Google Searches For 'VR Porn' Increase 10,000% (vrtalk.com) 80
Slashdot reader Bob768 writes: Over the last 20 months, with the rise of virtual reality technology, the number of Google searches for the phrase 'VR Porn' have soared nearly 10,000%. The leading country for these searches is Norway.
Last November searches for the term experienced the "spike of all spikes", according to a post on the VR Talk forum, which also identifies the top cities (two in Australia) for the searches -- Helsinki, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Singapore, Tel Aviv, and Seoul.

Well, right now the vive is the one with the best screen/head tracking.

Only directional tracking is important because VR porn is currently just video from a fixed VR camera. You can't actually move around in the scene.

Let me guess : you're a guy, and you've never acknowledged the "feminine side of your nature".
I'm a guy, who knows by experience that I prefer poking women to poking men, and I don't get anything from "anal play" myself. I find the idea of "be the girl VR porn" interesting. For one thing, it'll completely change the extremely stereotyped mainstream porn industry. It might actually open a whole new market of porn for women which act

I make it three in Australia. Unless they mean Melbourne (in Derbyshire or Florida or Quebec or other places) or Sydney (in Nova Scotia or British Colombia) or Brisbane (in California). This appears unlikely.

The Facebook Rift is actually shipping now, but I'm partial to the Vive. You'll need to purchase Virtual Desktop to watch 3D videos on the latter.

Check out this [kinkvr.com], shot from a girl's PoV. You'd think looking down at your chest and having a girl's breasts would be weird--unless you are a grill, I s'pose (inb4 >slashdot), or unless your physique lends itself to man boobs.
But it was having a girl's arms that freaked me out.
I mean, I'm no Yao Ming, but I'm tall. I have large hands and long fingers, though
Not a useful metric. (Score:3)

The way that article was written, it may just be one airline pilot that was anticipating getting his vr set, and now he's finally gotten it and is really excited.

Selling 11 copies of something this year versus 1 last year is 1000% growth! Unless the total sold in the denominator was significant, growth is a terrible metric.
20 months ago VR headsets were developer betas only, so I would guess the number of searches relative to all porn searches was miniscule. I am willing to bet the number is still miniscule, just not quite so as before. Whoop.

How about you try to correlate it with number of VR sets in those countries.

Probably the biggest blunder is to not have porn available. This, combined with the fact that the resolution needs to at least double .. it's no wonder VR will fail this time around as well.
I think we have to wait till the year 2035 -- at least for there to be usable VR. If they had made more porn apps .. the investment would have allowed VR tech to advance to the point of being usable by 2020.

Yes there is. There is a VR section on PornHub.
There is still not much because it is a new thing and it requires significantly different filming techniques.
