The problem with Passthrough

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.

blerp1600 , doggy doesn't work while I'm relaxing. Missionary doesn't work while I'm relaxing.

All true what you wrote -- AND, for me, 90% of the videos I watch, even the non-pass-through, I skip all the positions except those where the stunt dick is on his back or seated. So, it works great for me.

I have a different problem -- on my Pico 4-- some type of change was made to the Deo/SLR app about a month or two ago and PT doesn't really work right anymore. It was great! It was AWESOME! But not I can't seem to get any of the videos, even those made for PT to actually get the colors to work right.

I don't really know how to articulate the problem or I probably would have posted a question to try to fix it.

I love PT. And I totally understand why you wouldn't like it because you use VR porn differently than I do.

I think getting into the position is probably a very healthy thing to do - it would probably be like a mini workout but I completely get where @blerp1600 is coming from.

vrpicasso it’s not just at the expense of variety, it’s at the expense of actually fucking the girl as opposed to just being a totally passive participant while the girl fucks you. Don’t you fantasise about actually taking control and bending a girl over or pushing her down on the bed and thrusting into her? Or do you just want to sit there like a glorified dildo while the girl bounces on you? Where’s the fun in that for the female performer too who wants to get pounded?

The day VR porn goes back to just being one fixed camera position with a dude sat in a chair is the day I stop paying for it.

mebejoe Maybe @Vrsumo2017 can help with your PT issues on Pico 4?

petermc but like others have said there is nothing stopping any of us getting into the positions and acting out what it is we wish to fantasise about. It seems many of us just want to consume VR porn in the same way as 2D porn and still have an immersive experience whilst not wanting to fully immerse ourselves into the medium.

The whole AR concept isn't designed to be a passive experience. The idiom 'You can't have your cake and eat it' comes to mind.

Similar to what @Vrsumo2017 said earlier, sometimes I jam my Fleshlight in-between the two seated parts of a couch, then put a cushion over it whilst watching a doggy scene and simulate the doggy position. I probably look ridiculous and I don't know what I would do if someone caught me doing it lol but it's some of the best jerks I have ever had and I am normally out of breath after I have finished.

petermc I assume you don't use a handy? Passive positions work with sex toys, that's just the way they're designed. The Handy moves, to replicate the female movement.

theHobbit of course not if that’s what people want to do. Very early on, before I knew specialist VR players existed, I used to do that on non-passthrough scenes. With passthrough though, even doing that, you have to then line everything up just right every time the position changes which I’d have thought is a bit of an immersion breaker.

The post you quoted though was responding to the guy who said he’d be happy if every scene was just sitting cowgirl, sitting bj, sitting hj and finish.

MickyCheese Absolutely and I've suggested that before. Honestly, I don't understand how such an obvious thing isn't already built into DeoVR or any other 3D player. It's just a large image no different than a wallpaper (aside from the fact it's 3D) that replaces the passthrough. Obviously it's not as good as a proper video but it's much better than passthrough for those that hate passthrough.

ThePointyEnd the latex body suit is much more of an issue than the background. I could watch the PT scenes in the grey room, it’s not ideal but it was watchable and being able to add a background may have made it more watchable if it worked well. The latex suit though makes it unwatchable as a non-PT scene whatever the background would be.

mebejoe But not I can't seem to get any of the videos, even those made for PT to actually get the colors to work right.

Elaborate more on this, I still use my Pico 4, I really haven't notice any changes. Unless I'm not seeing what your seeing. Describe this a Lil more if you can,

mnmlikereal use the horizontal off set, move it to the right to make the scale bigger or to the left to make the scale smaller.

But use the + -, push them one time and look at the scale, still looks small? Click on the + again.

It works G , I use it often.

Yep, my main use is laying in bed (usually with my OSR) and the seated parts don't work as well (still better than the missionary/doggy parts which I never watch in PT). The laying section of the scenes often seem shorter than the seated parts.
