trooowiii The scale can be off in VR and you won't really notice it as much, but in AR, the scaling needs to be on point. Proper distancing and position of the camera as well.

This is exactly why passthrough WONT get any better - at least not anytime soon. You can standardize a camera position, distance, lighting, and scaling - and you still have no idea in what environment the end-user will watch it. The model has to match endless user variables, or it isn't immersive. That's why it is easier to just shoot VR, since it replaces the whole field of vision. In that case, models need only be positioned, lit, and, and scaled so they match the existing room, not the infinite passthrough rooms. That isn't something that's going to get better until the headset can auto-scan your room for dimensions, position, and lighting and feed that information to the player which scales and adjusts the output in real time. That's way in the future, considering we still cant get them to stop cutting models heads off in cowgirl after almost 8 years of practice now. I'm always surprised by how confident people are that AR is going to get SO MUCH BETTER when studios haven't consistently mastered VR yet - which is much easier.

    lolitovtb He was shooting for other sites so that might have had something to do with it. Otherwise I have no idea. To me he was the worst but each to their own 🤷‍♂️

      ...i love the appeal of AR, but i hate the floaty dick thing. It's the main thing that puts me off. i'm fine adjusting scale and position in both AR and VR, and have no problems adjusting on the fly. Giant women and odd angles don't bother me in VR at all, i just see it as a close up, but the same adjustments in AR seems much more disconcerting to me.

      i think the main issue, for me, is that every movement of the head is translated into the model moving against the background in AR, whereas in VR the model is constantly fixed against the background, so she doesn't move around in relation to it. i think that might be the crunch point in my head for immersion. Weird that i can take giant women, but not floaty ones, go figure.

      On the odd occasion where i've dipped my toe i do find it fascinating, and would love to experience it more when the technology itself can self compensate for my issues. i'm a little bit behind the learning curve, so could someone please explain to me if "Full 6DoF" is gonna fix it? i assume this is where both the model is 'fixed' positionally in relation to the external environment? i know SLR is apparently working on it, does anyone know how close this solution is to fruition?

      Also, like everyone else, i think having the SasyQVR peeps and similar doing some PT would look awesome, not having any dick at all would of course completely negate the floaty dick bit that puts me off. More AR strippers please... xD

        InfiniteFun ...i love the appeal of AR, but i hate the floaty dick thing. It's the main thing that puts me off. i'm fine adjusting scale and position in both AR and VR, and have no problems adjusting on the fly. Giant women and odd angles don't bother me in VR at all

        We all differ and I'm in the opposite boat. For example the floating dick doesn't bother me at all. I vastly prefer that than the AR porn where the entire male actor is visible. I can't stand that and frankly don't see the point in AR then.

        That said wrong scaling and wrong distance in either VR or AR is a complete buzz kill for ne. Thankfully these days scale can sometimes be dialed in but wrong distances - especially too close can't as I can't zoom out and 'create' something that wasn't in the shoot to begin with. Zooming in is easier although like zooming out it will distort the image eventually.

          trooowiii It's clear that you do not want any passthrough content being made

          That is not even remotely true. I just have an issue with it being half of the content releases. If you were on an all PT site for a long term sub and they implemented something you didnt sign up and cut you releases in half wouldnt you be annoyed?

              Wendigo The thing is, there already are a dozen good studios releasing great VR scenes on SLR on top of a huge library of content. However, when it comes to AR, only Simsense on SLRO does it properly, and they only upload once a week

              Some people here said that SLR stopped working with Simsense recently and they only have one scene left, so I guess we're back to 0 quality AR content. I'll just pause my sub until SLR manages to find a similar studio for passtrough. AR was basically the only thing I watched since I bought the Quest 3, and according to the AR scenes' likes, I wasn't the only one

              I find it a lot easier to position AR content exactly where I want to btw. Seeing your surroundings and your own body makes tweaking the scale and position extremely easy

                  <Pokes head into thread...> Hasn't the VR vs AR thing been done to death yet? I recall making a fairly long post about it myself a few days back. It's very clear that PT isn't going away, but it seems equally clear (at least for now) that PT will not become the default on SLR. Probably AI PT will sort it out, by making it redundant to have to shoot specifically PT content at all and let you turn any scene into a PT scene. IMHO the technology has a long way to go yet. I get the frustration from both sides of the debate. I just don't think we're going to resolve it here on the forums no matter how much we debate it.

