with facial expressions like moaning and smiling.

The most noticeable areas that need improvement are the eyes, hair and mouth. I’d compare the graphics to the cut scenes from Lara Croft Tomb Raider / GTA on PS3. Good, but not yet reached the uncanny valley. This is probably about as good as anyone can expect from an AR app at this stage. So, everything is looking promising.

This is what CamasutraVR have to say.

“Crafting a lifelike nude character in real-time is our holy grail,” CamasutraVR explains. “This is a complicated technical endeavour that requires a tremendous amount of research. Unlike pre-rendered blockbuster movies, where it can take days to render one frame. We are trying to achieve this in real-time and at 90 frames per second!”

What’s Next?

It’s no secret that CamasutraVR have been working on turning 100’s of real-life pornstars in to 3D virtual avatars. In a recent discussion, CamasutraVR revealed to us that they plan to soon incorporate 10 of those models in to augmented reality app HARdcore.

Here is how our conversation with Sutra went down.

Who are the next 10 models ?

ANIKKA ALBRITE, JYX MAZE (shown in pic), KRISSY LYN, LILLY LANE, HONEY GOLD, A FEW MORE SURPRISES THAT WE’LL ANNOUNCE LATER. How often do you expect to make an update ? THIS APP SERVED AS A PROOF OF CONCEPT. THE NEXT VERSION OF THE APP WILL PROVIDE IN-APP PURCHASES AND CAN BE UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY. WE’LL HAVE MONTHLY UPDATES. Will the app be free, membership.. what’s the plan there ?

IT’S PART OF OUR LARGER ROLL OUT. WE’LL PROVIDE A SUBSCRIPTION BASED PLAN THAT ENCOMPASSES OUR DESKTOP AND VR CONTENT AS WELL.

Will the app only be for android ? NO WE HAVE AN IOS VERSION AS WELL, BUT IT’S DIFFICULT TO DISTRIBUTE AT THE MOMENT. SO WE’RE CURRENTLY PUTTING SOME CLOTHES ON THE MODELS.

Do you plan on entering the augmented reality headset market ? YES WE HAVE ALREADY INVESTIGATED THE MAGIC LEAP SDK AND DID SOME TESTS IN UNREAL. WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE MICROSOFT HOLOLENS AND WE’RE WAITING EAGERLY TILL MORE AFFORDABLE CONSUMER VERSIONS COME OUT.



Do you plan on incorporating speech ?

YES WE HAVE DONE THAT ALREADY AND YOU’LL BE ABLE TO HEAR THAT SOON.



Do you plan on incorporating more positions / animations. If so, what can be expected ? YES THERE WILL BE PLENTY MORE AND THEY WILL BE INTERACTIVE AS WELL. IN THE NEAR FUTURE WE’LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH FULL AR AND AI DRIVEN “REAL” GIRL/BOY FRIEND EXPERIENCES. OUR AVATARS WILL BE OWNED, TAUGHT AND OPERATED BY THE REAL OWNERS AND LEARN FROM THEIR INTERACTIONS.

What else can we expect ? A DESKTOP AND MOBILE VERSION AND A VR VERSION THAT WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL HEADSETS. What’s the general overall vision for the future of HARdcore ? FOR NOW WE LIKE PEOPLE TO HAVE FUN WITH THIS AND MAKE SEXY AND FUN LITTLE FILMS. THERE’S A RECORDING OPTION THAT ALLOWS YOU TO PUSH OUT VIA SOCIAL.
