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

    Just some update on hardware: I got my Meta Quest 3 today and am pretty impressed. Passthrough is really good (much better then Pico 4 and Quest Pro, thanks to the high quality sensors and depth sensor). I did some JAV Tests and can definitely recommend the headset: biggest plus are the...

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

    tech wise this headset is definitely next generation. Unfortunately Apple is unlikely to support Unreal Engine, so no Heresphere in the near future. Apple probably will also be very careful what kind of content they will allow on the devices (NSFW-stuff) but if its just a vanilla VR/AR-video...

    I think you are right about the colors being more skin-like. 4k JAV almost always had some kind of reddish coloring to it, so i have saturation just for red reduced by 10-15%. I think i got used to that coloring. In comparison the 8k videos do feel more realistic but somehow not so livid. But i...

    was able to try some of the 8k videos: the jump in resolution is clearly visible and much improved from the 4k videos. I am happy to see this resolution (hopefully) becoming the new standard, as finally even action further away from the camera (such as a BJ in a normal position) is quite clearly...

    For me its two aspects: For once 3D videos (no matter how high the resolution) will always be or at least feel less sharp than a 2d video (i read an article about that once, but cannot find it at the moment. it has something to do with the two images never perfectly align). Current videos are...

    I think people are using some kind of modified phone to extract the files. What gives me hope is that the free 8k sample from FANZA was available in 8k though, so there's got to be a way. Totally agree on DRM. In 2D the player doesnt really better but in VR its so different and experience...

    just quoting myself here. I was curious whether the files are actually in 8k, so i partly downloaded some of the files and checked the resolution. Unfortunately they were in 4k. I really hope they find a way to get access to the 8k files somehow. I noticed that afesta added some information...

    Yes i agree with KMPVR, although from a visual standpoint their image quality is always pretty good. At this point i am happy with every studio releasing in 8k. I hope japanese customers will try it instead of worrying that they need an 8k display to benefit from the higher resolution. Right now...

    Yes unfortunately i dont have high hopes. Closure of r18.com was the nail in the coffin for selling to western markets (thanks to the credit card companies and their compliance policies.) KMPVR also teasered that there will be a 8k release soon :) I think there wont be a lack of content for...

    I just noticed that for 8k videos Fanza has a new filter section here https://www.dmm.co.jp/digital/videoa/-/list/=/article=keyword/device=vr/id=307935/limit=120/sort=date/ I forgot to include two videos, that for some reason were released already a month ago (seems to be somehow under the...

    I didnt mean that pancake lenses have a bigger FOV (actually the opposite is true) but the perceived FOV is higher because of the shorter distance to the lens. But thats compared to the Quest 2. Odyssey+ does have a very good FOV, especially the vertical FOV is among the best. Pancake lenses...

    8K is finally here!!! Today a couple of 8k movies have been released on FANZA. I expect them to soon be released as DRM-free downloads :) Todays releases are from 4 different studios. While Moody (MDVR) and Ideapocket (IPVR) should be known to most people. AQUST (aqua) is lesser known and imho...

    I am not sure if they will announce the Quest 3, as its just Metas Gaming Showcase. They might teaser it though. With the Quest devices using a player on the device is the way to go as streaming from the PC (whether wireless or wired) does have compression. The XR2 chip from the Quest2 is...
