Virtual reality porn is just foreplay: Why augmented reality is the future of adult entertainment
Mainstream apps, like Pokémon Go and Snapchat, are already showing consumers’ appetite for augmented reality experiences. Ian Paul, CIO of San Diego-based adult film studio Naughty America, thinks they’re setting the stage for AR porn.
“AR porn will probably be available on your cell phone first, putting performers into your environment much like we’ve seen with Pokémon,” he said. “Eventually, the idea would be to have a performer actually jump in bed with you, but we are a ways from that right now.”
The girlfriend experience
When Lee began producing VR experiences for HoloFilm, she expected the kind of hardcore productions that are popular in traditional film to do best. She was surprised to learn that virtual reality drives a different market. The most popular VR films her company makes provide what’s called “the girlfriend experience.” The idea is to create a more intimate and realistic scene than you typically see in porn.
“I’d say, on a case-by-case basis, the most popular productions are those where the performer really knows how to make love to the camera,” said Glider. “It’s all about the eye contact with VR, making the connection, and that starts with the eyes.”
