image quality ?
Eye contact as well as empathy from the girl(s) what they’re doing to us. Watch pretty much any performance from Stacy Cruz, Alina Lopez, or Jade Nile to see what I mean.
sheldoncooper for me what's happening in the video with a basic tech setup is the most important thing.
@sheldoncooper Image quality is not that important, provided it doesn't look like it was shot on a potato. Anything beyond 4K tends to be fine provided the studio knows what it's doing in terms of tech. There are still many new 'hi-res' videos that look terrible, doing VR video well is not easy.
For me, though, immersion is directly related to how much I like the girl, and I'm always much more immersed when there's apparent physical closeness. My favourite position is cowgirl with the girl leaning down and looking directly into the camera. I don't really care how clearly I can see 'my' equipment going in and out. I'm a sucker for whispering in the ear still, though that's not as thrilling as it used to be in the old days when all this was new.
Personality is a huge thing for me. If I like a girl's personality (or her performance in the scene) then I automatically feel closer to the scene. A girl can be drop-dead gorgeous but if she comes across to me like she's going through the motions then no amount of clever VR tech will make that scene work for me. All the girls I like are engaging and 'present' in the scene. I can feel like they're looking at me and talking to me. Girls obviously looking away to take direction (or worse, when that direction is audible) is an immersion-breaker.
Lastly, I'm more or less now functionally dependent on interactive tech to get off. Adding the Handy to my repertoire was the single greatest thing I've done in years. That increases immersion massively, and getting an effective way to go hands-free would double that. Despite SLR having by far the greatest collection of scripts, it's still a long way from my dream of having everything scripted.
BungaBunga Thanks It's a well rounded answer. l ve always planed to get a handy. Can it perfectly synchronize with the movie? btw FOV maybe another factor , the large fov that can match the human eyes could provide the realest experience.
I’m going to add another ingredient that goes with my initial answer of eye contact and meaningful connection. The things she says and the noises she makes. Fake moaning and phone-it-in dirty talk stands out most of the time — Gianna Dior is amazing to look at, but I have to put the volume down on her scenes as it’s so seldom believable when she speaks. Dirty talk itself is a matter of preference (I prefer less profanity to be honest) but either way it has to sound like she means it. Likewise loud howling moaning and Harry Met Sally style fake orgasms instantly take me out of the moment. Soft cries of genuine pleasure (which usually accompanies convincing eye contact and facial expression) is what will get me exploding inside out and laying back in my bed reeling, wondering wtf just happened!! Such scenes and performers are few and far between, but man when they happen…. Like getting struck by lightning
sheldoncooper FOV and image quality. The more of either is better.
100% with you on the paragraph about cowgirl!
BungaBunga cowgirl with the girl leaning down and looking directly into the camera. I don't really care how clearly I can see 'my' equipment going in and out.
Samesies!
The cowgirl with girl leaning forward over you would, I think also have best results of the lens is pointed towards the girl's eyes
Extends into close-up missionary for me too. Eyelevel that doesn't need looking up or down. The distance is hard to say as it will vary greatly between lenses.
For me, the point of VR is to make it as real as possible, not "Are all body parts on display?"
Main thing is how it looks, not necessarily perfect 8k clarity but does it look like the girl is really there in front of you and you’re having sex with her. Is she the right distance from eye level and does she look life size. Totally throws me out if the girl looks 7ft tall or it feels like your eyes are on your nipples.
Apart from that, I like the girl to talk to me a lot, whisper in your ear, look you in the eye, especially in face to face positions. I don’t need the girl to be constantly twisting her body around and kneeling up in doggy style to make eye contact. It needs to be there though for missionary and cowgirl and when she’s seducing you at the beginning. Doesn’t need to be unnatural though, she can look down at your dick and stuff from time to time.

I disagree. There is a noticable difference between 4k and 5k and the current leaders in picture quality. Maybe you need to upgrade your tech in order to notice it.
Having the male character look somewhat like me helps so I definitely prefer the white male talents to be used. I still like some scenes that he looks nothing like me but definitely feels less immersive.
The good eye contact and talking to me saying stuff like "do you like that, good" "do you like these, yeah I knew you would" these kinds things really make it feel like your part of the scene.
Higher resolution definitely helps too. 5k is the lowest I usually watch there is few scenes that are nearly 5k that I still watch but mostly I have stopped watching 4k content because the blurry effect is definitely a immersion breaker. And I would obviously prefer it if every scene could be shot in 8k but it's okay I still enjoy a lot of the 5k content very much.
The scene that I felt the most immersion from was this one by Katarina Hartlova her acting just really makes it feel like you are there. It's one of the few 4k scenes that's definitely still worth watching and it looks about the same as 5k.
albertleder FOV and image quality. The more of either is better.
There's a lot of very good answers in here, and just from a technical standpoint I have to agree with @albertleder. Especially when it comes to FOV. Been using a Pimax 8K X for maybe 8 or so months at this point, and I genuinely don't think I would ever go to another non-ultrawide FOV headset. It makes such an enormous difference imho when nearly your whole vision is taken up by the scene
Leading factor of immersion: Proximity.
The only real difference between 2D and 3D porn is that in 3D you can create the illusion that the girl is right there on you. Adding close whispers, kissing, and other ASMR-like touches gives even more immersion.
If the girl is far away, you may as well be watching 2D. That's what these amateur studios don't get.
LordCrash Not suggesting that higher-res stuff, produced well, doesn't look better. It does. But for me, plenty of older videos in 4K look good enough that it doesn't detract from my immersion. Whereas some of the early stuff, and plenty of even recent stuff from some studios, looks bad enough that it detracts from my experience. I have Quest 2 so I can play most high-res content natively.
As some have pointed already:
BungaBunga But for me, plenty of older videos in 4K look good enough that it doesn't detract from my immersion.
