Question
On quest 2, is it me or does deo logo look off centered every time when you open it up?
What’s the next top priority effort we should hop on?

Vrsumo2017 randomly thought about “if the glove don’t fit, you must acquit”
Get the basics in order
SchnuppiLilac Thanks for the intel! Yes, I've seen a couple other studios do this (Pervrt comes to mind). I'm sure the non-POV will be less popular than POV, but it still adds content and variety, and I think that is what viewers are looking for. If you've ever seen some of the studios exploring non-POV content, the comments are passionate that some enjoy the experimentation and variety. I also think that the market for non-POV would grow as more people get a chance to view that kind of content. Speaking for myself, if there was a studio that had a lot of content and was mostly non-POV, I'd pay for a separate membership (even tho I'd prefer they just join SLR).
petermc No worries my friend, and those are some good thoughts/suggestions. I'm sure there is more than one way to tackle this. For example, if they are filming the POV, I'd be happy if there was a camera 5 feet to the side, out of view of the POV camera, but showing the 'voyeur' view. As for the cumshot scene, I love these in non-POV, and would hope this could be done the same way - with the non-POV camera to the side out of view, but I'd still be happy if they did the money shot in POV only.
I'm also sure there are other challenges we're not even aware of, as non-producers, but you make a good suggestion in that if you already have a girl booked and a scene setup - why not do extra filming for more content? I'm sure that would involve money/profit considerations, weighing the extra cost versus the extra profit from non-POV viewing. And I also enjoy POV and I certainly don't want to ruin that for those who really prefer POV, but speaking for myself I prefer non-POV so much, and damn I wish there were more of that kind of content, especially with the higher quality producers and girls.
cheers
You simply cant get those amazing voyeur body views and angles in POV that you can see in voyeur/non-POV (or even proper closeups alone)
Being able to switch on the fly between pov and voyeur in the middle of the same scene would be pretty amazing and hopefully possible in the near future
THIS!!!!!!!
Niteflyte I am definitely in favor of variety and non-POV along with POV content. I remember many non-POV lesbian scenes that were really great (e.g. from SinsVR) and I am also enjoying solo scenes or the videos of KinkyGirlsBerlin which have a significant share of non-POV.
have a camera outside the window hiding in the bushes and another in a closet where we can see the Guy outside looking in on the action and the guy outside can see the guybin the closet watching lol
Bucket619 I can't remember what scene it was but they the had the cam outside next to a window peeping in on a couple having sex.
Eventually you made your way in cuz the guy took off, and the female was like hurry up and get in before he sees you. And of course they fucked. Lol
Damn, now im curious what scene that was.
Niteflyte it’s not so much of a problem to keep the non-pov camera out of shot. Like you say, just have it to the side out of shot. The issue I was talking about is the reverse way around. That being, if you’re watching through the non-pov cameras, you’ll see the dude with a big VR camera rig around him while he’s fucking the girl which I’m guessing most wouldn’t want. Something like this.
Vrsumo2017 Watched this one the other day
SchnuppiLilac think that's it, got link
Get streamers/vtubers like Melody or JP streamers on board to live stream (and/or make VR videos). A lot of JP vtubers are making fully body tracked VR videos/livestreams on sites like bilibili. As far as I know they don't provide any haptics yet.
Speaking about haptics, I would like to see haptics for full body suits. Some of them are getting quite affordable now.

I have been experimenting with Topaz Video A.I. The upscalling models currently don't work effectively for VR180 films. However, with enough compute power and the right trainers you could develop VR180 models for upscalling using the films on your platform. You could then licence the usage rights of your models to other companies. With the Apple headset arriving in 2024 there will be a demand for very high resolution video. Upscalling can work for VR with the correct training data, and you have exclusive access to a large collection of potential training data (your current films in highest quality).

SchnuppiLilac Cronenberg's eXistenZ
Videodrome is much better, and a must see film for anyone in the pornography industry. It's about using VR porn to trigger assassins. Long live the new flesh, and all.

License a couple OnlyFans girls faces and create deepfakes with a royalty-based model (or flat-fee)
This one comes out next week and is quite promising (512 resolution)
https://github.com/ygtxr1997/ReliableSwap
This model (128 resolution) has taken the internet by storm and is scary good for just one-shot transfer (single face picture as source, no training required)
https://github.com/s0md3v/roop
Even got integrated into StableDiffusion as an extension:
I have tested roop and it's pretty good! It works for VR as well if the face is straight centered in the FOV.
Since I didn't wanted to limit myself, I also went ahead and coded a custom processor to go over VR frames, detect the face, crop the face in perspective mode from the equirectangular frame, run the faceswap / face upsampler on the cropped perspective and then finally convert the perspective back into equarectangular projection mapping by integrating it into the original L+R frame. Now it works for all shots even if the face is outside the center and face gets warped / distorted
[deleted] I did not see triggering assassins on any of @doublevr's to-do lists (and I think that's a good thing). In eXistenZ, besides the concept of full immersion, I always liked that iconic moment when Jude Law is exploring Jennifer Jason Leigh's sphincter-shaped bioport. I only learned now that this image is at the same time symbolic for the dark side of VR porn production (and a strange coincidence that I have posted a picture of this guy a few days ago here in this thread).
less quantity and more quality, focusing on stars with experience and acting abilities suited to the difficult environment of performing in vr
also maybe more interactive games in the style of lifeselector without paying every 3 seconds
