    Isn’t allowing the porn industry to be able to use your hardware crucial for widespread adoption? Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the fact that Betamax and HDDVD did this was one of the factors for their loss of market share?

      ChatGPT/OpenAI also doesn’t allow for AI generated girlfriends as part of their usage policy.

      We truly are living in the worse timeline

        You can always download something like llamacpp or gpt4all and plug in any gguf-compatible nsfw model from huggingface. OpenAI are a bunch of wankers that dont deserve your cum.

      I play elite dangerous in VR as well as several other sims. (Including a proper training sim for RC aircraft with a connected TX.)

      If you go full hog with physical switches and everything positioned perfectly…. It can be extremely immersive technology. Like train surgeons immersive.

        Porn sounds cheaper and less embarrassing to explain to a date.

          Not really. She knows I’m a nerd. Not that I can afford a set up like that, but, I wouldn’t mind it.

        Train surgeons does sound pretty extreme and immersive, but I feel like I’m about to be disappointed by a typo

    Im so confused why this wouldn’t work and I didn’t see anywhere in the article the actual reason. Can anyone explain it better? Can you not just play a vr video file? Is it blocking the sites? I’m just confused.

    It works, you just have to adjust a few settings.

    Apps > Safari > advanced > features flags

    And you need to turn these 3 things on WebXR Device API, WebXR Augmented Reality Module, and WebXR Gamepads Module.

    Well that’s shit. Even my OG Rift can do that.

    Pretty sure there’s an open standard for VR as well (WebXR), Chrome supports it but Firefox doesn’t.

      Lots of smartphones can do VR video too, when you add a set of VR goggles that fit it. Just plain goggles with no electronics that hold the phone in front of lenses that you can strap on your face. It’s simple enough that it should be possible on any VR display system actually.

        Well I wouldn’t know, but my friend tells me that if you go to https://vr.stripchat.com/ , put on your headset, click the big Enter VR button and then click allow, then you will be connected to a bunch of ladies who definitely are not Russian despite all being quite Russian, but also do not care much for wearing clothes.

        In surprisingly high detail and framerate at that.

    I’m confused, are there no media player apps for the apple headset? Any such app would allow for playing vr videos

          The porn only plays on a flat screen. It doesn’t support 180 or 360 degree video.

            Yeah that’s what I don’t get. Vr porn videos are a thing, so the only way this could be an issue would be if apple isn’t allowing any 3rd party media apps and doesn’t support playing vr videos on their default app. Which is really, really weird for a vr headset

              Maybe it is weird but Apple is master of limiting users’ choice.

              It’s almost like apple just takes established products and adds a ton of DRM to them until they are unusable for a large amount of the uses the original product had.

    VR tech is still too new for it to have mass appeal, the tech has to come down in price first before anything will happen in this space

      VR has been around as a technology for decades.

      We are now at a point where people can walk around with a VR headset in without dying.
