some news:

Heresphere Quest 2 version gets subtitle support / New JAV transcription/subbing tool
Finally HereSphere-v0.8. was released and now supports subtitles. The SteamVR version does support it already and finally Quest2-users can use (external) subs as well. srt/ssa and ass files are supported.
Soon i will start creating subs for me videos. Recently in the subtitle thread on Akiba a lot of people seem to have big success using Whisper for creating subtitles. Its an transcribing&translation AI from openAI (the company that created chatGPT) and so far the results seem to be very promising. They are supposed to be much better then subs created with autosub/pytranscriber which is using Google's Text-to-Speech engine and GoogleTranslate or DeepL for translating. For those who are interested, you will find the discussion about Whisper starting on page 214 https://www.akiba-online.com/thread...jsp-not-a-sub-request-thread.1466451/page-214
Also XBVR will soon add subtitle support, so subtitles can be properly linked to a video.

PSVR2 Release - DMM App already available no 8k support right now

PSVR2 has been released and DMM already released an App for PSVR2. According to some twitter users it does not show the 8k Promo video (

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1628289418749689856

). So there seem to be still some problem right now which i hope they will fix soon.
As PSVR2 will probably be sold a lot more than the Quest2 in japan i expect studios to release 8k content soon. Ideapocket already had an 8k release on their website couple of weeks ago (IPVR-206) but it disappeared after a while.

Global Media have shown for a third time within 10 titles of the DPVR-ID that they are reviving mature actresses from either retired or 2D only status and using them for VR titles. Kawakami Yuu stars in DPVR-009 and DPVR-010. I have not seen her in VR for a long time... what i find strange is that the DPVR ID was used in 2017-2019 and had many titles.. now again we have new titles with ID's DPVR-001 to DPVR-010... and they appear to be duplicate ID's with different titles and actresses. Regardless.. reiko kobayakawa in dpvr-005 and 006, chisato shota in dpvr-007 and 008 and now kawakami yuu in dpvr-009 and 010 shows a pattern of matures being revived in vr. All these actresses did VR titles between 2017 and 2019 for Global Media under the DPVR ID. I am now hoping that Yumi Kazama who also did DPVR Titles will return under this label as i have not seen her for a long time with madonna

Everything surrounding this launch is very strange. They released the first titles at 8K resolution on A Festa VR, I bought one with Chisato Shota and it looked amazing. But you could only get it at 8K in the Japanese store, in the English store they are at 4K. Luckily you can buy it on the English one and download it on the Japanese one with the same account.

But strangely, the latest releases are in 6K, they are no longer at 8K.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, all these titles are very bad. The camera is always far away, the sex scenes are always more than 1 meter away from the camera, there are no face to face scenes, and only two types of shot: cowgirl far away and missionary far away.

I will not buy any more titles if they are all like this. For me that's not VR, that's 3D TV. The are filmed like 2018 VRs. We are now in 2023.

Thank you for all the great info shared in here. After browsing through this forum I finally took the plunge and got a Meta Quest 2. What a stunning experience! I signed up to Czech VR & SLS, managed to purchase some titles from Afesta too.

Since I have a decent PC I followed Wallie's expert advice and got the HereSphere player. All wonderful till I purchase some points from DMM, bought Maki Tomoda's VR downloaded the movie files but the HereSphere player doesn't recognize them. It seems you can only play the video with some DMM vr player? tried to download it but no link seem to be active. Any advice on how to play these content linked to a PC? Thank you in advance!!

Welcome to VR!!
There is no turning back, the experience is incredible, another level.

Unfortunately DMM titles are DRM protected, you can only view them in their own player, which is very bad. I think the only way to download them is to install a Chrome plug-in that downloads them as you play them in the browser.

Only A Festa VR sells DRM-free titles that can be downloaded on PC or wherever you want, too bad they only have KMP and SOD VR titles.

I'm a newbie, not to JAV but new to this site, and new to the wonderful world of VR! Just wanted to say Hi and loved reading through some of the convo's on here. Its great to have fans of JAV VR sharing their thoughts, recommendations etc! Great stuff!

I've found that JAV VR is severely lacking gokkun content though which is a shame. The best i've seen are;

If anyone can recommend any more JAV VR swallow or Gokkun vids it'd be hugely appreciated! Thank youl!

Welcome to VR!

Thanks for your recommendations, there are some very good titles there. Unfortunately there is very little gokkun content in VR. Some titles have come out, but I don't have them because I'm not a fan, and I don't remember the iDs. If I see any titles again I'll post them here!!!

Heresphere Quest 2 version gets subtitle support / New JAV transcription/subbing tool

Good news for all Quest 2 users. I've been using subtitles on the PC version for a few months now, which I translated myself with pytranscriber, but the translation is not very good. It only translates 30 or 40% of the texts well. I want to try Whisper, to see how it works.


