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

So the Quest 3, releasing this Fall 2024, will support full color passthrough. That is a game changer for only $500. It's a shame JAV VR hasn't gotten into the passthrough genre yet. It is a bit weird currently because your background is b&w, but once the Quest 3 drops, woah!
 
Personally, I am not interested in passthrough. I'm not interested in seeing actresses in my boring living room or bedroom, it's not believable to me.

On the other hand it has a lot of limitations when shooting movies and adding variety, because you have to position yourself in the same perspective as the camera so that your room matches the angle at which the scene was shot. And as soon as you move or the camera changes in the film, everything gets out of place.

This forces passthrough movies to keep the camera fixed all the time. They are very boring and dull movies.

I find it to be more realistic cause I can see the girl in my ACTUAL room, living room, kitchen, wherever.

From the passthroughs I've watched, it's really not hard or bad to position yourself or the model. You can get them right on top of you and still move your head around. And 99% of all VR porn has the camera stationary so I don't see how a fixed camera in passthrough is a deal breaker.

But to each their own.
 
Well, in a VR movie the camera is not fixed. There are always different types of perspective: doggy, missionary, cowgirl... In a passthrough movie you would have to change position and mimic the camera angle, to keep the right perspective of your room.

And since that is complicated for the user, in the end they all end up being a fixed camera with the actor lying on his back or sitting all the time. For me that's boring and immersion is lost, because they always try not to change the perspective.

But as you say tastes are tastes, everyone has their own. And porn VR needs to be as varied as possible. so passthrough are welcome. even if I won't watch them.

How many people can afford and are willing to pay $3500 to watch porn? They may plan to *ship* 1 million of them but I really doubt they'll *sell* that many.
Plenty of people can, and these things will do a lot more than display porn. I think they'll sell quite a lot of them. ;)
 
Anyone else a huge fan of JAV DVD covers/title cards? They're a really unique art form, and sometimes better than the scene itself.

All the recent Whisper AI speech-to-text stuff got me thinking - wouldn't it be cool if we could translate the text on these covers (at least the significant 'sexy' key words)? It would make them 10x hotter, and be a cool way to learn Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji.

I experimented with an app called VNTranslator...


...but the bright colors and wacky fonts really gave it a hard time (seems like it was trained exclusively on clean high contrast black/white text).

Wondering if there are any other OCR (optical character recognition) tools that would be able to translate these covers? Google vision API maybe (I think it supports Japanese)?
The significant sexy key words are all really easy to learn. Personally, I think they're a lot hotter than their English equivalents ;)

Hey Walle, did you happen to see SIVR-261? It had a few camera angles I found to be highly intriguing, especially the 69 from the perspective of the man being on top. I think that's the first time I've seen that angle in a release. Do you know of any others?

Yes, I have watched it, Yura is one of my favorites and this one have full nudes and face-to-face sex.
There are a lot of VRs with this type of shot (that I love, too). Mostly from 3DS VR, with the director Yazawa Receive.
For example:

DSVR-.1171 (this VR is gold)

Looking forward to this release. Have always felt that Minamo's patience, intensity and attention to her partner will work great in VR

Awesome, thanks! I'll need to check these out, and be on the lookout for more directed by Yazawa Receive.

SOD VR has been releasing a lot of VRs, but mostly very mediocre ones in recent months. Let's hope Minamo's debut is a quality one.

Wow. SOD VR technical quality is just horrid. Minamo is gorgeous, but the quality and camera angles were very distracting.

I liked the face-to-face cowgirl and missionary with Minano, she is so beautiful. But the movie is boring, and the image quality is awful. SOD VR needs to change to the 8K cameras...