That's super interesting. I definitely find that if it's a model that I'm super into that I'm willing to put up with much poorer of picture quality, but in general unless I'm really into the specific model or scene, I have a very tough time with probably 98% of the 4k era of scenes. Even a lot of "early-5k" is pretty rough on my eyes, from like pre-2020 maybe.
Really does just come down to how we each perceive things I suppose.
still have a Q1
that seems to be the daily quest...will I find a NEW clip to be immersed in? or NEED to use a go-to clip because the 20 new clips missed the frigging boat completely
love it when I find one...sometimes it only takes 20-30seconds of something good...that you can go back to over and over.
proximity/closeness is probably number 1 (i won't even spend 1min on a clip if I skip ahead and they have not gotten close enough)
natural nail guy...so when I see them in focus and clear...maybe even some finger/skin prints/arrector pili, I feel I'm right there with her
eye contact and even talking to you can be pretty awesome and engaging...done right, it's GO-TIME
I've seen blurry shit production...motion sickness stuff, but COOL eye contact/talking was enough to get it done...two days in a row.
again, just need to be DECENT for 20-30 seconds...OF WHICH these things can be planned.
When I think of Immersive VR Porn, I think of the best VR porn of all time, or that I've ever seen so far. Really that's what it is because the whole goal of VR porn is to make something that feels very real and is sort of a treat to experience. It's almost like wow, it feels like you're really there or this feels like it could be real. I think what this thread needs is some example videos as nobody really knows what someone means by eye contact. Every VR video has eye contact at some point. So I think you have to be more specific and mention which videos in particular did it the best for you so others can go check them out. I know it's all personal preference, but still share the video names if you can. Eye contact isn't as big of a factor for me. For me, I am more into the setup/intro really pulling me in and making me feel like I am really experiencing it or am there.
Some examples of the most immersive vr porn that come to mind are:
Lena Reif - DDFNetwork Fucking Draculas Daughter (POVR)
The scene opens with a girl with no vampire teeth in a very gothic outfit. She gives you looks like she's hiding something or has a secret to reveal. She shows you an old map of Transylvania, it's on some old parchment paper. It looks like it could be a real map, it's well done. Her outfit is well done. The intro is sort of eerie and she teases a bit. From there you see a puff of smoke as she shifts into a vampire and has vampire teeth. So far this is one of the best vampire/roleplay type VR scenes I have seen and recommend checking it out. I thought it was really immersive if you take your time and enjoy the intro.
Mia Malkova - Fidelio I (NaughtyAmericaVR)
This is one of their most favorited/most liked VR videos on their entire site. It's an old VR video from 2016 so the quality is a bit more grainy. It was so popular that they made a Fidelio II and III, and they give nods to the whole thing in other VR videos where the girls will say they just got back from a Fidelio party. Basically it's a Stanley Kubrick Eyes Wide Shut type parody where you receive a note with a password written on it and you go to a large mansion. A butler opens the door asking for the password and you enter and are greeted by masked women everywhere. It's very well done and one of the best VR porn scenes I think that has been done as far as immersion goes. The way Mia Malkova is introduced is you walk to the bottom of a long staircase, masked women walk out single file and line up on the sides of the stair case and Mia Malkova then stands at the top of the staircase looking down at you and walks down the stairs to greet you. It's very cinematic and well done. It really could be redone to modern standards but I'd say it's a must see scene just to feel the immersion.
Peta Jensen - American Daydreams (NaughtyAmericaVR)
This is also one of the most liked/favorited videos of all time on NaughtyAmericaVR. It's an old VR scene from 2016 so it's also a bit grainy. They recently remastered it. To be honest I'm not even that attracted to Peta but I checked it out because I was curious why it was so popular. The scene opens with you sitting outside in the sand watching the tide roll in. The sound of the tide, the time of the day, seeing Peta out in the water and walking towards you. It was shot slow and peacefully that it really feels like you are out there. You are basically sitting out there listening to the tide roll in and out and they captured really good audio of it. It's such a relaxing and nice immersive intro that you're like wow, this is really nice. I think this is another great example of a scene that could be redone with modern standards and it would be really popular.
Some scenes on SLR that I thought were immersive...
Jia Lissa - Long Time No See (SLR)
The intro of hanging out with friends outside, seeing them smiling and happy to see one another in normal everyday clothes on the streets. Riding up in an elevator. Playing around in the apartment and watching her act silly. It felt very real and immersive and builds up attraction for her. It's one of the most favorited videos on SLR and I think it's because of the immersive intro that feels very real. The locations are all familiar. Who hasn't been outside with friends, or road up an elevator full of people and saw an attractive girl in the elevator with you. Or hanged out with a group of friends and saw one of the girls acting really cute that you were attracted to.
Whitney Wright, Vanna Bardot, Emily Willis, Ana Foxxx - VRBangers Stolen The American Whore Story 1984 (SLR)
The VR scene starts with you driving down the road and coming across a group of girls stranded when their car broke down. You're a mute so your daughter Whitney talks for you to them. You all go back to your house in the woods and there is junk outside the house everywhere so it feels very odd. Everything about the intro gives you a horror vibe. Without ruining too much, it's a very immersive intro worth checking out. There are two versions, the regular and the director's cut. Try to watch the longer version with the full intro, which should be the director's cut.
Reese Robbins - Truth or Dare with Stepsister (SLR)
Reese is really cute and plays truth or dare with you in different locations. The conversation and locations make it feel really immersive and real and build up attraction for her. The intros really feel like you're hanging out with her and each time it leads to a little more which is very similar to how life is. I also really like the style of changing real world locations and multiple setups and scenes, multiple outfits, times, etc. Overall I really like seeing new releases from this studio, and think this is probably their best video so far.