Of the Sugoi VR awards I only like VRKM-738 and VRKM-794. I can't understand how a movie where the girl wears a mask can be awarded. I don't find anything erotic about that.


I have PSVR2 since last week, although I won't use it for porn. But it's good news that DMM has released an app. Let's see if they finally release the 8K titles they've been promising since last summer.

 

[peejae082007]

Is there a way to enjoy these videos native without having to use a PC (Heresphere)? I'm planning on buying a Pico 4 VR for this purpose but if the experience will not be good unless tethered to a PC, I think I'll hold out for now.

 

[Walle12]

Quest 2 and Pico 4 are standalone glasses, you can use them perfectly without a PC...

 

[peejae082007]

@Walle12 I see, thanks for the response. I guess the Pico 4 VR will still be a good buy for me then. It's available in-stock where I live for about $399 (128GB model). By the way, I'm a bit weirded out how there's no discussion of any good adult VR games - Honey Select 2, AI Shoujo etc. Now that more realistic models are possible because of Unreal Engine 5/Metahuman I think we should now be seeing the next generation of these adult games. Do you know of any forums/threads that discuss games like these?

If it cannot be mentioned here, please PM me the links. Thanks again for keeping this VR discussion alive - I really believe VR is the future for these stuff.

I would not recommend to buy a Pico 4 Headset. One reason would be that the display has a refresh rate of 72hz/90hz. Why is that important? Videos are filmed in 60fps, so you need a display that either match that (60hz) or a multiply of that (120hz, 180hz...) to avoid stuttering. Quest 2 does support 60hz and 120hz.
Another reason would be that there is a version of Heresphere for the Quest2 itself. There wont be a standalone version for Pico4 for quite some time.

At this point (if you want a standalone device) Quest 2 would be the best choice. Although if you are not in a rush, i would highly recommend to wait another 6 months. Thats when Meta most likely will announce the Quest 3. It is using pancake lenses (like the Pico 4) while it most likely will support 120hz as well. It will be more expensive though. If 400$ is your limit you can get the Quest 2 as well. Still a great headset, although 2,5 years old already.

As for games, i think its far from being realistic yet unfortunately. And you would definitely need a powerful gaming PC. I tried the metahuman demo a while ago and the load on my PC was a lot.
If you interested in games (although not JAV focused) i would recommend to join this subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/adultvrgames/

Interesting. I never considered the refresh rate before. Good thing the Quest 2 is priced almost similar to the Pico 4 VR here. I'll check out the sub-Reddit.

Sorry, I don't know any of them. I haven't played any adult VR game. I have no problem talking about them in this thread, if it's VR porn.

 

[Walle12]

I think it is the first VR of Himeno Ran. Very cute girl. A pity they use too much clothes, and no face-to-face missionary...

[darksider59]

I watched PPVR-040 few days ago, with Amakawa Sora.



She's one of my favorite girls (that ass !). I found her stunning, so I was excited to see her in VR. The video itself was okay (the whole B file is just masturbation, so not interesting) but the movie proved that she's really gorgeous. There are some girls I was disappointed from after watching them in VR (not as pretty when you see them "close" to you). Sometimes, it's even the opposite, girls I thought weren't that cute turned out to be really fine in VR (Asahi Mizuno, Julia). That's why I find a new actress and she has VR movies, I check how she looks in VR first VR doesn't lie haha

 

[Walle12]

I like her, too. We needs more VRs with Sora.

You are right, VR doesn't lie... Some girls win in VR, and some lose, over the flat screen. But VR is reality as it is.

VirtualTaboo, a western studio, has releases an uncensored VR with Sumire Mizukawa...

I don't like this studio, no face-to-face scenes, the camera always far away, but it is better than the awful uncensored movies of Carribeancom... And it is a 8K movie...

The scene was pretty meh unfortunately. No different than any other by that studio, and the girl was directed to do generic dirty talking in broken english.

 

[Walle12]

Completely agree. As I said, I don't like this studio at all. It has no idea what VR is.

But it does allow us to see what we are missing out on with the damn censorship... And without 8K releases...

At least they use Real cum. 90 percent of JAV VR if Fake cum. I guess people keep paying for this garbage. I refuse to pay for JAV VR. Yeah yeah VR users don't like men's fluids on women lol, but to support Fake cum use is ok.

 

[glycereth]

OVVR-259 looks great but for some reasons it's nowhere to be found, it's been almost 2 weeks since release.

 

[Walle12]

OVVR is not an official ID, as I know...

It looks like a compilation of rather old titles. Those movies included in OVVR-259 are a few years old now, not a new release.
