Somone at SLR needs to partner up with the Jack and Jill studio - get yourselves a studio in Florida , pay J+J a finders fee and cast all the guests they bring onto their channel but in a more produced, well lit, and potentially POV format. The quality of girls they have is really breathtaking and many of them seem exclusive to that one studio (Noire, Lily Kawaii, etc)

[deleted] How their 8k scenes look like?
[deleted]
sheldoncooper I’d say their current scenes image quality is on par with SLR and CzechVR. Maybe they're using the same camera. I just tend to prefer SLR because they use the fisheye lens to give that 190° angle instead of 180°, which is better for close-ups.
But upgrading their camera to 8k is just one thing. Their recent and upcoming casting lineup is crazy, and remastering their best 5k scenes with some retired models is another great move.
[deleted] They didn't upgrade their camera. All they did was start upscaling to 8K.
[deleted]
Hairsational How did you know? They stated in their forum that these scenes are natively shot in 8K. Are you saying they're lying?
- Edited
[deleted] Because I know what camera their 7K scenes were shot with and the scale and color characteristics of their supposed native 8K scenes is unchanged from that*.
When the producers change camera the scale changes slightly because the newer camera usually doesn't have identical inter-lens distance to the old one. This is especially relevant between the camera they are upgrading from and the limited 8K camera options available.
Similarly, camera models have different sensors and different image processing and that results in the color characteristics of the captured image varying between the models. Sites never correct for this perfectly and I'm yet to see any site upgrade camera without a noticable shift in colors.
Additionally, they are now upscaling older scenes to 8K with some new method that admittedly looks a lot better than whatever method they were using for upscaling their 7K previously. Coincidence that they happen to start claiming scenes are natively shoot in 8K the very moment they introduce this new upscaling workflow? Nope.
Beyond all that, why wouldn't they tell porkies about this when it's so easy to convince customers who really don't know any better? I bet they could do regular, non-AI upscaling of 5K to 8K and people would still be like "wow 8k! the image is so crisp!" because of the placebo effect.
* It's possible that some of their lesser used production teams, e.g. their Spain-based team, are shooting in native 8K. Their main US-based team is not shooting in 8K.
[deleted] I saw that too. There were some complaints after the first 8K scene, to which they replied that it was shot in native 8K with an entirely different workflow that still needed some optimization.

SchnuppiLilac NA 3D - Does anyone know what this is?
In case anyone else was curious:
https://www.naughtyamerica.com/read/free-immersive-3d-video-for-oculus-nsfw
There are two versions, either for Quest and AVP. In a nutshell, it's a 4K 2D video from 2023 transformed into a spatial video. It required a few simple adjustments to make it look right in HS. I only checked it out briefly but i thought the result looked pretty good.
@Vrsumo2017 aka We need more...: I think you should check it out
SchnuppiLilac Thank for the link, could be a nice way to see some retired stars.
SchnuppiLilac gonna check this out later. Any chance you could let me know what adjustments in HS you made for improvement? Still not use to all the settings there.
Cbomb333 I used the Quest version (mp4) and had to adjust the aspect ratio (in basic video settings), maybe also projection and stereo but not sure anymore. That was it. In DeoVR it played fine, just had to zoom in.
SchnuppiLilac Awesome, thanks for the screenshot. I'll give it a go tonight. Much appreciated!

This is just some random pic I found with Google. The idea was just to make it easier to find the settings I was talking about.
SchnuppiLilac thanks for clarifying. I understand

SchnuppiLilac I ended up using deovr. It was interesting but not something I would watch frequently. I definetly wouldn't pay the money NA is charging for it. Think it's 30 per month or extra 10 if you have a sub already. It should be free with a standard sub considering VR scenes are included already. Not consumer friendly. Eventually I'd like to try it with one of their pov scenes but I wasn't blown off my feet. Thanks for the share regardless.
KMPVR leavingSLR ?
I got a message about one of them saying "Scenes Hikari Sakuraba – Ass Cosplay with Hikari Sakuraba leaving SLR Premium on September 18. Secure your favorites now with pay-per-video option"
Thats a bummer :-(

SchnuppiLilac In case anyone else was curious:
I was until the file was 12g, SMH I don't even have that much on my headset or phone
Going to need make some room before downloading it.
It's not streamable? Slr not able to upload it to their 2d section? It's a free file.
Vrsumo2017 It's actually two video files in that zip file. The one for Quest is 5 GB, the one for AVP is a bit bigger. If you don't have 5 GB of free space on your headset, you should indeed clean up. But surprised that it seems you never downloaded a VR video and played it wireless from a PC or something. You are the wet dream of SLR senior management. I am starting to hate you!! Just kidding.

