With preinstalled SLR app and making things work with one click
Should we start selling ultimate VR package: Branded Pico4+Handy+SLR sub
- Edited
is it really that hard to install an app though? maybe its easier to just post a guide on what equipment and apps are needed and how to get set up
i think most people would prefer not to have slr logos plastered all over their headset too.
spacepirate majority are not familiar with it

Personally, I like the idea!
I just separately purchased a Pico 4 and Handy, and would have welcomed such a bundle it if offers me a significant discount, meaning a total price cheaper to the best offers available when purchasing individually.
For instance, I live in Germany and the Pico 4 can often be found for roughly €380-390 (incl. VAT). Purchasing a Handy through the official store also usually offers a 7 to 10% discount, with even stronger discounts available when purchased with other retailers.
Yet, I can also imagine that a "complete bundle" might simply be too expensive for new first-time users to VR porn or automated sex toys like the Handy.
Probably a majority of potential customers would rather begin with a used or older VR headset to see whether the experience is something for them, and whether they feel like upgrading to an automated sex toys like the Handy.
Even myself, I started with a cheap used Oculus Go before I felt confident in spending that much money on a Pico 4 and Handy.
I think a much better option would be to offer:
1. A hardware bundle (Pico 4 + Handy) that comes with a voucher to be redeemed on SLR for 3 free videos+scripts to choose from the entire library, or alternatively a free trial month of the video+script combo. Get people excited to try your amazing content first and then offer them a nice subscription option afterwards!
2. Sell branded hardware devices (or an exclusive design/color option) that comes with free stuff or an unbeatable discount. Why? Because a Pico 4 branded by a porn company will definitely hurt the resell value, and might trigger some awkward questions if friends or family want to try out the VR headset and suddenly want to know what the SLR logo on the headset is about. Both options would want me to be compensated by an unbeatable price discount or another offer that gives me additional "value".
it might be a brand risk given Pico is owned by ByteDance/tiktok and the USA have been really aggressive towards ByteDance lately - if they get sanctioned/banned it could be disruptive to your business or even payment processors. Love the idea of it though, really great idea you have because you could take your brand all the way to adult retail stores and even have demo units in stores - you could even have custom buttons to include "marine grade" style lube friendly buttons or other adult friendly features not found in other vr headsets - it's a really difficult situation given how big VR developers like Meta are so anti porn but Pimax or Varjo might be a better fit but i'm just a consumer speculating
the first company to build a VR unit specifically for porn in partnership with somebody arguably would do really well over their competitors, that much is clear

im curious to know what advantages you think a headset build specifically for porn would have over a more general purpose headset?
btw i dont think any major headset manufacturer would be keen to partner with a porn site and have their hardware rebadged. probably the only way a porn focused vr headset would happen is for a porn company to build one themselves and im extremely skeptical that any such company could build a better headset than a major tech company.

There was or is, idk if they ever took off, my guess maybe not cuz I never saw any discussion in the forums about the headset.
Pvr was the name, they were at a avn expo few years ago.
That be a cool idea, but then yall might have to deal with costumers if there's any issues with the headset not working correctly. Then the refund request. Sounds like a headache for me lol
Lol, do vr studios still offer that free cardboard looking headset. Can't imagine using that for vrp. 
in my personal experience, i would want to use my headset for everything, and not just porn though incase family comes over and sees my headset just sitting there with porn badging lol but in terms of having an all in one package, i dont think you need to since the people that want porn VR experience can just look at a forum that you have to describe the different headsets SLR has tested with their professionals and just list what pros and cons each has. thats how i do it if im looking to buy a headset that will handle a particular resolution or something else. Maybe that is better spent on the scenes,etc.
Now as for the Sex toy, also describe the different ones out there and compare to the Handy or a sex toy uou may be developing, that way the curious person can visualize what they may want for their sex toy experiences

they could have their own purpose built OS instead of DeoVR if they wanted to make the whole SLR experience with the handy idiot proof end-to-end, go heavy on marketing and make bags$$$
I think very few people want a headset that is obviously only for porn due to family, friends, your girlfriend, whatever. A combi deal that is less expensive might interest some though
fenderwq quest suppose to come out with a quest lite, I'm wondering if it will be media driven with no games, that's basically what my gearvr and the go was, it had games but sucked but for media viewing and vrp it was awesome.
The major benefit is making things work one stop outside of the box.
You get the best setup immediately in one click and a huge saving in time. It’s also going to be a bit cheaper than purchasing things separately.
