Immersive 3D Content and Enthusiasts (oh boy...)

[Inertia]

For the cowgirl comment, the problem arises that in some content it's filmed so closely that the girl appears larger than life. Realism is one thing, having sex with a giantess though isn't every man's fantasy.
So the advice there isn't to drastically change their setup, but to simply move the camera back like 2 CM. That's it.

SLR has zero intention of giving creative advice to JAV studios. They just want to help them shoot technically superior content.

Among JAV fans, JAV VR is very popular, but it finds far less traction across the western world due in part to technical failings.

And as for DRM, we're weaning studios off of it slowly, but surely. CasanovA, the 2nd or 3rd largest VR maker in terms of release quantity, has DRM-free downloads at SLR. WAAP, Dream Ticket, PetersMAX also are currently DRM-free.

Even bigger makers like KMP and SOD have told us they may be OK with going DRM-free for older releases in the future. We need to take this slowly.

"So the advice there isn't to drastically change their setup, but to simply move the camera back like 2 CM. That's it."

I think that's debatable. Yes, most of the studios seemed to have scaling problems in the beginning. The better ones have eliminated this while managing to film even closer. The studios you mention, with the exception of KMP and SOD, still have these problems, as well as poor quality video. So, if that's your frame of reference, I guess I can understand where you're going with this. However, I still don't think making changes to more closely emulate what's going on in western VR is the answer. Have you watched say, the last 10-20 releases from SOD? Or, SIVR? I could name half a dozen others as well, whose content and quality has far surpassed what's available from the majority of western producers. They're actually filming closer... and, it makes a huge difference as far as realism.

I think this has more to do with language difference, and censorship rather than technical failings. Some, people just can't around this.

 

[Walle12]

Yes, I think so, too. In JAV they are talking all the time, and if you don't understand japanese... But the main reason is that it is censored. Not that the camera is closer...

So I have enough extra money saved up to finally buy the Quest or Go. I couldn't find a concrete guide for this online, so thought who else better to ask than you guys. Before I drop the money I was wondering how does one get the torrented porn video on the system and how troublesome is it? Also just to double check, these systems do come with headphone jacks, correct?

I saw people mention using your PC as streaming media player or using plex? That to me feels like it will 100% take a hit in quality when watching.

 

[Popodog]

Both Quest and Go have headphone jacks.

I don't store any videos on the Oculus device at all. You'll want to install a video client on the Oculus that supports streaming from a network share (NAS, or folder on PC) via UPnP/DLNA. There are several available. I use Skybox, and it works very well. There shouldn't be any degradation in quality if you have a solid WiFi network.

On the PC or NAS, you'll want to install some sort of UPnP/DLNA server application that will allow your files to be be discovered and streamed by your Oculus. Plex, Kodi, Emby, as well as host of others work fine. It looks like you can even enable this in Windows 10 without installing any software. I haven't tried this yet, but will do that and report back.

Even easier, you can install the SLR app, and legally stream video directly to your Oculus without having to download anything You can pay per video, or subscribe monthly. It's not too expensive, and makes available thousands of titles in different genres.

Popodog, VR porn fans overall are more computer savvy and sure, many in the west hate the pixels (can't be avoided), but SLR gets a lot of complaints about the technical quality of JAV movies compared to the west.

Thank you for this write up. I know you stated you don't store any videos in your device, but is there anything wrong with that? I hear user not doing it. Wouldn't it be the simple route? Drag and drop the file into your VR headset when connected to the computer via USB then just play the video on whatever video players you have downloaded on it?

Unless you can set up a password secure server/folder that is accessible over wifi, I can't do that since I share the wifi.

SLR is basically like a subscription porn site, right? Akin to something like Brazzers or BangBros, etc... just with VR porn? Unless I really like the content I don't think I'd subscribe.

I love jav vr porn they have great camera position, real intimacy and great quality.

The few things i think stops people from getting into it : its in japanese and its censored.

BJ scenes are worthless to me.. whats the point if you basically cant see the girls face while shes doing it? Also i love asses so i almost get mad when theres awesome asses put in your face in vr... but its censored! What a freaking waste of potential. When they did those stupid censorship laws they never envisioned vr porn. Every member of the japanese diet should be forced to watch a couple of hours of censored vr porn with almost only censored POV then shown like 10 minutes of uncensored western vr porn and realize how stupid those laws are for VR. Keep your stupid law for 2d porn if you want but amend it for VR ffs! It would also help foreign sales and help japan economy.

And people complaining about SLR jav porn quality... arent the ones on SLR right now old titles from like 3 years ago when vr porn was starting?

As a side note... anyone tried to uncensor VR porn like they do on 2d porn or its too high resolution to give a good result?