                  On the original topic of the thread: I voted for 'talent', because I think that's the key to keeping people interested. I would like SLR to really go all out to book talent that has never done VR, or done some and said 'no thanks' (by showing how things can be done better), or last did VR in the stone age of 1080p, or are not doing studio work (OF models and influencers, 'retired to OF' etc), and finding new talent that has yet to break their VR cherry. Be persuasive (and pick the right SLR staff member/s to do that). Ultimately, exclusivity will win out if you can get performers no-one else can. Absolutely a mix of all types - young, new, experienced, older. Like some other posters I have strong opinions about what does and does not look good, and the fake post-surgery look definitely doesn't do it for me, but I'd rather we get some of everything so that there's something for everyone.

                  Most of that VR content is not exclusive and is available on multiple other sites so SLR Originals is the main drawcard in terms of content.

                    lolitovtb only Simsense on SLRO does it properly

                    Simsense in now with VRBangers. CzechVR does AR better. VRPorn.com also has their own PT that looks like it's shot by Simsense. Lethal Hardcore has said they are shooting AR right now (though they haven't released yet).

                    I think the likes on AR scenes was reflective of the exclusivity that SLR had on the medium. Can you imagine the number of likes on VR vids if SLRO was the only one doing them? Now that they aren't the only game in town anymore and lost their specialty studio, those numbers will go down, and they shouldn't be devoting half the release schedule to it.

                        Wendigo and they shouldn't be devoting half the release schedule to it.

                        Best by means of going back to releasing at least three scenes per week.

                          Wendigo I'd very much be interested in the cost differential between shooting a VR vs. an AR scene. Undoubtedly, using the same grey room all the time saves SLR some money, which is another reason I believe SLR is pushing it, but I wonder if the performers are paid different rates given AR seems more challenging...

                              vrguy69 if the performers are paid different rates

                              I would imagine that this is why the majority of PT models are rank amateurs: they are cheaper. It also could be personal - I've read a couple of mainstream performers talking about how they think AR crosses a line they don't want to cross, similar to how some performers wont do VR.

                                trooowiii Only thing I can remember was this rumor that Autumn Falls boyfriend didn't want her shooting VR for some reason. Was never really confirmed and haven't really heard many more cases like it

                                  proslr

                                  I can't quite put my finger on why but SLR casting doesn't often appeal to me - maybe it's because most of the women are very similar:

                                  • young

                                  • slim

                                  • white

                                    and then about 25% fake boobs - natural bodies are best imo

                                  For more appealing casting in my eyes, introduce more variation in all of the above, pretty much!

                                  I'd vote for more niche content like trans but i'm pretty sure SLR isn't going to put resources/money into producing it 🤷 Still waiting for the trans category to get some upgrades as it's hidden away and seriously lacks basic things like tags/categories/avatars or regular 8K uploads 😥

                                    phyuggene This should be the only reply.

                                    If it's OK to name "competitors" (if it's not, edit it out mods sorry) - I will never resubscribe to DarkRoomVR/VirtualTaboo. Every. Single. One. Of their scenes is exported with the wrong lens settings or something. Straight lines bow up and down across the image. The camera work is terrible, you go from being 12 feet tall, to stuck with a broken neck. And then when the girl leans forward during cowgirl and ends up clipped off the top of the screen, she warps too, since the entire image is skewed.

                                    When it comes to content that is actually available on SLR - there is one egregious VeryRealProblematic offender when it comes to camera placement. Either I'm 10 feet tall or I have eyes for nipples. To say nothing of the complete disregard for basic lighting across lots of studios...I used to ignore them almost entirely but I've been watching more SexBabesVR and SinsVR here...at least they've got lights.

                                    TL;DR I've been watching a lot more JAV lately. They actually seem to give a damn. There's QC.

                                      VRedging has way hotter girls than SLO releases

                                      For 6 months now I didn't like any release of SLO

                                      More vr cosplay stuff would be cool, like VRConk did but we lost them..

                                        You mean like other studios to suggest to be featured on the site?
