  • Let's discuss passthrough (not a yay or nay thread)

LordCrash I'll be the first to admit that I'm probably caught up in the novelty of AR at the minute. Right now, today, I keep going back to the AR stuff. but I'm sure that'll change, and maybe even-out I guess.

But one thing I have noticed is I'm getting bored with a lot of VR videos - apart from the location a lot of them are the same - I find myself seeking out the 'unusual' VR videos for something different - and that's what AR is at the minute...for me, this is a welcome addition - even if it is clunky at the minute.

But I'll keep saying it - it's early days - it'll get better ( hopefully!!).

    And actually, what I would like to see is some of the Live CAM girls using AR - I think that would be interesting to be able to interact with these girls that feel like they are in the room with you.

    Well the idea would be that if it was a one postition video it'd be way shorter than current VR porn. You could do more 15-20 minute vids of just one position specifically designed for PT...OR what would be better is if they could have some kind of AI or algorithm just automatically shift the PT positioning and settings when the camera angle changes in the video itself. That would be most ideal. Like it should get to a point where all we need to control is the colors/level of PT we want..the tilt, pitch, angle etc. should all be automatically controlled and set to the best possible alignment to your own eyes.

      If you're ever being accused that the relationship sex is suffering because of your porn watching habit, here's your defense 😃

      LordCrash is definitely a lot more boring than VR porn. It's pretty much always the same with zero creativity involved. No storytelling, no fantasy, no taboos, not fetishes just mechanical sex in your own boring bedroom every time. But then again, some people are indeed easily pleased.

          So one thing I haven't seen before that would be pretty cool is to have a scenario that plays into the fact and highlights that you see your own house when watching a passthrough movie. There are millions of things that can be done here. Just some examples on the top of my head (keep the amount of positions to a minumum though and easy to align):

          A scenario where this friend hired a new maid for you that turns out to do much more than cleaning. Your working from home that day and it starts out with her getting you a drink and doing some chores. She's wearing one of those sexy maid outfits which you totally didn't expect. She could clean some stuff on the floor which requires her to bend over properly. Spill something on you. Etc. Do some buildup and things that would work in any room. You could start of from the perspective of a regular chair. She could comment about your place, ask where things are, ask you when your home, etc. To ground the experience.

          Or a simpler scenario where you bring a girl home for the first time to your place. You have a bit of build up on your couch. Then things heat up and she's like, hmm why don't you show me your bedroom? There are a million ways to ground the scene by highlighting that your at your place.

          Or your girlfriend asked you if her foreign friend could stay over a few days. Turns out she is super sexy. At night she comes over to your bedroom where you lie with your girl and invites herself in the bed. She could say something, thanks so much for letting me stay here but it's lonely there all by myself though. You guys mind? Etc. 🙂

          A girlfriend scenario. Like a really intimate and realistic setup. Could be something simple where you wake up in the morning and you still lie in your bed. She could be getting ready and ask about what you wanna do today and chit chat for a bit. She could be wearing something simple and not too much makeup (as in hot but realistic, not full make up and sexy lingerie). She comes back to bed cuddles against you for a bit and things go from there.

          Or a morning after scenario where you had a fun night together ans she wakes up in your bed. Could be all kinds of things to ground the experience. Like hey do you have some coffee? Her finding something in youre nightstand, whatever.

          Or something like the scenario above, but you had a wild night with friends and some stayed over at your place. You wake up and this really cute girl lies next to you...

          Your doorbell rings and you have the girlsscout kind of scenario. Maybe your girlfriend/wife opens the door and brings her in the living room where you're sitting and sits next to you. Like you sit on the couch, the doorbell rings your girlfriend and the girlsscoht come back in. So you would have a consistent angle that is also easy to align.

          I would also love some VR edging like vids in passthrough. Like a private massage but at your place, in your bed.

          If no one has mentioned this yet (because I haven't read everything in this thread. It's so many words)...
          This Madison Wilde passthrough video looks really great on Quest 3.

