Adult entertainment has consistently been at the cutting edge of technology with virtual reality porn being the perfect example. Anybody with a VR headset could strap-in and be transported in to another world. A 3D paradise where we can experience our desires with some of the most gorgeous pornstars the industry has to offer. With the explosion of VR in adult film, its hard to think how it can get any better, or what's next for porn.

The downfall of VR porn is it doesn’t offer an entirely realistic experience. Your body is not your own which means when you move your body, nothing happens. You are limited to the structure of the scene and you are only in control of which direction you choose to look.

Augmented reality (AR) porn may have a better solution for adult experiences. Rather than a pre-constructed scene, the technology uses holograms from 3D body scans and runs in real-time. What this means is the avatars will appear in 3-dimensional format and we can walk around them, move up close and see the performance from the position of our choice. AR porn works by overlaying a virtual object on the screen of our smartphone or AR / mixed reality headset such as Microsoft Hololens. Using the camera, the augmented reality technology is then able to scan the area of our real-world environment. Once it has recognized flat surfaces, we can then position an augmented reality porn scene in the location of our choice. The scene remains fixed to that location and can be repositioned, scaled, rotated etc. This is something porn has never been able to offer could completely revolutionize the industry.

AR porn pioneers ARPornTube.com (NSFW) say:

“Augmented reality porn is the future of adult entertainment. AR technology brings an entire new dimension to how we experience porn. Users will be capable of making their own erotic 3D AR sex videos at home. For adults, it’s obviously huge and changes the game completely.”

AR porn is relatively new having only started hitting headlines in early 2018, however there is already a variety of AR porn sites, videos apps and features out there. Some of the biggest porn producers in the industry such as Badoink and Naughty America have shown their keen interest in the technology having both released augmented reality porn content earlier this year. One of the more interesting companies is 3D Holo Girlfriend. They were one of the first sites to deliver AR porn experiences. The company includes artificially intelligent features that make their female virtual holograms more realistic and interactive.

It seems like their is a bright future for augmented reality in the porn industry. It solves many of the problems that typical porn and virtual reality porn cannot offer. AR would seemingly offer a stronger sense of realism, more control and the ability to create our fantasies in the comfort of our own surroundings. While AR technology is still finding some ground, it will be some time before AR becomes a common feature of adult entertainment. However, the potential of the technology suggests that when it does, it could well be the holy grail of porn.
