  • The problem with Passthrough

My main problem with passthrough is that you can't watch it while sitting on your ass.

When I'm beating my dick to VR porno, I'm stretched out on my couch with my feet up, with my back at a 45 degree angle, like a true lazy sex pervert. I can engage with like 75% of all VR porn and positions (excluding, maybe close-up mish, and PT) like this. All I have to do is adjust the angle of the scene (on Quest, by holding one of the triggers and moving the screen) so the VR dick lines up with mine. Easy peasy, I can watch a whole scene nice and squeezy.

With PT, because the scene now takes into account where I'm at by allowing me to see the environment around me, doggy doesn't work while I'm relaxing. Missionary doesn't work while I'm relaxing. The girl looks weird, because her position doesn't line up with mine, which has now been made obvious as hell. For example, with missionary, since I'm sitting on my back against the couch, and the girl's in missionary, her hair will just be splayed out just floating in the middle of the air (because in HER shot, she's on her back, but from MY pov, she's basically in Cowgirl).
That kinda stuff a million times easier to ignore when you're watching fully-shot immersive VR scenes because you're IN IT, it surrounds you entirely with a whole new setting, instead of the VR scene awkwardly merging with your surroundings.

For a huge portion of passthrough scenes, I'd have to actually get the fuck up and stand in those positions, or move around between positions. That might be fun or interesting for some, but I'm not doing that shit. I'm just not. That's way too much work. I'm here to put on my helmet, sit back, and tweak a scene's visuals so I can relax normally and jerk off. I am absolutely not going to stand up, or get in some weird ass position so everything lines up in both perspectives, and thrust into the air like I'm fucking a ghost in order to enjoy Passthrough.

    MickyCheese I doubt it'd be as immersive as a normal scene because the background would be added in post and I can't imagine it'd end up nearly as convincing as if it had been shot non-PT, but yeah, that'd probably help to some extent

        This is pretty much how i feel, i prefer sitting on my couch and when i've tried using PT it just feels very disorienting when they're in any position besides cowgirl/reverse

        blerp1600 yeah, that's true. If you want to check it out there is a serena hill custom background scene.

        Luckily, they are working on AI generated PT (trained using alpha channel videos), so that should give us good PT with great non-PT scenes. You'd be able to turn on PT in the middle of any scene!

          blerp1600 I think the thrill of AR porn is that the girl appears in my own room. Then I just find the position in the scene that suits the position I'm in and ignore the rest. My only real issue with this is that they push so many positions in AR porn scenes that the positions that fits the one I'm in is simply too short.

          I hope the future of AR focus on either filming longer scenes so the positions that works for your own positions aren't over in a blink of an eye or alternatively and what I prefer they instead make multiple 'scenes' in one scene - meaning you do a full sex scene with a finish in a position for those laying down, do a full sex scene with a finish of those sitting in a chair, do a full sex scene with a finish for those that stands up next to a table or whatever.

              haha, love it 😃

              I dunno if it's weird, but I actually can switch the passthrough off and enjoy the grey background just as much as a non PT. Wait till the Nia Bleu scene, background or no background, she is going to be epic @blerp1600

                  OliverDK My only real issue with this is that they push so many positions in AR porn scenes that the positions that fits the one I'm in is simply too short.

                  I know it's not perfect but I hope they don't remove traditional doggy scenes from PT as the girls Pete Green brings into Simense are right up my street compared to the other directors here. Latinas with big tits, small waists and big asses all day long.

                    blerp1600 With PT, because the scene now takes into account where I'm at by allowing me to see the environment around me, doggy doesn't work while I'm relaxing. Missionary doesn't work while I'm relaxing

                    Lol yeah Bro you gonna have to start getting up during doggy and missionary, I'd always watch regular vr porn laying down, all positions watching laying down, but it wasn't until I started using pt options THEN I felt I had a reason to actually get up, watch a actual seated cg rcg in a seat, get into a doggy position move the model in different areas in my room or on the corner edge of my bed (my fave in doggy), a laying close up "pussy oral" I'd kneel or squat by the edge of my bed and it looks like she laying on my bed, a standing bj I'd take her to my kitchen, standing hard-core up against any of my walls, place em on my desk chair lol yeah bro in pt I actually felt the need to actually get up, at first with the quest 2 I had a blast and in pt I actually would watch a full scene from start to finish, this one time G I actually needed a shower after wards and I'd say it was the most "immersed" I ever got in vr.

