JAV VR: News, comments about releases, recommendations, hardware

[Walle12]

I am still hoping for japanese studios upgrading their cameras to 8k this year

You are very optimistic. I am not. I don't think Japanese companies will upgrade their cameras in 2022. On the contrary we are getting worse image quality every year, since 2020. They are releasing titles that look terrible.
I think we will still be stuck with 4K resolution and a pitiful bitrate in 2022. I hope I'm wrong.

Unfortunately encoding time is crazy, upscaling this 10second scene to 8k took me almost 2 hours.

With what hardware?

You can use it very well as an PCVR headset (USB-C or Wireless airlink/Virtual Desktop). I didnt noticed any quality difference comparing to my Odyssey plus that i had before.

When connected to a PC, the Quest 2 does not output direct image, it uses compressed streaming video, and the image quality suffers.

On the other hand Facebook is the devil, I will never buy anything from them. I'm waiting for someone else to release some modern glasses, hopefully Valve soon.

I'll check out that lactation video. I have a couple that feature a little bit, but not as the main focus.

Today has been released a new lactation VR at A Festa VR, NHVR-172:





And a recommendation: SIVR-193 (Download).

Incomprehensibly S1 NO 1 Style has been releasing very mediocre VRs for three months now, poorly shot, boring, full of clothes and with distant and outdated camera shots, more typical of 2018 than now.

But they seem to be waking up a bit. In SIVR-193 they use a white background so you're not distracted by anything, and there are two scenes in one take, meaning no cuts. Just you and the wonderful Miru. I liked it a lot.

SexLikeReal (SLR) has announced their plans for 2022. They are starting to shoot with true 8K cameras, and they are going to use depth maps:

If it works as expected we can resolve the most common video issues, such as the visuals going cross-eyed when objects get close to the camera. This means you can forget about your eyes becoming strained, and it also means we can introduce 6DOF for all videos in the next step forward.

I understand this means that we can move inside the video!!! This could be awesome!!!

If I am talking about SLR here it is because they are going to shot JAV, SLR style, right now!!!. This means JAV at true 8K!!! It will be censored, because is the only way they can film with all the JAV stars, but at least we can have real JAV at 8K very soon:

We are planning to start production of SLR JAV Originals. We’re currently finishing the latest preparations for this.

SLR is filming good VRs, it is almost the only western VRs I watch, because they "copy" some JAV VR shots. SLR JAV Originals could be epic, and can force JAV VR companies to upgrade to 8K, too...

They have been teasing JAV production since 2020, so my hopes are not very high. But if they manage it, it has the potential to be amazing. The most basic, vanilla jav scene shot with their rig would already be a win. And they are maybe the only western producer that isn't afraid to try new things.

 

[Walle12]

It is true that they have been saying it since 2020, but I think that if we still don't have SLR JAV Originals it is because of Covid, not because of SLR.

The thing is that in their 2022 to-do list they say "we are with the final preparations", so it looks like this time it's for real.

If it's not spoiled by the Ukraine invasion or whatever other misfortune befalls us.....

Holy shit, a lactation focused one... that looks awesome.

In the flatlands there are a lot of false advertisements... show milk but it'll just be one squeeze with a few drops.

 

[Walle12]

I have bought 3DSVR-1120 at A Festa. It is one of the best lesbian VRs in years... if you want to be a woman... It has three hours of lesbian sex.




I prefer a movie where you are the guy who watch the girls doing lesbian sex from up close. Because if you are a woman and another woman is licking your pussy.... well, you don't see anything...

But it is interesting to put yourself in a girl's "head" and see that you have big boobs with awesome nipples....



Luckily being a trio, at least there are two girls doing things with each other:




Only to watch the awesome lesbian kisses between the cute Shirato Hana and Yokomiya Nanami, it’s already worth the money:






And it has some original camera angles:



Essential VR if you like lesbian sex.

I hope SOD VR release more lesbian VRs. I'll buy them all.

 

[penguinbutt]

Can't wait to try out 3DSVR-1120, currently stuck in quarantine for a couple weeks and don't have my gear with me. Exciting to see great new VR films come out. A big fan of Mikako Abe, 3DSVR1114 also looks great with a lot of saliva swapping between girls.

Yes there is but as i said, using Airlink with Wifi6 the compression is not really noticable imho.
I dont like meta/facebook either but right now the Quest2 is the rational choice for the pricetag. I am positive that we will see more competition this year/next year (PSVR, Apple, Samsung(?))

I really like the ideas/creativity of NHVR but their cameras are sometimes just terrible. Movies from that studio are either a hit or miss.

The main intent of the depth maps are fixing the cross-eye effect. Here is a recent video from SLR showing the result. https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/fixing-cross-eye-effect-26197

For it has never really been a real issue, as you have that effect in reality as well to some degree imho.

For 6dof i would be really conservative. I have seen some attempts and they are still very experimental. To some degree 6dof is possible today already with Heresphere.

I've also seen and been waiting for the SLR JAV last year as they announced it before, i am just glad they havent discarded that plan entirely. I am not just excited for the SLR JAV 8k (i hope the get an experienced director), but rather excited for the possible impact on other studios pushing them towards 8k.

Talking about Heresphere, I am happy that they finaly released the Quest 2 version ( https://sidequestvr.com/app/7523/heresphere-vr-video-player ). $30 might be steep but for me its definitely worth it as it finaly solves the problem of organizing my library.

HereSphere works really well with the WebUI from XBVR so i can finally browse my content by thumbnails and use search, filters, categories etc. For me thats even a bigger deal than the alignment fixing, as my IPD is pretty average and JAV is mostly well aligned.

