Personally, I have no interest in pass through. But, when I received my Quest 3, I decided to give it another try. And after giving it fair shake. I’ve come to the conclusion that I still have no interest in PT scenes.
My main issue with PT is in order to make the most of it, you must put your body in the same position as the stuntcock so everything matches up. I usually watch my VR porn in one position. Usually seated. Having to constantly change positions during the scene doesn’t appeal to me at all.
I’ve read some comments by pass through fans that they usually only watch one or two positions. And skip the rest of the scene. Or turn off PT when the position doesn’t match to their viewing position. IDK, sounds like a waste to me. Not sure how I’d feel if I was a producer or performer. Knowing portions of my efforts are never watched.
And speaking of performers, I have to believe shooting PT scenes is some of the least sexy scenes you can shoot. VR is already a hard sell for some performers. I gotta believe this isn’t going to help. Instead of growing VR porn, I feel this will have the opposite effect.
Now, I’m not trying rain on anyone’s parade. If you love PT, knock yourself out. Enjoy it! But this announcement doesn’t really excite me about the future of SLR. In fact, quite the opposite. If this is the direction SLR wants to go. I will have to seriously think about whether I want to renew my membership for another year.
This is not a threat. Or me pouting because I’m not getting my way. It’s about not getting enough content that interests me to justify continuing my membership.
Just my $.02
