Apple’s new virtual reality headset, which costs $3500, sadly cannot play VR porn

    Isn’t allowing the porn industry to be able to use your hardware crucial for widespread adoption? Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the fact that Betamax and HDDVD did this was one of the factors for their loss of market share?

      Your not wrong. After all, that’s why Google blew up, and Nintendo.

    Tbh I can’t think of any applications for this product that don’t involve porn

      I play elite dangerous in VR as well as several other sims. (Including a proper training sim for RC aircraft with a connected TX.)

      If you go full hog with physical switches and everything positioned perfectly…. It can be extremely immersive technology. Like train surgeons immersive.

        Porn sounds cheaper and less embarrassing to explain to a date.

          Not really. She knows I’m a nerd. Not that I can afford a set up like that, but, I wouldn’t mind it.

    Im so confused why this wouldn’t work and I didn’t see anywhere in the article the actual reason. Can anyone explain it better? Can you not just play a vr video file? Is it blocking the sites? I’m just confused.

      My understanding is that it allows you to play planar video from a website, but not (yet?) side-loaded videos that are spherical/hemispherical. And the latter is what these people really wanted for this application.

        I saw another comment earlier that said its easy to switch on WebXR, which enables VR Porn, it’s just disabled by default.

      They’ll just monitor everything you watch or do on it and detect anything NSFW.

      I wish this was a /s but I can definitely see it happening since they’d have to ban the whole Internet to keep any sites with NSFW content from playing

    It works, you just have to adjust a few settings.

    Apps > Safari > advanced > features flags

    And you need to turn these 3 things on WebXR Device API, WebXR Augmented Reality Module, and WebXR Gamepads Module.

    VR tech is still too new for it to have mass appeal, the tech has to come down in price first before anything will happen in this space

      VR has been around as a technology for decades.

      We are now at a point where people can walk around with a VR headset in without dying.
