Hairsational yes I am easily pleased with hot women in front of me. I think most porn consumers are, but there are a few of you let's say 10 who are drama queens lol.
Pressure to improve things - send Alex Mack to creative writing classes, ban pass through, open a new AR site, give me my lifetime membership money back and on and on and on. Give me a break.
Hairsational Would be interesting to see the PT watchtime vs non-PT watchtime
Also clearly not an analyst I see, given that there are 10' of 1000's of non PT videos vs only a handful of PT videos. The data would be clearly skewed towards non-PT lol. Also you would need to take account of other variables that were a factor like release date, performer, available on main page etc.
The quality of PT has only very recently been improved, maybe from the Molly Little scene. Would be better to take a random sample of say 5 films from the last 2/3 months and compare the watch time.
Personally I don't mind and a scene in a grey room is fine for me but I have to admit I switched on pass through the other night for Rissa on my Quest 2 and loved having her in bed with me. I can't wait to get Quest 3

+1, agreed with your comments above.
I also can't wait for the Q3, just playing around with PT on the Q2 it's easy to imagine the level of immersion full color will bring.
The feedback on this thread does feel overly negative, and I doubt it's representative of the site's user base. I actually thought the story lines in Europe tour were pretty good.
SLR is on track now to deliver some amazing things. As I said before, we are so close to bridging the gap and making these experiences more lifelike.
A lot of the criticism I see above, I do feel misses this bigger picture. Why make a separate site for PT? When most of the user base will be on quest 3's in a year's time? And if you don't like PT at the moment, it's fine, there are so many non-PT videos to enjoy. There are many genres of videos I personally don't enjoy - so I just skip them.
A lot of these complaints I feel distract from the real challenges and problems to be solved here, to bring us the lifelike experiences we want. SLR is uniquely positioned to solve these given their full stack ownership across content and platform.
Pointing back to my favorite example, multi-axis scripting. Right now, it' prohibitively expensive because each axis needs to be scripted separately. I played around with the tool a bit, and it's time consuming. But it doesn't have to be. It's time consuming because you're building movement patterns directly from primitives, much akin to the old days when we were writing assembly directly. You have a lot of direct control, but most of those permutation are useless because they don't occur in real life. Fortunately, it's a solvable problem, a layer of abstraction enabling you to use parametrized prefab movement patterns could potentially enable scripting of multiple axises at once.
But this is not something that will take several generations of headsets, an engineering team can build a solution for this in the order of 6mo to a year.
Another challenge we'll encounter... As we all know, what looks good on camera, may not necessarily feel good. But SLR has their own content pipeline, so they can control this. PT videos can be shot at angles optimized to viewed in bed. or on a couch. or standing up. With movements that are optimized to fully leverage the capabilities of the haptics tech.
What is really exciting though is that most of these challenges are not limited by silicon. It's a mix of software, price-point, tech/content integration, and organizational. That's why I disagree with the comments pushing to limit PT. I see the potential of this tech as a massive step forward in this space.
Another question about AR porn is how are props going to be done? Many of the best, most immersive JAV scenes feature props (e.g. a table full of food and a girl chopsticking it to your mouth). Would AR porn be able to incorporate that easily?
LordCrash I think my extremely useful contribution still holds- none of the drama queens are happy with VR either. I've read the posts man by the same users and you all go to pieces when the dick is 1 cm off centre during the shoot lol. Like you have your protractors out or something measuring this kind of stuff.
Note: Did you pick up on the fact that I can articulate myself without having to resort to verbal abuse?
Please be sure to play nice, everyone.
Edit: I mean keeping things respectful between users
justsomedude101 this thread stands for all the freedom people want unless someone is committing an obvious terrorist attack.
Let it go @justsomedude101
LordCrash that's exactly how you treat others without even being provoked.
If everyone gets like that it's a party riot all over the place. Give others some place dude. You don't have to push for things if your preference on every occasion.
Other than that I really enjoy your company. You have got some cool stuff to share
doublevr @LordCrash is actually friendly with me on POVR - I just have a different username on there lol
doublevr I have Quest 2 passthrough, like the majority of people on SLR, and can't for the life of me understand how people are enjoying it.
Hairsational get quest pro or quest 3 and you are going to enjoy it well
doublevr The girls are much hotter here for sure in my view, but he is much better behaved, less petulant and more likeable on their forum. Maybe he is just a fan of the kind of girls they showcase on that site?
I have subs on both but I am pretty much convinced to let my sub expire on POVR as I am finding that in any given quarter I will only like maybe one or two girls in who they are showcasing, whereas on SLRO I am setting reminders on pretty much 99% of the women in the upcoming section.
I think whoever does the casting here or whichever team have a great eye and knows how to cater to multiple tastes. I've even began to appreciate some chicks that I wouldn't ordinarily be interested in as they look nice when I see them in the SLRO scenes.
doublevr I wouldn't enjoy PT even if I had a Varjo XR-3. It's not my thing and I don't find the idea appealing. No amount of new shiny tech is going to help with that. So I avoid PT scenes and I will continue to do so, even with the 'choose your own background' option, not least because having the male performer wearing a grey bodysuit will still make it look artificial. I watch porn scenes to escape my everyday existence, not to try to pretend like I could hit that in real life, because I most certainly couldn't.
I know others are the complete opposite to me on this and that's fine. As long as there's a good selection of all kinds of niche on here (and I include PT as a 'niche') then I'm not going to complain about it. What does bother me is PT evangelists who tell me and others that we just haven't seen the light yet. We get it, you're excited about PT, it's your thing. Good for you. Don't shove it in my face and tell me it's good for me and I'm just too dumb to realise it.
It's only really an issue for me when PT is my only option for a performer I like and have wanted on here for ages. That hasn't happened yet, though I'm sure it eventually will do. So my ask is and will continue to be, don't do only PT with a new / community-requested performer.
BungaBunga What does bother me is PT evangelists who tell me and others that we just haven't seen the light yet. We get it, you're excited about PT, it's your thing. Good for you. Don't shove it in my face and tell me it's good for me and I'm just too dumb to realise it.
I'm like this with the harem stuff. I'm happy that fans of it are getting served what they like, but it's not for me. There's not something I'm missing about it. I'm not going to suddenly love it when the tech gets better. I just don't like it. People get weird when you tell them that.
