Such an approach might do okay during the early days of VR if demand for porn outstrips supply, but it wouldn’t survive once there was competition – because the last thing consumers want is more DRM.
Shuster seems to truly understand the impact that VR will eventually have, but he also seems to see it as an opportunity to bring back the adult industry’s glory days of huge profits by introducing new, more conspicuous forms of DRM and access control. It’s the first truly game changing technology for content in decades and it will eventually have an impact on the way people consume content at least as monumental as the creation of the Internet was for adult years ago.” In the XBiz interview he said, “Virtual reality isn’t like the difference of going from 640×480 to HD, or from HD to 4K resolution. Shuster sees VR as a game changing technology and believes porn companies should be fighting for their place at the VR table. In October 2015, Stewart Tongue at interviewed Brian Shuster of Holofilm, a VR porn startup partnered with seven major stakeholders in the online adult industry. Just as with the mobile market, the porn industry will probably have to sell VR content to consumers directly or via alternative marketplaces. However, the official Oculus marketplace will share Facebook’s TOS – which means that porn will be prohibited. Judging from what little information Oculus has given on the subject, it sounds like the Oculus Rift hardware will be capable of accessing any type of content or software. What was surprising, however, was that nearly 39% said Adult Entertainment. Almost 52% said Video Games, which was to be expected. In November, XBiz created a poll in which respondents were asked what forms of entertainment they felt would most drive VR headset adoption among consumers. The only thing that remains to be seen is how aggressively the gay porn industry will invest in VR content development during VR’s early days – and whether the industry will come together to create a unified alternative marketplace. As VR gains traction in the marketplace, there’s no doubt that there will be a big market for VR porn content. In addition to Google’s official cardboard headset, you can also choose from a number of slightly fancier, Cardboard-certified viewers.Įven though the major VR headsets haven’t been released yet, VR porn content catering to the nascent VR market has already begun to become available.

If you own an Android smartphone, you can get a small taste of the VR experience for just a few dollars using Google Cardboard. Samsung’s Gear VR (a $99 VR headset that works with Samsung’s Galaxy S6 family of phones and the Galaxy Note 5) should be available by the time you read this. Dozens of companies, big and small, are now developing VR equipment and content. The Oculus Rift and Playstation VR are both slated for release in 2016, along with many other VR headsets. Will the porn industry help to lead the VR revolution, or struggle to keep up with it?
