Really surprised that close-ups are so unpopular. It's like the only scene I want to watch in most VR videos.
Whether its close-up standing, sitting, laying, doesn't matter; I like them all since they're so close for the phantom sense effect.
Surely you guys aren't going to remove the close-up missionary segments entirely? Reduce time for the majority who prefer the model to be a bit far away? Sure, I don't mind it too much. But I almost exclusively skip to close-up scenes only. It would be a real shame if close-up sex won't be filmed anymore.

    obilisk2450 I love closeups too but in passthrough the standard missionary closeup doesn't work that good imo. I would like to see that replaced whit the lean over face to face cowgirl and very close face to riding on your lap while sitting JAV is famous for.

        fenderwq right. Maybe it's just my preference but I find the camera is too close to the models face that it makes it too sharp from a vantage point. Maybe do an offset where the model is a bit to the side to switch it up. Somehow if directors and spend some time face to face, then offset to one neck then the other, it makes it more life like. Also it seems that the sweet spot for this distance wise hasn't been quite nailed yet. Or may5I haven't watched enough content to find it.

        Thoughts?

          It does but they been doing them missionaries with the model laying on something, she needs to be laying flat on a bed and position the cam for a away Missionary and do the upclose Mish with out any foam sex pillows under her.

            Hey G, can get you to try this and see how it works for you.

            Put these #s in
            pt
            40

            1000

            It's not perfect but I'm curious if that's what a close should look like to you, go to magic wand section and get into a close like u would laying over a hottie, put a pillow behind her head too, and if want turn on 6dof so she stays in place.

            Let me know, imo that how close up should look in their pt productions And work, man if I had a torso doll holy skeets! 🥵

                Vrsumo2017 imo that how close up should look in their pt productions

                Shit welp I just changed my mind, s.o.b

                https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/one-more-time-39166

                So what I did was get into position and stack up my pillows behind her and it looked pretty good, also if you turn the 6dof on and move the slider sum to the right, you can lean forward into her like you getting close to her face. Looked pretty mind blowing, I can imagine with a torso doll in that position would work great!

                But still I'd like more laying flat on the bed Missionary, that link I posted just takes more effort to fix it up nice. Laying flat missionaries you just get into position.

                I'll take both at this point. 🤷‍♂️

                    Vrsumo2017 it's not unwatchable or anything, just think the positions I mentioned are far more convenient in AR. Also to keep the position changes to a minimum, less alignment, no pillows in your view lol, etc.

                      a month later

                      justsomedude101 All in all the current plan is to aim for around 10% standing, 45% seated, and 45% laying segments in future releases.

                      This quickly became 98 % laying, 2 % standing and 0 % seated (unless the few minutes with horisontal torso and bent legs were supposed to be seated).

                      What happened?

                          I wouldn’t give up on doggy I honestly think most of the models used in AR just don’t have the assets for prone bone OR doggy. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses! If we put a model with a great ass in those scenes it completely changes the game. Particularly if the ass has a little jiggle to it with each thrust to enhance the emersion.

                          Is passthrough only possible while streaming online or will it work with an appropriate downloaded video on the Quest 3

                            chainy75 Is passthrough only possible while streaming online or will it work with an appropriate downloaded video on the Quest 3

                            yes it works with downloaded vids too - just use the DeoVR standalone version but not the Steam .

                              Really need to fix the camera angles, everything else is pretty amazing IMO

                              Simple example when watching - tease into BJ, have to change the pitch. Then into cowgirl, need to change to pitch. Fast forward into 2nd cowgirl (both labelled “Cowgirl”) suddenly there’s a penis and 2 girls on my ceiling. In all PT scenes. What’s going on??

                              I don’t mind some manual pitch changes to fit my environment throughout the scene (e.g if I wanna fk when not sitting down) but it feels really inconsistent.

                              justsomedude101 Is there a release date for the first PT scene that has implemented the changes discussed yet? I'm assuming the recent ones released were shot before this post.

                                  Not yet - we still have several more releases shot in Oct/early-November to release before we get to the more recent shoots, so they're not yet on the release schedule. Obviously only a matter of time, though.

                                    I'm unlikely to watch any. I would like some solo scenes or lesbian. The pov stuff looks good but I can't make myself feel like it's me. If I saw a stripper in my room I can get into that, or a solo scene. The Czech AR model looks good, do something like that. That would work for me. I'm sure there are others that would like this type of content, but I'm not holding my breath, there is a total lack of imagination driving carbon copies of every scene at the moment.

                                    Some exciting new things to share regarding AR/Passthrough content, much of which has been discussed in other threads - but figured it was about time to put it all in one place 😃
