Passthrough videos are getting technically worse

The newest passthrough video was disappointment: https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/meet-mitzi-x-49966

I become so frustrated because so much wasted potential. Where was the intimacy? Teasing part was ok, but it could have been so much better. Where is the kissing, let the girl be even closer. Girl can just sit close and talk/touch etc, no need to perform something all the time.

Patience is the key and build the sexy feeling. It is ok if girl does not speak english, she can speak her own language (flirting way of course). Look at the JAV videos for reference. It is actually better if she does not speak and repeat the normal english porn bullshit: "Oh your dick is so big, I am so horny etc"

Please stop foot fetish, there is minority who likes it and it is out of normal filming time.

You don't have to agree anything I said previously. This could have been ok video but then you ruin it. Is it too low bitstream, too hight compression or what, but you could see stripes of same colour when streaming this video. This effect ruins smooth skin colour How could this video be immersive if you could see "skin stripes" all over girls body? Please have the checklist to avoid these mistakes. Why to even bother filming if you sabotage your end result like this?

I have become fan of VRLatina, they have nice models and know hot to do this. I prefer watching them with AI Alpha than these videos with potentially better Alpha packing. So sad... how long we have to wait to get even 9/10 passthrough videos? We go on step further and get two steps backwards.

Picouser SLRO appears to be lacking a lot in quality control. Just when we thought these compression and focus issues were resolved, they're back again.
Unless it's an older scene shot with these issues and released now, it doesn't make sense.
And if it's an older scene, why not mention it in the video description so that we are more understanding of the reasoning.
We know the effort that goes into each and every scene. But with this end result after having seen it solved earlier, it is disappointing to say the least.

Yeah what happened to that latest video? It completely lacks details again, just when all that seemed solved !?!

I think the biggest problem with all VR porn is that the people making it don't watch VR porn ever.
I'm guessing if you are on a porn set all day for a job then the last thing you want to do is go home and watch porn.
Somehow they need an experienced VR porn watcher to have one on one communication with them. I'm sure they could find people on here that would talk to them on the phone to tell them what it looks like to us the viewer.

Not forum texted comments but a real 30 minutes talk about what us the viewer like and dislike and why. Why something is so important through the headset.
I truly don't think they watch any of it.

AsianSexVR started making videos 2 months ago. He started out with the camera too close but after just a month he had it lined up perfectly.
He fixed so many things so quickly by what I assume is watching back what he shot.
If you haven't watched any of his scenes you should because they are pretty good.
P.S. I don't watch them in PT but I am guessing they line up really good

I tried looking for a thread specific to this question but couldn't find one but I have noticed quite a few vids lately and previously where in AI PT there is like a ghosting image layered on top of the actual scenes where you can see the silhouettes of the performers from like a different point in the scene overlapping what is supposed to be shown making it unwatchable in AI PT and I can't imagine I'm the only one experiencing it, so is there any way to fix that or is it a defect with the individual scenes itself from the studios?

rerun119 biggest problem with all VR porn

I don't disagree but I think its just a symptom of a larger problem: the reasons content producers enter VR porn is rarely about making a great product as defined by the viewers.
Porn (in general) has a built-in filter that limits both the number and type of technical creators that enter the market. VR has a huge barrier-to-entry in equipment costs and technical requirements.

So you end up with a very small pool that is saturated with producers whose motivations rarely line up with viewers.

• get-rich-quick types with a focus on short-term profit so have little motivation to invest in quality
• people who get into porn primarily for the sex. IE: get paid to fuck pornstars or to be near pornstars to increase chances of sex.
• narcissist types who think they know better and will always ignore critical feedback
• eager amateurs who just don't have the resources to invest in quality
• then there are the nerds who would rather invest in something "cool" or "groundbreaking" than burn resources on improving basic quality.

None of this is to say that there aren't outliers. VR porn is still viewed as kind of the unexploited wild country where people can dig out a fortune. That does attract the more entrepreneurial types who may recognize that investing in quality upfront will likely result in greater future earnings and sustainability/stable growth. Of course, many of those entrepreneurs suffer from one or more of the above listed faults.

fuccaneer narcissist types who think they know better and will always ignore critical feedback

I think a form of this is needed to be the stunt cock. I would never have the confidence to get in front of other people on film to do it.
It looks like a lot of the directors are former stunt cocks.
I really feel like female directors would make a better VR porn because they look for different things in sex. The things that translate to VR

rerun119 Many of the directors in the industry have had allegations against them at one point or another. It's usually things like coercing girls do sexual things after a scene and from what I've seen it always seems to be ex or seldom booked performers who have branched into producing/directing, seemingly to continue to be around these types of girls.

