@doublevr Has SLR ever considered an ad based business model (like tiktok or any tube site)?
The ROI on ads seems to be very high (even for VR video) and viewership/revenue skyrockets with it because the content is easily accessible to more people.
How do we make SLR cool?
You were already cool! Just get back to what you were doing a few years back - making awesome 1 on 1 and multi girl scenes that were innovative and technically great!
Personally, I'm not into passthrough, JAV style scenes, harem scenes, BTS stuff, or weird overlong armpit fetish segments, I just want well shot and directed scenes, decent ongoing narratives, with hot chicks having hot hard sex! It's as simple as that for me.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with experimenting now and again, but you seem to have your fingers in too many pies atm, so there's less of what made you great in the first place.
Vrsumo2017 we know all of them. I would not expect any of those joining SLR any time soon. The only reason you see some of them on VRPorn is to piss SLR LOL.
They all started the same time when SLR did, yet they got stuck producing videos and looking for quick buck ads. While we are moving everything forward.
But really, there won't be major impact if we would have all the content. We have to innovate even more to make things cool. The biggest innovation now is packing things right for users
MickyCheese not really. tube userbase is huge and those aren't looking to pay anything.
SLR userbase is small and these are paying a lot. There can't be ads model for VR until it gets mainstream with millions of daily users. Altogether SLR is around 100k.
tallbloke35 Passthrough and haptics are the most trending parts of SLR. All the future headsets are coming with greatly improved passthrough.
The same like tubes and TikTok have all sorts of content we are looking to get everything what's out there. It's a job for data team to generate the most engaging feed for each user so you only see cool stuff. We are revamping suggested feed in coming month.
Vrsumo2017
I would like to see those too. I've also subscribed to vrpron and povr just to get some of the content of the studios you mentioned. It would be great if we could combine them with SLR scripts.
SLR is for the biggest part a content provider, so it would make sense to provide as much original content as possible.
I would like to get rid of compilation videos as they pollute the search results. Just take a look at Blake Blossom's profile and try to pick original content. Maybe provide a filter where we can blocklist these studios like Manny_S, Private Jet, Cumpilations. Maybe provide an additional option: 'Unless they have a script associated'. These studios don't add to SLR, they just pollute.
doublevr if you really want something ground breaking and different, might as well just go all in on that deepfake/voice AI because yeah, that would intrigue a shitload of people. Either that or partner with some famous ethot that people would lose their minds over like a Belle Delphine or Jordyn Jones
I don't think content is the problem, it's awareness of how immersive VR porn is.
And don't focus on short form content (only short-form marketing) - short-form content is a 2d thing which can be viewed purely for casual entertainment, but VR content has to be worth the effort of wearing the headset (and setting up Handy etc). VR is like Imax, it's an event - while it can be fun it is NOT casual. Not until the tech makes it so with super light and comfortable AR glasses that you wear all day.
If you want to grow your audience, it's an awareness problem to solve. Make it cool and fun with short-form tiktoks, sponsorship and porn ambassadors etc (like Redbull or whatever) - this is a massive task as you're basically de-stigmatizing not only porn but VR porn so it's going to take time and ingenuity. Let's face it, Meta with all their resources, STILL struggles to convert gamers because VR has to be experienced in person. It's not like you can really have an SLR tour bus visiting malls across the globe to show people what VR porn looks like.
So 1) how do you make the idea of VR porn fun and socially acceptable, and 2) how the fuck do you get people to try it? How?!
Have you approached Joe Rogan to be featured on his show? He's already talked about VR porn so a logical place to start. You really need a spokesperson who can engage with that kind of celebrity and promote the concept. You need a Musk / Zuck / Jobs to go out there and spread the word with charm and eloquence.
Make the SLR video app Cardboard / Samsung compatible and promote it for running different language tracks. Lots of poorer folks still use DeoVR for watching films but have no native video app for multiple language tracks. Many folks from the Samsung / Android ecosystem abandoned VR for that reason. Promote that SLR app supports multilingual audio and captioning for foreigners.
