With the Apple Vision Pro, a new VR headset is launched in the United States, which receives great recognition from technology experts. The glasses are particularly popular for their passthrough filter and their ability to record and play 3D videos. Wouldn't that be the perfect basis for a porn revolution?
Is the Apple Vision Pro also suitable for porn?
High pixel density, a rather successful debut of the VisionOS operating system and an exceptionally powerful pass-through filter: the Apple Vision Pro, which was initially only marketed in the United States, impressed the first testers – but with some limitations.
Watch movies on the living room wall and look at virtual monitors in the middle office: the new mixed reality headset can do it all. The Apple Vision Pro films the outside world using a 3D camera and projects it onto the screen.
Whenever new technical advances are presented, the erotic industry is of course not far behind: incredible imaging performance and the ability to merge the virtual and real worlds are probably the best conditions for the next generation of porn.
Production of VR porn began as soon as the first VR glasses appeared, but demand remained manageable. Can Apple Vision Pro change anything?
The potential of Apple Vision Pro for new pornographic experiences
Wherever there is a browser, porn movies are not far away. With Apple Vision Pro, you can access any type of porn site through the browser. Of course, it takes some getting used to, especially if you visit free porn sites. With the familiar thumb and index finger clicks of the Apple Vision Pro, you must first navigate your way precisely through the banner ads until you reach the long-awaited play button.
But aren't paid porn sites the best choice for Apple Vision Pro anyway? After all, in addition to the pass-through filter, it is above all the high resolution that makes the new VR glasses so unique.
It is possible to project your own porn cinema onto the toilet door, bedroom ceiling or bathroom wall using your browser windows. But of course, the impressive hardware really comes into its own when the full view is used and the image floats before your eyes like a gigantic high-resolution screen.
Foveal rendering takes the porn experience to the next level: Apple Vision Pro recognizes where you are looking and displays the image there particularly sharply.
Here's how to watch sex movies with the new Apple Glasses
As with all other VR glasses, with the Apple Vision Pro it is possible to watch VR porn via the VR Porn Sites like Reality Lovers and Co. to watch on the internet. The only thing that needs to be enabled is the well-hidden “Web XR” setting in the Safari browser.
While VR porn on Apple Visio Pro offers unprecedented realism thanks to its high imaging performance, VR glasses lose an important function: most VR porn providers are not yet ready to use Apple Vision Pro. Instead of contact between thumb and index finger, control via a virtual laser beam and mouse pointer is still required to select buttons.
XBIZ Magazine also reports that VR sites are often overwhelmed by Apple Vision Pro – or vice versa. Many VR porn sites crash during playback. However, when this is not the case, the experience must be incredibly realistic.
But be careful: with the Apple Vision Pro, a lot of sounds come out, including the actors' moans. Bluetooth headphones are essential here if you don't want to hear anything behind the door.
Digital security with the Apple Vision Pro is pretty good, as Apple is of course committed to protecting the privacy of its users within the law. With Vision Pro, users can consume pornographic content with the peace of mind that their activities remain confidential.
Vision Pro offers new possibilities for live webcam sex
In addition to VR porn, the Apple Vision Pro could also offer special experiences in AR (“augmented reality”) and sex cams.
Erotic webcams could be broadcast live with 3D glasses. If the actors also wore the Vision Pro, the audience could see through their eyes and slip into their role. By giving live commands to actors or communicating their wishes, they can also actively shape the storyline. Eye/hand tracking guarantees a particularly authentic experience: the viewer does not miss any movement of the camera actors.
In theory, this would already work, but there is still no platform that focuses on such live VR sex shows with the Vision Pro.
And even AR porn, which hasn't come very far yet, is no longer an unimaginable development thanks to passthrough filters. You can project porn stars directly onto your own bed or kitchen table or pole dance in your living room at home.
No pornographic apps in the App Store yet
One big drawback should be mentioned: there probably won't be any special pornographic VR apps for the Apple Vision Pro at the moment, as Apple has always excluded pornographic content from its App Store. The moral decision rests with Steve Jobs. His successor Tim Cook is considered more open – but he has not yet dared to ban pornography in the App Store.
The truly great porn revolution will therefore have to wait a little longer. In the meantime, it's time to open your browser and look at the VR screen in the conventional way. At the moment, you shouldn't necessarily buy the Apple Vision Pro as a pure erotic toy.
However, it's only a matter of time before Google and other tech giants come up with similar products. Just like the first mixed reality porn apps in the App Store. And just because Apple doesn't officially allow pornographic apps doesn't mean no one works there unofficially. The erotic industry has always demonstrated flexibility in the face of new technical advances and in overcoming the corresponding blockages.