          The scaling is a lot better and also the passthrough chroma key is better ...than older passthrough videos on SLR in my opinion. And I was completely sober when I was testing this. Please keep it up.

          I have a thought... I've noticed a lot of new people have been asking about VR Porn on Reddit recently, because they are new owners of a Quest 3. I feel like maybe SLR should have trailers again like they used to for non-subscribers. Or at least a few trailers for people to try out. Especially a free trailer for the Madison Wilde passthrough scene. I feel like more people would subscribe if they could see what that passthrough video looks like.

          ...I only noticed that there are no free trailers for non-subscribers recently, because my friend asked me how to try VR Porn after I told him about it. He is also a new Quest 3 owner.

          I would use it as a novelty now and again if it was a convincing effect (i.e. I really believed she was there) and not so fiddly to use in practice. As others have said, it is so restrictive that it’s only really doable if you don’t have to change positions like the VR Edging example.

          Then there’s the issue someone said about having the guy not fuck the girl back as it breaks the illusion. That sounds fine on paper but it wouldn’t be much fun for the performers involved or give any kind of intensity or passion to the scene. It would just be very mechanical.

          I’m not a toy user but how does it work with that? Surely you’d see the toy in passthrough which would totally break the illusion.

          I understand the concept of it and why it’s attractive to people but I just think we’re a long way off it being slick enough to be great to watch and not look amateurish. I don’t think we’re in a position with it yet that it should be up towards 50% of the new scenes. Keep experimenting with it yes but let’s not have it take over the site.

            petermc it's not that bad with toys really. You sometimes see it but mostly in blowjob parts or handjob parts that are from the side. You just need a good hands free setup and a small toy like the handy

              fenderwq Focus on getting the shot lined up - I image this is very difficult but I watched several scenes today that where simply impossible to align up correctly. When you have a scene with a green suit this will result in a dick being in some random place or the girl being in a completely different perspective. Maybe this can be checked in a VR headset during shooting like the Japanese do? This one is hugely important to nail.

              So, Quest 3 has renewed my love of pass through videos -- it's so much better than the Pico 4 (my PT experience of Pico 4 went downhill after one of the SLR updates a few months ago, and I never figured out how to get it back).

              And you are correct that being able to get the right position is EVERYTHING. When the performers are in the right position, it seems like the girls are lying on my couch with me, or standing next to it, or sitting on top of me! But when the position is off -- not nearly so good.

              One idea I had -- I'm not sure it's possible, but -- What if the viewer could use a controller to "locate" his dick and then the scene would automatically adjust? That is, you point the controller at your crotch, hit a button, and now the stunt dick is always placed where your dick is. Or maybe the user puts one of the controllers on his crotch for a moment, like when setting the floor level.

              I think that might help.

                  That is pretty cool, for sure.

                  justsomedude101 Can confirm - took a bit to get things setup...but it's pretty impressive.

                  You created this vid? It is very impressive indeed.

                  justsomedude101 I feel obligated to mention that Passthrough + Virtamate might also be a game changer.

                  For me personally, CG models in PT seems to be a more interesting medium than real women in PT. It's not something I would necessarily wank off to like porn, but I think I would get a kick out of trying out.

                  (I probably don't have PC specs good enough to run VAM though; only have a Ryzen 3700, RTX 3080, and I see you have a RTX 4090!!!)

                          Oh no, just followed the instructions in that post and got things working identically 😅

                          For me it's a fun thing to experiment with "on the side". I don't have the time or dedication to create myself what some of these folks are able to do with creating full scenes/etc., but fortunately you don't really need to with the right Patreon subscriptions/etc. And a ton of free content is there on the HUB.

                          And your setup should be fine. VAM is notoriously un-efficient with GPU and CPU power, so even with a 4090 the improvement over a 3080 would be a lot less than you'd imagine. I have a 3080 and it does the job, and even my old 2080 did.

                              Wow -- that is something else! You know, I think I bought one of their devices when they were a startup and wasn't happy with it, so I tossed it. But this is incredible.

                              Or am I thinking of something else?