Vrsumo2017 Wetvr
That's a great idea. WetVR is under terrible management. It's the odd man out from within the studio that owns it. Propose a temporary collaboration where SLR hosts their films. Also, for anyone thinking of subbing to them, do yourself a favor and don't. Unlike SLR, they aren't reliable or secure. The trial option they have is a total scam (I actually requested and received a refund from Epoch, which should indicate how untrustworthy and deceptive their practices are.)
Another idea for you: when the mainstream media reports on the Quest 3, make it your mission that as many as possible refer to the headset as the "ultimate porn device" or a "sex holodeck" etc. Make this part of the conversation. The Q3 to most of the world is just another boring gadget and they have nothing really to say about it, but give them a salacious angle and they will lap it up. You could have psychologists give sound bites on this. Remember when when Apple talked about the "retina display" being some kind of benchmark, well you could do the same thing with the Quest 3 and specifically your new camera rig and your passthrough technology. You want the women on The View to say "so apparently the 10k cameras they use now are so detailed and the display in this thing is so advanced, it's like really having sex, you can see the guy or girl in the room with you - so what does that mean for our future" - that kind of shit. Hop on the back of the Q3 marketing machine and get people talking about the exciting technology of AR/VR porn. Then when the Apple headset comes, do it again.
Define what makes content "like real sex", back this up with science and psychology, and take ownership of humanity's exploration into virtual sex.
Oh, and make a documentary for Netflix called Sex Like Real.
sheldoncooper I think going for a big change is very risky. Look at Dezyred, I don't think that concept is doing very well tbh.
I would focus on 6DOF and immersion in general. One of the unique features of VR is that you can look around 360 degrees and move with controllers.
There are almost no scenes that make use of 360 let alone 180. Most of the action is still in front of you with limited flexibility to move. I would recommend to focus on 6 DOF and useage of the full 360 or 180.
100k users? Are you guys profitable?
Profit options
MickyCheese while the tech is progressing on its own, making things cool is out of tech. The same way like TikTok, Facebook, Twitter and all the social networks are nothing like interacting in real world. Instagram, Youtube and everything are creating another layer on top of real to make things exciting rather than real.
Porn is anything but real.
Current tech is enough, we just want to pack it right.
Getting all the VR videos, dropping compliance and making SexLikeReal free might make it much more popular than it's now, but someone would have to fund millions of dollars operation. No ads is going to cover that
thatoculusdude that’s the plan now 
️
ChatGPT is in works. Plenty of stuff is happening there.
Still we have to figure out how to pack it right. Getting product oriented CMO would be really cool
Rustam1990 Nail intimacy, try out different things. Body worship, spit exchange, face/ear licking, caressing, (post-orgasm) cuddling. These are intimate, immersive things that are surprisingly not seen in western VR porn frequently.
There have to be creators making these. It’s near impossible to do it cool without someone being deep into it.
Allow more user-suggested scenes. Not saying every scene should be that but at least give us subscribers a bit of say.
It’s up for producers. They are doing really poor job on that. I’d wish there would be more producers around better engaging with community. These scenarios are really cool
The SLR website is good but please get rid of the "beta" warning whenever I try to access it. More timely presentation of previews and upcoming scenes (right now it is good, 5 on the queue with some much-anticipated Euro scenes later this month). There should be a large banner on the main SLRO website to show off the latest scenes (like in VRB).
Going to fix that. Otherwise you should really try streaming slr with the DeoVR app
Docbear64 good points. We definitely can do better job making SLR better discoverable.
I have big hopes for our flat effort as it both makes SLR content and tech available for smartphone users and also brings all the abundant flat content to VR users. Handy connectivity is crucial there. Also will be releasing OnlyFans functionality soon along with smartphone streaming option for those girls inside headset and on smartphones
I don’t think we should use other platforms to promote SLR the same like TikTok isn’t using Youtube for that. We might actually have some tube uploads for fun.
We can have many thoughts inventing this or that. Right now my strategy would be to consolidate current assets like flat production, script creators, etc.
One woman per film, unless you have a good story to tell, like DreamTeam.
