LordCrash That patronizing "We know it better than you, you simply have not come to terms about how amazing this is but you will some day in the future" attitude is pretty irritating though

Pretty sure I never said that or anything condescending, so sorry if it read like that. But the rest is good feedback, even if I personally disagree with portions of it, so thanks nevertheless.

rerun119 Also good feedback, so it's appreciated. I do want to point out though that we've also increased the release frequency every week, so I don't necessarily agree with the idea that we're alienating any our members since we're not only providing more variety with things like Passthrough releases that a lot of folks do enjoy, but we're also releasing more often every single week. But I understand what you're saying.

        Sandi_SLR @justsomedude101 That's fine, but i'd actually prefer the version where i can see the greenscreen room instead of the key'd in green over the greenscreen room. At least then I can have a sense of space in the environment. like at the very least if you're gonna use a greenscreen room let us see it if we have to deal with greenscreen vids. All i'm asking now is that that vid that was released today is rereleased or given a second download option for the version without the keying/mask/whatever on and let me see the room, that will at least stop it from being a flat green 2d shape in front of my eyes.

        In fact I really don't think changing the color would help much as you both have talked about, that doesn't necessarily help the glaring issue that with the key the color is now a 2d flat surface in front of your eyes. I think the real answer is to BOTH give an option for seeing the room AND changing the color, and if you can only do one do the one where you can see the room. I tried the scene again a few minutes ago and I started getting sick because your flat green gives no point of reference to the space around me, seeing the actual green room with the markers would fix that. I can pretend i'm a pornstar filming on set or something if i have to.

          unwatchable without passthrough.

          unwatchable with the suckass passthrough on the quest 2.

          and for the handful of people who own a headset with decent resolution color passthrough its probably still unwatchable, thanks to the amount of green spill. its like youre fucking someone from shrek.

          Idea: You could put a CGI background or a custom room background instead of the original green screen from the video. 😉
          Could be awesome to have a few backgrounds + the green screen version for passthrough and then be able to select the version you want to watch.

            I get it that there are more releases therefore we’re not losing content quantity to these experiments, but it is pretty disappointing when anticipated quality talent finally get shot, but in unwatchable scenes. Maybe shoot the less anticipated performers in these? I wouldn’t be sad at all if this pass-through stuff died on the vine though, and I really hope enough people start to speak out often enough that this happens. I have zero interest banging hotties in my shitty bedroom - it’s semi-interesting for about 30 seconds. If I was well off enough to have a view in real life that matched the quality of the girl(s), I probably wouldn’t be fucking them in VR, yes? I far prefer the gorgeous mansions with windows looking out to beautiful views that you guys used to put out on a regular basis.

            The smallest thing that kills the immersion and then what’s the point? — VR porn is supposed to transport you into believable fantasy. Experiment is good to a point, but please don’t get so unfocused that you kill the competitive advantage SLR has gained. Hot girls, lots of them and often, in incredible settings. I’d much rather pay for two good quality scenes per week, than four sub-par warehouse set pieces and unwatchable experiment that is interesting to easily less than 20% of the subscriber base.

            rolly there are studios that used to do this, hobbit caves, and flying carpets, and all sorts of other nonsense. It always looks fake as fuck and kills immersion. This stuff just isn’t ready for prime time and maybe never should be.

                argyle43 I think it would still be better than watching a green screen. Else you are just left with the "option" of not watching if you don't have a good device for passthrough or if you don't like passthrough.
                They need to find a way so the videos can be used in both passthrough with a green screen and "normal" with a background. These videos will still be made and there will be even more of them in the future once more people will have a device that has a good passthrough. We just need to find a way that can benefit everyone.

                    rolly well I’m sorry but AR sex blows. It doesn’t hold a candle to well produced VR. The sooner people see that and say so, the better.

                      justsomedude101 Sorry you aren't a fan of the Passthrough, and maybe some day with a newer or future headset you'll find one you like. But just to be clear I don't think there is any plan whatsoever to stop producing this type of content. It's pushing the medium forward and the Passthrough releases thus far have been hugely popular and in large part very well-received.

                      I can assure you that I will never use it, even if I have a full color crystal clear passthrough... which I will have next month with PS VR2.

                      Personally, putting a pornstar in my bedroom or living room breaks my immersion, because I know that's not true. And the blending between video and background is never going to be perfect, you always notice glitches and imperfections in the blending of both layers that break immersion.

                      Passthrough is an immersion breaking machine.

                      Passthrough forces you to position your body at the same angle as the camera, and that's often not possible, or it's uncomfortable, or it's an angle you don't like. That's why in the end it comes down to two shots: lying down or standing up. Completely limited. I watch VR seated...

                      On top of that, the passthrough makes the movies more boring and restrictive, because there are limitations on angles so that the perspective of the background is not spoiled. So you are pushing the girls further away from the camera and a lot of more varied camera shots that don't fit well with the passthrough have been eliminated.

                      Movies with passthrough are worse and duller than normal ones, all others aside....

                      If this is going to be the future of VR...count me out.

