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).

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
I'm on a Nvidia 3090 with i7-8700k so not the ideal hardware setup. I'm still optimising all the low hanging fruits I can tackle.
I will try and provide a benchmark test very soon for a 60 sec clip (single and multi-threaded). Bear in mind that the code is written in python so it can be optimised much further if you refactor it to a custom C++ CUDA kernel.
Anyway I'm happy to gift my solution to SLR and see what your computer vision / AI team can do with it.
But aside from the technicals, I believe this business model of ethical deepfaking with consent can open up tremendous amount of oppurtunities for onlyfans girls, cam girls and others who don't want to perform but have no issues with licensing their face for a royalty-fee
damian oppurtunities for onlyfans girls, cam girls and others who don't want to perform but have no issues with licensing their face for a royalty-fee
If i understand the concept right, you could for example merge a licensed face with the body of a performer in one of the videos owned by SLR. I get it why you might want to deepfake faces from outside adult entertainment into a porn video, but if it is about your favorite onlyfans or cam girl, what you will get is a chimera of that girl's face and Melody Marks' body. Even if the VR performer's body looks quite similar, you will probably not be able to ignore the fact that it is not the right body. Of course I might be missing something here, but for me ethical deepfaking sounds more like a gimmick for a few than like tremendous opportunities.
SchnuppiLilac Well every great invention starts as a gimmick but gets polished over time.
Personally I don't use OnlyFans so I can't really speak on body + face attachment a fan can have. But I totally get where you're coming from and it's valid criticism to this idea. If you've been exposed to the face and body too many times and then see a deepfake video where it's only 90% there, your brain might have a tough time to click. Sourcing the right VR performer with the right face takes time but there's some fun in that. Nowadays there is a large pool of videos to choose from so you can get super close (at least I have) where I bet most consumers wouldn't have an issue with.
On the other hand I'm in the camp of "better something than absolutely nothing". This tech is moving at rapid speed and I'm sure by next year we'll be seeing StableDiffusion / LoRA / Controlnet models to transform entire bodies as well. Best is to already work on proof of concepts and add new modules to make it better and better to stay ahead of the disruption curve that is yet to come...
By testing it out ideas in the market even with a 95% accuracy rate, you can see what the feedback is and attract talented devs who are willing to take it to the next level. Passthrough VR on the Quest 2 is a great example of that. It's a gimmick right now but it's naive and short-sighted to think this is not gonna become a large category of porn in the future.
damian Thanks for your response, now I have a better idea of where this might be going.
RealcumberScripts 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
Yes, that would be awesome!
RealcumberScripts 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
Great idea! Could be done right now by planting more camera's but mask them nicely within the decoration.
Or hopefully we see some advancements in Nvidia NeRF technology which is quite exciting as well:

@damian Stable diffusions and all this stuff is cool, of course. But to move this into production - another story.
To perform any body transformations or deepfakes or whatever we have two options:
With first approach there are some technical limitations but we can overcome them.
With the second one there are much more problems:
We can turn second approach into first one and think about presets. But with DeepFaces this is kind of illegal I guess
With Face Tuning and similar things - unpractical.
Any ideas and ways to overcome this are welcome. We don't think too much about this at the moment.
I'm patiently waiting for flat haptics. Particularly the handy since its not on haptics connect yet.
More scripted content of varied genres and scenarios, which I guess AI might be able to do now that I think of it.
Y'all have been addressing this and bless you, I just want more lmfao. Most of the scripted content is pretty vanilla, which is totally cool and I'm usually looking for... Sometimes I wanna mix it up though 
It'd be easy to script a decent chunk of other content (at least the good scenes in different genres) and get it out of the way. Then you'd have more niche and variety on the site which I presume would be a good thing
BDSM, Orgies, MMF, Interracial, Gangbangs, etc.
Oktoberfuckfest was a great scene, the orgy scenario was hot... I think it's the only scripted content where it's an orgy like that.
Choose your own adventure scenes would be great. Right now every scene is just what it is and you get people complaining constantly about what is, and is not, included in them. It would be great if you could just film everything and when you went to play it on the app or the website there would be a "menu" where you could just pick what you want to see and the website would stitch that custom video together for you. Don't like anal? Don't choose it and you won't see it. Weird armpit fetishists could get that stuff and everyone else could just not see it.
You, or another studio, could have a virtual brothel series that would work well for this. Choose the girl and choose what you want.
xoxo Yea you're right, moving this into production is not that easy. The models are becoming quite powerful but still sometimes misses or misaligns when the face moves around to the sides or when throwing head to the back.
On the illegal aspect, I didn't mean allowing users to upload their own source face to deepfake. That's gonna be a liability hell on your end that I wouldn't wanna touch either. I was strictly talking about a licensed SLR Face Gallery to choose from with consent all curated by your team.
Oof never thought about the second idea but gonna take a while until hardware catches up... maybe with the Apple Vision Pro 3th gen lol. I'll keep exploring and report back if I find a breakthrough, for now I wouldn't make it a high priority
cowdoy we will be posting new AI scripts every week for different videos, you can check it out in this thread
You can also mention in that thread if you want any particular video to have an AI script, so the team can see it
Do you guys curate your content? Obviously, if you want to be the Netflix of VR Porn then you have to maintain a certain standard for your production partners. So scenes which are clearly, objectively not up to any kind of professional standard should not be on the site IMHO. I can't upload my home movies to Netflix and I hope you have some kind of quality threshold for your content. You should be watching everything you show, and watch it on an actual headset. If it's not real VR or is basically unwatchable then it shouldn't appear on SLR - IMHO. Just a thought.
