    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?

      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.

        Train surgeons does sound pretty extreme and immersive, but I feel like I’m about to be disappointed by a typo

      ChatGPT/OpenAI also doesn’t allow for AI generated girlfriends as part of their usage policy.

      We truly are living in the worse timeline

        You can always download something like llamacpp or gpt4all and plug in any gguf-compatible nsfw model from huggingface. OpenAI are a bunch of wankers that dont deserve your cum.

    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.

    Well that’s shit. Even my OG Rift can do that.

    Pretty sure there’s an open standard for VR as well (WebXR), Chrome supports it but Firefox doesn’t.

      Lots of smartphones can do VR video too, when you add a set of VR goggles that fit it. Just plain goggles with no electronics that hold the phone in front of lenses that you can strap on your face. It’s simple enough that it should be possible on any VR display system actually.

    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
