Passthrough videos are getting technically worse

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.

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.

fuccaneer Of course, many of those entrepreneurs suffer from one or more of the above listed faults.

I forgot one:

• Guys trying to "power-up" the monetization of their big dicks. Probably not universal, but I would imagine that there's more than a bit of "I've got a big dick and that's all I need. Give me your money."

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.

My bad - your new ones does indeed have a normal height chair (Except for the "Sweetest Experience" as far as I could tell, but the "sitting position" there might be more of a leaned back one?) When I went back and checked now all the low-seated scenes were from mr. Strong it seems.

All the scenes--dick is still too far away from me. Not sure if that's how its filmed or if I'm doing something wrong but I have to zoom in quite a bit to get it to be near realistic for PT scenes. Height seems different on all the videos and not consistent but it's usually not too far off and adjustable, but the zoom its absurd how much I have to distort the image. Especially for reverse cowgirl, it seems like I would have to be 9 feet tall or something. I've tried using horizontal offset but that helps only for minor adjustment these are way too far.

Yup and that's what I mean. I have to zoom in A LOT to get the male body to line up with mine in most cases. And even if I can get that I also have to adjust height.
