It was not surprising that adult content and games would have been the first two leverage of virtual reality, as they have also been of the web and before of personal computers also.

But while virtual reality video games are gradually beginning to get traction, the adult virtual reality industry met unexpected problems.

Hot virtual reality is embarrassing

So far adult content fruition was typically passive and there have been few innovations from the start of the first strip-tease shows in the 15th century until today.

In the end take a look at images of naked women (and men), engaged in some loving activities, through a site like LiveJasmin, or live behind a window in a peep-show, doesn’t really matter.

This way the consumers of this type of content have gotten used to looking, passively, not to be somehow filmed, being part of the scene. Since this situation, that instead is at the base of the idea of a “spicy” virtual reality, it ends up embarrassing the spectator.

Rather the adopted model seems more similar to that of swingers clubs, or of some escort services, which however they are very different from the classical industry of the contents for adults and its comforting model of anonymous fruition.

When the immersion doesn’t work

Then there is another problem: in virtual reality, shootings to “dip” in the scene the shooting is in first-person, but when you watch an adult movie also by observing the scene you can see your body, which with VR displays on is not visible.

That’s because while your main senses, sight, and hearing, are teleported to a virtual world, the rest of your body is still in reality, standing up or sitting on a chair.

You know, this time technology has exceeded users to whom it was intended to enjoy the content it can produce.

Or maybe the problem is that there has not been enough investments to develop new shooting and storytelling techniques, trying to adopt a style that implied a passive vision to a situation that proposes active fruition. However, something isn’t right.
