rolly How can a tech become better if nobody is trying to improve it and use it?
It's a hardware not a software or even filming issue right now. Shooting videos before a greenscreen is no innovation, has been done 20 years ago already. It's pretty funny that people think shooting before a greenscreen would somehow improve passthrough. Well, it doesn't. So no, these scenes are not shot for innovation, it's purely a business decision in the here and now. Quite a few people seem to like even the most crappy passthrough experience and so they shoot this stuff. It's very much not even half-decently working gimmicky stuff and far from a final product.
Early VR porn was working great once it hit the market with the bigger studios. Resolution was of course a lot worse than today but it worked pretty well anyway. Not even remotely comparable to the passthrough situation right now.
rolly People need to realize that this will get better and better the more they create and experience with.
No. It will only get better if there are headsets on mass market that offer a really good passthrough experience. These headsets don't exist and won't exist in the foreseeable future. SLR can actually do nothing about that.
rolly SLR releases so much original content lately (almost every day you have a new SLR Originals video)
There are only 2-3 traditional American VR scenes a week and only 1-2 in the Nash-style. That's not almost every day.
Would be fair if we actually knew how much traditional VR scenes they plan to release and where they plan to invest our money into. All they say is "more scenes" but there isn't that much gain left for Nash-style VR greatness as soon as you subtract the passthrough stuff, the censored JAV stuff and they still sub-par European scenes (and even the warehouse scenes).
And the overall number is pretty pointless anyway if you only or primarily wait for your favorite pornstars. If your favorite pornstar or the girl you're looking forward to only shoots such a scene there is of course disappointment, shouldn't come as a suprise. You know, they had her booked, they had her on set, they filmed her scene and yet all you get is a crappy greenscreen scene...
rolly It can be considered a niche
It's not a niche, it's actually something entirely else. It's like saying that VR porn was a niche of traditional 2d porn which is kind of mute. Passthrough is AR or MR but not VR.