                    But now I use the Pico 4 and I'd say 90% of the time I'm back to laying down watching the laying cg rcg parts in pt, every now and then I'd get up for sum doggy or Mish.

                    Pt is an option, it's there if you wanna use it or not, I usually chose a video, try the pt options if it works it works if not I turn it off and watch the scene regularly. But when I find one that works really great its like falling in love all over again, lol 😆 😂 🤣 💕

                    I'd say I actually had more fun with pt in quest 2 then I do in the Pico 4, Pico 4 is good but in dim light it's fuzzy. Probably why I just watch laying cg rcg cuz I aim my lamp towards me, I'll get good decent light like that but then in other parts of my room it's fuzzier, and it got annoying readjusting my lamp 🤦‍♂️ so i just kinda stick to laying, lol but quest 2 even tho it in Grey, shit I had fun!! just with my lamp on my whole room would be evenly litted.

                    Lol, my advice just watch the seated parts if you just wanna sit and watch vr, sum doggy parts if your in a seat if sit up straight and lean forward it can look like you doing doggy on your floor. Lol 😆

                        blerp1600 and thrust into the air like I'm fucking a ghost

                        Lol 😆

                        Well, we're pervs we'd fuck a sock or a towel lol
                        Yall memer American pie, dude was fucking the pie 🥧 , 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

                        I use to jerk off to squiggly lines with them ppv channels, vivid wicked playboy hustler swank

                        I mean compared to that, I'm not to picky about my porn, if i use pt options and she got ghost eyes I'm Still fucking. "Jerking to it" lol 😆

                          OliverDK Then I just find the position in the scene that suits the position I'm in

                          Bro, I really think the alpha doggy and missionary need work, like a doggystyle position the cam can be to low and in my real environment if I get in doggy position her ass like up by my chest. Zooming don't help and using the height to lower it messes up the image.

                          Same for far away missionaries or standing mish, if the cam to low she looks hooverd over my bed not laying on it. 🤦‍♂️

                          They need sum re adjusting in those positions.

                          Laying cg rcg, can't go to wrong there but sometimes the cam a Lil to high, needs to be lower to guys chest.

                          Idk, it's a process. 🤷‍♂️
                          And they need to use actual beds 🛌 instead of laying on the floor. Imo.

                            blerp1600 that’s exactly my issue with it and the whole “wait until you get colour passthrough” will do nothing to solve that issue. The only way around it is to make the scenes incredibly restrictive with the whole scene just being in cowgirl which is a backwards step.

                            People suggesting CG backgrounds, that would possibly be ok if the guy wasn’t wearing a latex gimp suit. Even the grey background was actually watchable until they started putting the guy in a latex suit. Basically, the way they shoot them now, those scenes are either passthrough or nothing and they are starting to take over the site. It must be close to 50% passthrough in the last couple of weeks.

                              blerp1600 No worries, since the SLR team is now shooting exclusively on the canon system, that means that people like me, who own the canon VR system can also simply take real world pictures of locations with the same camera and tweak them a little to match exactly what you will see. Pictures from the camera will be 100X better than CGI, at least from a realistic point of view, CGI has it's strengths also. Hopefully real pictures will make things even better.

                                blerp1600 For a huge portion of passthrough scenes, I'd have to actually get the fuck up and stand in those positions, or move around between positions. That might be fun or interesting for some, but I'm not doing that shit.

                                I personally always really liked matching the positions of the scene in real life, even in my non-PT VR-Porn.

                                I tend to lay back in my chair or on my bed for any of the Cowgirl/Reverse-Cowgirl scenes, and I use a Fleshlight with a suction cup ('shower mount') on my desk or a sex-doll hip-toy on my desk to pound into when watching Mish, Standing-Mish, Doggy or Standing-Doggy.

                                Now with these PT releases, already being used to matching the positions of the scene takes the immersion to another level cause it gives the illusion of me really banging her on my own desk, which is hot AF.

                                So far, I've been enjoying the Quest 2 and don't really need an upgrade to Q3, but if the color-PT of the Q3 turns out to be so much better as I've been hearing, I might go ahead and buy a Q3 just for the color-PT improvements.

                                  I'd be happy if the only positions were seated CG and seated BJ / HJ and lap dancing. Full immersion at the expense of variety, I'll take it.

                                    vrpicasso Given some of us lay in bed such scenes would be and is useless. I recognize that it would be the same if it was the other way around.

                                    I don't know what the solution is though as ever solution I can think of comes with it's own advantages and disadvantages.
