Wondering how everyone is running VR content nowadays

[stront2023]

Seeing as there are several options nowadays which all seem to have their cons and pros I'm wondering what your prefered method is.
I have a Quest 3 and use Virtual Desktop after I ran into issues with Steam Link creating weird artifacts constantly (which may be due to HW limitations and the encoder).

Streaming content, which for me is mostly virt-a-mate, is fairly heavy on my PC because it's also already running the VR game itself which usually already uses up most of my resources.
So I'm wondering how everyone else is dealing with it.

Always wondered what VR porn was like. I guess the lack of responses to this thread is not the best of signs.

not very advanced because it's hard to profit off of, since you need the vr gear and a pc capable of running it, on top of the fact that it's a niche within a niche. Basically it's got little more interactivity than watching a porn video, which sucks because the appeal of it is the inmersion

While I haven't partook in VR porn (yet), the general immersion I get within vr is quite fun, if a bit overstimulating at times. Downbadhorrendous does have a good point though that for a more intimate experience, you kinda need the extra gear which isn't the most affordable even now.

I'm actually kinda surprised that there's such a lack of responses since there's a bunch of people who use VR within the VAM community but I guess I'm kind of in a bubble (all I come to f95z for is VAM related content).

Anyway, non-game VR porn is actually pretty cool nowadays and doesn't really require an extremely high-end PC (needs to be capable of playing 8K videos though for the best experience + good WIFI if you're going wireless). There's "passthrough" VR porn which basically puts the content right in your living room (as in, you are in VR, watching the POV video, and the surroundings are your actual room).

As for game based VR porn, the only thing that has been great for me is VAM. It's basically a sandbox so the content is endless and there's a massive community of people creating "scenes" which are basically tailored experiences (and sometimes actual games with dialogue/choices). These scenes go from vanilla to complete degeneracy as is expected from a porn game sandbox with a ton of assets available.
And with some modifications you even have full blown Quest 3 finger tracking in-game to touch (or tug, grab, etc). There are also plugins that integrate with toys (and AI integration which is kinda meh). Some of these scenes are crazy immersive with voice acting, face tracking, and giving full control of the player character upper body with your controllers/head.
So I disagree with the lack of immersion comment (I mean just look at the videos on

), getting into it just takes a bit of messing around until you get it. But once you get into it (and get quality paid content through f95) there's really nothing else like it.

You shouldn't run with VR, it's dangerous because you can't see where you're going.