Hi @George, would it be possible to have more close-up missionary in the EU PT scenes? It seems like most of the scenes haven't included it...

deng09 Yes definitely. I was just not sure, as there were some comments, that it doesn´t make sense in PT. But will include it from next production.
Thanks for the input!

the penis is still too far away in all the PT videos

rerun119 I think the biggest problem with all VR porn is that the people making it don't watch VR porn ever.

Bingo. Or at least most of them.

There are probably serious technical obstacles to this, but I'm surprised shoots don't have an actual VR headset monitoring the camera feed. When you shoot any kind of regular video, you've got monitors on set wired up to the cameras and you check white balance, focus, framing, color, etc. The same should apply here, but I doubt there are any VR cameras that can actually be rigged that way. Maybe they can, who knows. It would at least easily explain any "damn X or Y director/studio never screws up like this, what happened?"

What is more unacceptable is when the same studios consistently have the same exact issues with their videos, for weeks or months on end. How long was LustReality/VRSexperts's white balance off before they fixed it (tbf at least they fixed it)? How do they consistently manage to have the director yapping in the released scene? Sometimes less than 10 seconds into it...just yell "places" and start over dude, wtf.

As for content not present here, how many years has it been that VirtualTaboo's had their head in the sand about:

1. The wrong lens profile correction being applied to their footage (or none)
2. Incorrect stitching
3. Bad scale on top of it

I am assuming the same crew shoots some of TmwVRnet's content, it has the same exact issues

Part of me is thankful that it's normal for JAV to credit the director. I always know who to avoid, and who releases well-framed, properly positioned, immersive videos. It seems like the best we've got for American and European porn (other than when SLR credits the production team for their Originals ️ thank you) is silently noticing the same sets - and likely the same crew - doing jobs for multiple studios:

Set - Content Here - Content Elsewhere

1. That beige-ish room with the cathedral ceiling and the skylights. Round ottoman in the middle. Bed in a nook with a lower ceiling off to the side. SinsVR, RealJamVR - 18VR/BaDoinkVR
2. That "office" with the grey walls, faux brick wall, and black leather couch - SinsVR, RJVR - 18VR/BDVR/VRCosplayX
3. the room with the floor to ceiling windows and that white couch you always think she's going to fall off of - SinsVR, SexBabesVR - I've only seen it in an 18VR scene other than that
4. lol the yellow LethalHardcoreVR house - LHVR, RJVR, PornCorn, probably more
5. "the DeepInSex set" (sometimes with white sheets on that L-shaped couch) - seen it in a few RealJam videos recently

If I were a betting man I'd bet 1-3 were always shot by the same crew I'm just not sure who's actually shooting it.

NewSubscruber The SinsVR owner/director (won't name him) shoots all the scenes with EU girls for: SinsVR, BadoinkVR, 18VR, VRCosplayX, RealJamVR, PornCornVR, plus some others in the past like VRPFilms

Stoney Curtis (LHVR owner/director) shoots for: LHVR, RealJamVR, and PornCornVR

Jerry Kovac (DeepInSex owner/director and performer, LHVR performer) shoots for: DeepInSex, RealJamVR, and PornCornVR

Hairsational I wonder if SinsVR guy is also VRPlayful. A lot of their recent stuff particularly looks like him and they’re now re-releasing his stuff “remastered” under the VRPlayful banner. They are also coming out with BS made up excuses for changing their content to more vanilla stuff and that’s him all over.

George The last few PT's have epic parts and are overall greatly improved, but the chair is even lower now it feels like? Is this the new one?

Both the american and euro-shot ones are real low to the ground in seated position and it is one of the hardest thing to correct with settings, as you have to adjust until the image gets distorted to get the the height up to "normal". I'm in a regular recliner and the chairs you're in looks like low beach-chairs or something heightwise.