If they saw Western porn they'd probably be so horrified they'd INCREASE the censorship. It's all horrible tats, disgusting cosmetic surgery, and blown out vaginas.

lolmao500 (sorry, quoting works weird for me): JAV VR content on SLR is both new and old releases. Newer studio additions have sent us hundreds of titles with new batches each month that we're working on getting online. Give it a bit longer and we will be concurrent with DMM for new VR releases (especially with SLR JP opening up *very* soon).

KMP, for example, sent us like a hundred titles that consist of both new and old releases. The first batch is of various genres so we can test them out and see what in particular sells the best and go from there.

 

[lolmao500]

Ah cool. I was just saying that cause recently i went back to the old jav vr i had... and a lot of them are really bad. Low framerate, bad resolution, bad scaling, bad camera... eyes not properly aligned so it hurts your brain... and a bunch of them are very good aside from the video quality compared to todays 4k. So even like 3 years ago they did good stuff but somehow changed the way they did it for some months... they tried stuff... but came back to the good stuff.

Some earlier titles were really hot i wished they were remastered in 4k/60fps or something.

And a dream come true would be for jap studios to provide uncensored versions of their stuff to SLR Murica while keep selling the censored version in Japan... censored vr is enraging for pussy/ass lovers such as myself... what a waste.

Sure, they are. Just as most early adopters of new technology are. It used to be quite a challenge just to get on the internet, then services like Compuserve and AOL showed-up. You guys could be the AOL of VR..... uh, ok, maybe the pornhub of VR

I can understand why people are complaining. The JAV titles on SLR are seriously lacking in quality. They don't at all reflect what I see playing the highest quality versions from the Japanese studios. The majority of the titles I have are 4096x2048 60 fps. What I'm noticing is that in a lot of these videos, the image quality improves greatly when the girls get close, like really close. In these scenes, the background appears somewhat pixelated. For instance, I wouldn't be able to read the clock on the wall. Now, when I compare this to most Western videos, the opposite holds true. I can practically read the print on a package of Doritos at the far end of a room. I'm not sure entirely what this means. But, western producers clearly have a difference in how they believe these should be filmed. Different camera setups? Simply a difference in aperture settings?

Anyway, I think it's a mistake to try to influence the Japanese studios to alter their current content. And, I believe western producers are going down the wrong path. In the beginning, they seemed to be willing to experiment quite a bit. Now, they all seem to have settled on a format they think works well, and it's rather boring. When r/oculusnsfw was more of a discussion group rather than a place for content makers to advertise new releases, I saw producers actively ignoring the many requests from consumers to make available more close-up scenes. They would say things like "hey, that part where the girl came up really close, and looked into my eyes for 10 seconds, then gave me a kiss, was really great. Make more please!". They would say "stop having the girl lean back so far". All these comments were heard with deaf ears. Now, the Japanese seem to get it. And, you're trying to get them to eliminate the super close cowgirl position I find to be the very best out of most of the titles.

There's certainly nothing wrong with putting the files on your device. However, If you choose the highest quality video, the file size is rather large. It takes some time to do the transfer, and the device doesn't have much storage. So, it will fill up rather quickly with just a few titles. I find it easier to put them on my NAS, which has 14 TB of storage

Certainly, you can password protect the content on your computer. Nobody would be able to view them over the WiFi without credentials. Unless of course, you saved the PW in your Oculus, and someone else uses it

SLR isn't like Brazzers in that they make content available from a wide range of different producers. I'd say it's more like a paid version of Pornhub. I recommend installing their app, and viewing preview videos to see if you like it. Inertia can pipe-in if he wants to better explain their business model if he wants.

lolmao500: Let's not use a racial slur when describing JAV studios. Uncensored version of censored JAV contents will sadly never happen.

Popdog: for most of the studios now, we are sent their highest resolution in uncompressed formats. Some of them are even sending us movies that are higher resolution/bitrate than what they send DMM.

 

[Popodog]

West DRM is practically unheard of.

Actually, most of the largest content providers in the west use DRM. Think Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, Disney, etc. Luckily for us, it's not common in porn

I look forward to seeing these

One question about your subscription payment system. There's an option for American Express, however it seems to redirect to PayPal with no support for that account type. Will this be fixed at some point?

BTW, the content you guys are now producing on your own is highly interesting. Technically, it's not quite there yet.... but, has a more amateur sort of feel, with very attractive girls who actually appear to be into it.

Until a studio decides to put their resources into producing strictly uncensored content for the export market. Speaking of such a studio, have you been in contact with whoever is responsible for JVRPorn? Now, there's a content provider that could REALLY use some help. If you could assist them, especially with regard to scaling issues, you guys could gain a lot of JAV fans on SLR.

I should have been more specific. Although, we were discussing porn, so, didn't...feel the....uh...

Haha! Thanks @Popodog !
