The other thread (https://www.akiba-online.com/threads/lack-of-tech-improvements-in-jav.1560173/) is about lack of tech, so I figured I'd move my musings about i3D (VR) somewhere specific.
Immersive 3D (prematurely called VR by content creators) has the potential to be an exciting way to experience JAV. From my experience, it can put you “in the scene”. When the 3D effect is done right and the immersive view is proportional (sadly it sometimes isn’t) it can make it seem like you are interacting with the scene by being in the scene. What do I mean by this? For those who know (and don’t know), you can look around a 180 degree 3D scene. You can look to your left, your right, up, down, and see everything in 3D seemingly surrounding you. That is the immersive nature of this type of content.
Imagine a tried and true standard scene from a favorite genre. A wife with the young buck having a bit of fun while the husband is in the next room in plain sight to the viewer through a door or hallway opening. Lying down, eating breakfast, reading the paper on the couch, whatever the case may be. All the while the wife with the step-son, perhaps, uneasy and nervous, looking now and then to make sure hubby doesn’t notice what’s happening on the other side of the wall. An immersive 3D presentation of such a scene would have your POV with the wife before you (you’re the step-son!) and you could literally look to your right when she looks to her left and see the husband in the other room. Imagine! You see from your POV what usually happens in scenes like that, then you hear the husband snore or makes noise or call out from the other room, the wife stops to answer, perhaps, and you look to make sure he isn’t coming. Sure, it is all staged and he’ll never get up but that would put you inside a scene you probably like watching. It would seem like you’re in the room and there’s a room you can see into next to you. Yes…all of this while the ever present mosaic is…ever present. But that’s why you feel like you’re in the scene. Watching the scene traditionally has mosaic.
I’m not saying immersive 3D (VR) is the best thing ever. Like someone pointed out, it’s a gimmick and it may not last in the long run. But right now it is still young and I’m hopeful things will only get better with it. The major disadvantage with it, really, is that people see it as something they can’t do. Like when 3D movies/titles came out. You needed a whole new Blu-ray player, monitor or TV that could play 3D content as it was intended for crying out loud. I never got into 3D because of that. But you can use your phone right now, which all of you have, with some inexpensive VR goggles like Google Cardboard type goggles or the ones that are starting to pop up at retailers everywhere (or Gear VR for you Samsung phone owners) to take a peek into this other world. It really is neat to experience.
I’m horrible at convincing people of things, so I’m not trying to convince anyone that what I’m saying will stand true for others who experience it. It is my experience. And I’m not trying to convince you to go out and buy anything to try this. But for those who have been interested or were or now are, maybe a slight investment in entertainment? There is plenty of Western content out there that is actually superior to anything JAV-related at the moment, but that’s to be expected since it hasn’t garnered enough of a following in Japan. My hope is that more content will immerge in JAV. So far Office K’s has jumped in and produced a number of scenes, along with other minor labels. http://www.afesta.tv/vr/
While this thread might be largely ignored (many reads, no replies) or be met with ridicule or pointed commentary on the cons of the VR experience, and that’s certainly your right to post as much, all opinions are welcome, I’m hopeful for a few things:
- Others who have experience with immersive 3D (VR) will share their likes/dislikes.
- Others who know of any other JAV content might share where that is.
- Others who have or want to try or share some JAV content will inquire about it here.
I was called an “early adopter” recently, which I guess is true. For any longtime Akiba members, if you recall, I once championed and provided 60fps content back in the day. I was an early adopter with that as well. You can find 60fps all over the place now. Not that I’m saying I had anything to do with it, but can I pick ‘em or can I pick ‘em. KIDDING!
