I tried the self-care one with Demi Hawks a while back (not the recent SLR one). I really like the idea of 6dof but it I got to be honest and say that the quality was really crap. I even tried it on PC to get that higher quality on my quest 3. Not nearly good enough that I would actually get off on it. Also the scenes/memories where insanely short and didn't loop or something.

Honestly curious, but are people in this thread looking at the same thing or has the quality just massively improved since then?

    fenderwq i bought a few scenes including the newest vega one, i think the vega one is little better than the older but might just be better lighting. Not as high definition as regular vr scenes but watchable imo and doublevr just said new camera rig coming in which looking forward to improvement. Something that is very noticeable is when you get up very close to the model, she gets all distorted, but im guessing that just might be a current limitation of the tech.

    Besides the great new 6dof experience, also really enjoyed environmental inclusion for the first time, being able to see hands in front of model. Its not perfect by any means but also found it increase immersion and is something would love to have as an option on all slr videos.

        jojo321 hmm that might be it then. Some people might just watch it from far away.

          LorexSLR We've shot our first 6DOF scene in collaboration with BraindanceVR!

          Looks great!
          I've only used the samples and it works great in pass through! I think pov is do able!

            I like it a lot. Obviously it's early days and still limited but there's real potential there. I've been getting tired of the same old POV bg and bgg scenes and this is much more immersive. I love being able to choose what angle to watch from. The Holy Grail for me would be a hot lesbian couple (say Melanie Marie and Demi Hawks) getting it on in pass-through on my bed while I move around watching them.

            By the way, I've tried some of the games like Virt A Mate and VR Hot but they all seem to have the same 2 problems - firsttly the interfaces are terrible and it requires far more work to set up a scenario than having a wank really justifies. Using Virt A Mate in particular is like learning a graphics package. Secondly the girls are like realistic sex dolls programmed to talk and groan a bit. There's no sense of being with a living human being. I much prefer Braindance's use of live models even if you can't interact with them.

              But later we will interact, imagine when and if they ever live stream! 🙂

                I have the same thoughts about Virt-A-Mate. It's cool and making your own scenes can be really fun. But in the end, it fails to satisfy. Like you mentioned about the UI, even making small changes can have you buried in menu settings. Also, even with plugins like Emotion Engine, the models don't seem lifelike at all. They can look good in a pose and even for a while being animated, but after just a bit the illusion breaks. VAM desperately needs some kind of AI integration to make the models more lifelike and to simplify creation/changes.

                  Haha, totally get you! It’s like VR is finally leveling up from those old POV scenes to something actually immersive. The idea of a pass-through setup with Melanie Marie and Demi Hawks sounds like the future of entertainment right there. As for the game setups, yeah, they’re a nightmare—like they’re asking you to design a video game instead of just getting to the fun part. Glad to see Braindance is onto something better though!

                    id love to try this stuff but sadly im not recieving any email with a code when i try to create an account, that sucks

                    LorexSLR We are "waiting for you. Waiting for you...."

                    For my 2 cents I tried braindance. Did they take the name from the game Cyberpunk :-) ?
                    It looks amazing better than voluverse but they are way too expensive.

                    So the real questions :
                    How do we access the video from SLR ?
                    When ?
                    Will this be in the normal subscription?

                        Will get back to you when we have everything finalised, so you don't have false info. Thanks for understanding

                          purchased and hears my thoughts,

                          really cool and immersive tech but first off Why does it play like a trailer??
                          whatever immersion it gives is ruined when im in position with the girl than after like 15-20 seconds bam she cuts to a different position. all braindance videos seem to do this where quickly keeps cutting to different positions between short clips. Needs to be seamless like every regular vr video not like a trailer, and should keep girls in position for longer. If its because theres a limitation on how long they can record, than do multiple shots and stitch them together to make as seemless as possible.

                          like others mentioned also more imitation of bg with common positions like cowgirl, blowjob, missionary, doggy.. rather than just solo masturbation focused, and remove the floor for better passthrough.
                          Other major issues like pixelation from certain angles might not be possible but all the above is and will make their videos wayyy better.

                          Okay, tried it on quest 3 now instead of pc and the quality on Quest is much better for some bizzarro world reason. On pc it was unwatchable bad imo, on quest it's just low quality.

                          Some feedback:

                          • This whole volumetric thing is super cool and it gets me excited about the future but it's not there at this point imo.
                          • Experiences are too short.
                          • Stitching experiences together like in the Aghata one is even worse as you can't loop anything like that.
                          • Quality really needs to improve. Also in the Aghata one moving around her will severely reduce quality on her back and show a semi transparent guassian splat artifact mess (like the information isn't there)
                          • The floor is too big. If a floor is really needed at least make it smaller
                          • 15 euro for what is basically a technical preview / trailer that is too short to actually jerk it too seems very steep.

                          Cool, but not there for me. Hope this will keep improving though

                          to anyone: keep us updated on progress, sometimes we cannot keep up on the latest developments in volumetric. If there is a more direct forum on here for this, post a link.

                            For me, the best thing about VR videos is the immersion of the POV perspective. With 6DOF, you take on the role of an external observer again. This can of course be quite interesting, but perhaps there is the possibility of combining 6DOF and POV. What do I expect from this? Well, with a ‘classic’ POV VR video, I can only see the front of the female actor, despite the perceived three-dimensionality.
                            But with 6DOF, I could see the side of the female protagonist when I move my head, and if I move further forwards, I might even be able to see a cowgirl's bum. That would be even more immersive, even more three-dimensional than in previous VR videos.
                            Are such scenarios possible and perhaps even in your plans?

                              VincentVega04 I think pov is already in the mix here when it comes to 6dof. It all comes down to how the tech is packaged and the liberties given to the director or editor.

                              Option 1. One simple extension to regular vr scenes could be a fixed camera frame for different positions like mish, cowgirl etc that the editor sets. This will be fixed pov but obviously it's 6dof. The girl more or less interacts with this frame as though it's a regular vr camera. The male talent could be included or not. That's an option if you'd want a body. This could also work out in passthrough.

                              Option 2 would be to include a male talent and let them do their thing. The editor comes in and tracks the male talent's head as though it's our head. And here we have pov with motion.
                              It would be interesting to see how the splats handle occlusion when the guy interacts with her. Maybe a camera attachment on the male talent too to tackle occlusion and improve details for close ups. Do we have enough cameras already!!
                              Heads up, this option isn't suitable for those who have motion issues.

                              Option 3 is more or less option 2 but the editor deletes the male's body. Basically drop the splats/mesh of the male body. A bit complex based on how much they interact/touch but still a possibility.

                              We always have the option to drop out and enter non pov or switch back to pov.
