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?
There's an excellent video by technology connections in which he mentions this. Turns out, sort of not true. That said, in the modern day, that 100% is gonna be the case, IMHO. Porn flows like wine anymore, and people aren't going to want to adopt some weird pornless tech.
I find that it doesn't necessarily flow freely, but rather is expelled in short bursts
There are exercises for that, to build up range
Nothing like a nice peno

Is there a risky click guy to call forth on Lemmy yet?
kinda like wine?
in the early-mid 90s online porn pushed tech to the limit in so many ways. first spammers were serious porn hustlers. from my pov of watching the interwebs develop, porn pushed the multimedia boundaries. and here we are again.
Porn also pushed the advent of secure online monetary transactions.
ha! that reminds me, i had a friend tell me he had to modify their database because they never expected a single transaction to reach that amount. a lot of deep pockets came out of the woodwork back then
Your not wrong. After all, that's why Google blew up, and Nintendo.
According to DVD, yes.
Well then WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT I just wanna pretend to have sex with my ai generated girlfriend. But here I am COCKBLOCKED BY TIM FUCKING COOK.
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.
Who is Tim and why is he fucking the cook
Tim we have to cook
Thank you very much Tim Apple
Tbh I can’t think of any applications for this product that don’t involve porn
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
TIM YOU NEED TO GET THIS TRAIN BELOE 100 KPH OR I WONT BE ABLE TO VLOSE ITS AORTAL VALVE. FO YOU WANT THIS FUCKING TRAIN TO BLEED OUT, MAN? NOW YOU GO GRAB THAT FUCKING ENGINEER AND TELL THAT SON OF A BITCH UNLESS HE WANTS TO EXPLAIN TO THIS TRAIN'S WIFE AND TRAIN CHILDREN THAT HE MURDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT TRAIN IN THEIR TRAIN LIVES HE WILL SLOW. THIS. FUCKING. THING. DOWN. GO, TIM GO!
DAMNIT JIM, I’M AN ENGINEER, NOT A DOCTOR!
As a desktop replacement although I fancy Visor for that.
If you want porn get an Android
Not even the phone. Just a real, literal android.
Or literally anything else with a screen
Yet.
Give the porn industry time.

All I got is a Gatorade, some Viagra and a fistful of sunflower lechtin and a deadline.
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.
My understanding is that it allows you to play planar video from a website, but not (yet?) side-loaded videos that are spherical/hemispherical. And the latter is what these people really wanted for this application.
Fucking Apple lol, just let people play video files, this should be basic minimum functionality
I mean, they just got type-c. Remember when the first iPhone couldn't send picture texts?
Picture texts? Like ASCII art? I think you mean MMS.
Yes, mms.

I saw another comment earlier that said its easy to switch on WebXR, which enables VR Porn, it's just disabled by default.
lol, right 😉
You know, all those other unwholesome, dirty people who aren't me.
Nah They already have quest and that unit blows up high rez porn shorts first time you boot it. It's too lucrative they just want the optics here
Like most safari complaints from nerds you’ll just have to enable it in the advanced settings.
aaawwww... (closes wallet)
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.
A friend of mine wants to know how that works....
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.
My friend appreciates your friend. 🖖
I'm confused, are there no media player apps for the apple headset? Any such app would allow for playing vr videos
They are not in 3D
What's not in 3D?
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.
Yet
Betamax VR.
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.
Any one remember Nintendo’s Virtual Boy?