I will be even more excited when he will add subtitle support, so i can finally create subtitles and get an idea whats being talked about in the movies.

3DSVR-1120 is great for the kisses and the cute girls, but it has little saliva if you like it, the lesbian sex is soft and you don't see the pussy because you are the girl... It is the reason I like much more old titles like 3DSVR-0291 or 3DSVR-0315 where you are a man watching or licking nipples with the other girl, not a woman. And the lesbian sex is much better.

But there are only a few lesbian VRs now, so I buy all the titles even if the old titles are much better.

Mikaki Abe is great and she has good VRs. 3DSVR-1114 looks very good.

Good luck with the quarantine, without your gear it must be a torture... We can't live without JAV VR now....

I dont like meta/facebook either but right now the Quest2 is the rational choice for the pricetag

Yes, it is doing a lot to make VR more popular, and above all to make VR porn more comfortable and affordable. I hope the japaneses will gradually abandon smartphone VR, which is crap, and adopt Quest 2, and force companies to use more resolution.

The main intent of the depth maps are fixing the cross-eye effect. Here is a recent video from SLR showing the result. https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/fixing-cross-eye-effect-26197

You are right, they want to fix cross-eye effect, like HereSphere. For me it has never been a problem, when it appears it is enough to close an eye.....
But it's good that they fix it, so we will have kisses and closer cameras, which are a taboo in western VRs.

I am not just excited for the SLR JAV 8k (i hope the get an experienced director), but rather excited for the possible impact on other studios pushing them towards 8k.

I think SLR can shoot good JAV VRs , but like you I hope that serves to make the Japanese companies envious (and embarrassed) of how their VRs look, and force them to make the jump to 8K.

Talking about Heresphere, I am happy that they finaly released the Quest 2 version

Good news. HereSphrere is the player I use on PC VR. It is not cheap but it is well worth it. And it's the best to organize your library, as you say.

I will be even more excited when he will add subtitle support, so i can finally create subtitles and get an idea whats being talked about in the movies.

How do you create English or other language subtitles from a Japanese video? That would be my dream...

 

[tim-o-tea]

Mikaki Abe is great and she has good VRs. 3DSVR-1114 looks very good.

She will retire though soon, https://www.zenra.net/blog/farewell-jav-retirements-of-2021

How do you create English or other language subtitles from a Japanese video? That would be my dream...

There is a big thread discussing subititles: https://www.akiba-online.com/thread...subtitle-talk-not-a-sub-request-thread.12173/

Basically most people use a tool called autosub. Its using the Google SpeechToText Engine to create a written transcript of the video. Some versions of that tool also have automatic translation (via Google translate) implemented.

For my first tests i used a GUI-version of the tool called pyTranscribe. You basically just select the video and you will get a (japanese) SRT-subtitle file. I then use a selenium script somebody created to translate this subtitle to english using DeepL (you can find it in the thread above). Translations from DeepL are better than Google translate imho.

But dont expect too much from the translations, there is still a lot of wrong translations, but overall its better than nothing and in conjunction with the (translated) summary from DMM i think it gives a better feeling of the plot and whats going on. And thats enough for me.

In that thread there are some people who put a lot of manual labour into creating really good subtitles but given my library and the time consumption it would take me forever.

Unfortunately the biggest hurdle is to display subtitles correctly. I wasnt able to display them correctly in 3D-180-SBS videos with PigasusVR, afaik DeoVR does not support subtitles so far, so right now i am waiting for support in HereSphere. I dont know about Whirlgig though.

I will miss Mikaki Abe, but for me the tragedy is that in the list is Yui Nagase... She is one of my favorite VR actresses, I will miss her so much....

Thanks for the info, I'll try it... Even if I can't insert the subtitles in the video, reading the script at least I'll have an idea of what they're talking about....

It really is sad to see these favourite actresses retire, especially with better VR movies being made and to know we will never get to "be" with them is just double hurtful. My favourite this year that disappeared all of a sudden was Amu Amatsuka, every one of her titles were amazing and she's just so natural and pretty...sad sad.

 

[Walle12]

We must respect their decision because it is their lives, and their profession is not an easy one.

But it hurts, in our case, if they have not shot good VRs. For example Mikaki Abe and Nagase Yui have some good VRs, but Amu Amatsuka hasn't shot any...

Unfortunately it will be 6k not 8k but still i hope to see a boost in quality

[Walle12]

Well, SLR has announced that they have already started shooting in 8K, so it's possible that when they shoot in Japan, it will already be at 8K.

EDIT: I have read the reddit post now, you are right, they confirm 6K shots.

But even if it is 6K, their 6K movies look spectacular, light years ahead of JAV VR 4K, so it would still be a big leap in quality.

For the fans of Hitomi, she returns to VR!! PPVR-027, out in April.

I don't watch enough JAV to know many stars yet... I'm going to look for some of hers.

 

[Walle12]

She is famous for her big tits... She has only 1 or 2 VRs.

 

[Walle12]

If you like Yuki Rino, with her awesome body, perfect skin and real sweat, she is perfect in WAVR-217 (Download). Awesome face-to-face sex scenes, and a lot sweat. Some real, some fake, but most of it is real:






And my favorite camera shot:

Pure gold. Recommended.

Yuki doesn't disappoint. She was appearing in many scenes recently, too.

My recent favorite is FCVR-029 with Rena Momozono.

She's pretty new to vr, but she's a great performer. I hope she will shoot more soon. She has an amazing curvy body and i love her expressions. The scene is mostly focused on closeup angles, so its very intimate throughout.