SchnuppiLilac I'm looking for 3d, spatial? The 5g looks more 3d the 7 gig.
Looks good!!
but kinda makes me mad cuz I don't think I saw one bikini car wash in vr this summer
2d porn has all the fun
Did yall see the meta connection?
Idk bro but I wasn't to impressed with the presentation, I might have to watch the full presentation in full, but crowd seem meh at times, like some parts mark would say thIs gadget will have THIS! Or we're working with Microsoft! and the crowd had no reaction , and mark seem like he was expecting a reaction to some of his reveals but got silence.
And who the hell told Mark he needed switch up his look, now he 420 hippy mark? I think I like AI mark better
We're yall impressed with anything? What yall think? Anyone?
Vrsumo2017 Dude dressing like a rapper now after wearing his grey tshirt and jeans uniform for like 15 years. Trying to convince us that he is human. Reminds me of
The Quest 3S is almost not worth mentioning. Crazy to think it took them 12 months to reskin a Quest 2.
Hairsational Dude dressing like a rapper
Is that what rappers look like these days
wth lol
Vrsumo2017 We're yall impressed with anything?
Damn they made a Lil movie with only usung the ray bands, that was pretty cool!
Marks said in the future you can talk to holograms and they'll be sitting on your couch next you.
I'm just like... Mark bro! Lol we literally have hotties on our laps, the future is here bro!
The Orion glasses look good
The q3s, mark said everything is better on qs3 compared to q3 but cheaper price, I'm curious If pt looks better
I'd grab one for the price just for the hell of if
Presentation was pretty good, some parts kinda awkward, sometimes Mark would mention something and kinda waited for a crowd reaction but didn't get it, one reviewer said the same thing. Said something was kinda awkward with Mark.
Over all the tech looks awesome though
Still didn't see any sex appeal
Aw man! Check that out!
Vrsumo2017 mark said everything is better on qs3 compared to q3 but cheaper price,
I don't believe he said that, he just made you believe that. He said it's just as good, avoiding all the points where it's a Q2 (lenses, display etc.). They should have called it Q2S. It's overpriced, considering that entry level Q3 is now only $130 more. I don't know how PT looks but how should it be better than Q3?
SchnuppiLilac Yeah the direct quote from Zuck is:
"Quest 3 is the best family of mixed reality devices out there. Period."
He didn't say anything about the Q3S being better than the Q3. Display and lenses are identical to the Q2 and FOV is the same too.
Hairsational He didn't say anything about the Q3S being better than the Q3.
He did bro.
Hairsational He didn't say anything about the Q3S being better than the Q3. Display and lenses are identical to the Q2 and FOV is the same too.
He said it, and when he did I was kinda confused, kinda angry too if the pt does look better then q3
Vrsumo2017 Nope. He said the Q3S software is better today than the Q3 was at launch. Both Q3 and Q3S are running the same software today so the Q3S isn't any better than the Q3 in terms of software.
Vrsumo2017 He said it, and when he did I was kinda confused, kinda angry too if the pt does look better then q3
That's what he said. I re-listened, and he did mention that many of those improvements will flow over to the Quest 3, making it even better. Bottom line, the "Quest 3 family" is the best... according to him.However, the line he dropped about q3s being better than the Quest 3 confused me. It makes me curious about the pt, will it look better? We shall see
Vrsumo2017 As @Hairsational indicated: Z said the software improvements that happened over the last year make Q2S now effectively better than Q3 was on launch date in 2023, but all the improvements 'have flown through to the Q3 too to make it even better'. He didn't explain 'even better' than what, Q2S or Q3 in 2023.
No mention of better cameras. OS is the same, CPU is the same, display and lenses are worse. So my (step)fatherly advice to you is: don't buy it just out of hope for better looking PT.
I had pulled my Q2 out of storage the other day to try something. Being used to Q3, it felt like such a tremendous step back, especially the Fresnel lenses.

I think your 'hopefully right', the big downgrade for me is the missing 3.5mm headphone socket, good sound is so important and immersive.
Anyway after getting scammed on ebay, i've taken the plunge again and bought a Quest 3 128gb from Amazon as Meta a going to discontinue the 128gb version making the cheapest Q3 512gb £499, so decided to get in early before they sell out.
Hopefully it's the right choice and the lenses are better as the older Frensel lenses have such a small sweet spot.
Looking forward to seeing the the passthrough in colour and better resolution.
Silly-Sausage missing 3.5mm headphone socket
There are USB-C adapters for headphones or dual ones for additional charging that might work. Bluetooth headphones should also be an option.
I think you made the right choice for watching porn. When I switched from Q2 to Q3, I wasn't overly excited at first. I had read a lot of forum posts about videos not looking better and screen door effects and I saw all that as well when I put it on for the first time but that changed from the 2nd or 3rd time I used it. When I go back to Q2 now, the overall experience is (subjectively) so much worse than Q3. And even if you are not into PT videos, I find being able to safely move around in a room with the headset on very convenient; the other day with Q2 I felt almost blind.