                          Natch If this is going to be the future of VR...count me out

                          And that’s the whole point. It isn’t virtual reality, it’s augmented reality and I have no desire to augment my reality when it comes to sex. Gaming, business, sure, but sex? Fuck no. Take me to the Bahamas or to a tastefully furnished villa in a sunny place, but get me the fuck out of my dreary bedroom. I seriously doubt these AR experiments are getting the likes and views that Nashterpiece scenes get. I mean c’mon.

                            sletje

                            Just replace the background???? Problem solved....

                            yea, that puke green halo around her… sho shexshy!! 🤦‍♂️

                            But let’s make it even stupider and stick her in front of a postcard of the Bahamas. Then I can enjoy the 2D paradise background, water that doesn’t move, and the puke green halo. That should make it more immersive.

                            Or maybe this VR site goes back to focusing on its core competency: quality VR.

                            And just look at the expression on Katrina’s face. She doesn’t much look like a believer in this gimmick either 😆

                                IDK man, Im sure its possible. I've seen green screen videos being made into normal vr videos. If i remember correcrtly whorecraftvr or something lol

                                  argyle43 She doesn’t much look like a believer in this gimmick either

                                  I can only imagine how cool it is to fuck in front of the camera in crappy warehouses before huge green screens and no set whatsover. Splendid experience, I guess. Who wouldn't want to do sexy things in such an environment?

                                  But I think there's still improvement possible for the "really real" passthrough experience in our own homes since the girls don't need to wear sexy lingerie or make-up etc. Give us the real-life experience with rather mediocre looking girls in cheap clothes and bad or no make-up at all who we can fuck in our crappy flats just like we're used to do in real life...

                                  /irony off

                                    sletje If i remember correcrtly whorecraftvr or something lol

                                    True. They look terrible though. 💩

                                    You know, in theory it would be possible to produce CGI and stuff that looks good. But for top-class CGI you need both top-class artists who probably either work for Hollywood than for Porn Valley and you need shitloads of cash.
                                    VR porn in most cases is produced on a tight budget though so that's not really feasible.

                                        sletje are you serious with this? The random splotches of green that just appear between the shards of her hair and her fingers? This is immersive? Get the fuck outta here 😆

                                        argyle43 there are studios that used to do this, hobbit caves, and flying carpets, and all sorts of other nonsense. It always looks fake as fuck and kills immersion.

                                        Whorecraft is exactly the site I referred to above. That site was a fucking travesty.

                                        For whatever reason a handful of people think this AR shit is good, but I promise you the upper part of the Pareto curve on this one do not. I fully agree with @LordCrash on this: spin off a separate AR Porn site for this garbage and go to town innovating it over there. It will not be a thing. Not for porn. Mark our words.

                                              argyle43

                                              AR/MR IS the future of porn. i can promise you that much. There will be nothing more immersive than a perfect hologram places in your own envirement in real time, with real colours, with depth maps etc. You can move around with it etc etc. Passthrough might be the first varrient where we can see what the potential could be in time. But this regular 2d porn / 180vr porn is going to get old over time. AR is the future. Change my mind

                                                  justsomedude101 Do you advertise now that you release more videos a week? Whatever that number is, do you count the green screen videos as part of that number? I bet you do. That's the point. Again why not make a different studio for this stuff? You can have it on this site, you can advertise as having a exclusive AR studio and separate this stuff.

                                                  I'm not trying to be combative. It's just that I get on today to see if any SLR videos got scripted. Maybe the "Sexual Alchemy: Sounds of Pleasure" video or some of the other ones that are in the coming soon section (that just sit there forever). But no, the new green screen one got the attention. One day after the release. I'm sure that will help the numbers on the PT videos being a hit.

                                                  Will the video from today "Raw Taboo: Unusual Trio" be scripted tomorrow? That will show where the real priorities are.

                                                      sletje AR/MR IS the future of porn. i can promise you that much.

                                                      Your opinion alone is proof enough for me that this is the future of porn and everything else will fade...

                                                      Somebody should give ZZ and Vixen a call that their business is bollocks and outdated and that men will never watch 2d porn anymore. Nobody told them yet, poor blokes...

                                                        rerun119 Again why not make a different studio for this stuff? You can have it on this site, you can advertise as having a exclusive AR studio and separate this stuff.

                                                        It would make so much sense to cut SLRO into different labels/studios with fixed release days etc, much like CzechVR is already doing it.

                                                        It would be far better for everyone if there was something like that:

                                                        • SLR Originals (high class VR porn scenes, "Nash" style , 3 scenes a week, every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday)
                                                        • SLR Experimental (VR warehouse scenes with different topics, "VRfanservice" style, 1 scene a week every Monday)
                                                        • SLR Euro (VR euro scenes, 1 scene a week, every Thursday)
                                                        • SLR Fetish (VR fetish scenes like bukkake, BDSM, watersports etc, 1 scene a week, every Saturday)
                                                        • SLR Passthrough (AR scenes with greenscreen, 1 scene a week, every Tuesday)

                                                        So everybody would know when they can expect new scenes they might like and nothing would be cannibalized...
