Technical Terms to Know Within VR Porn
Within the newly booming field of Virtual Reality and more specifically VR Porn there can be some new terms to be aware of when surfing to find your favorite and the best paid VR Porn sites.
Virtual Reality Vs. Augmented Reality
You may have heard both these terms being used ..but what do they really mean and what’s the difference?
First off: Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality is when you use for example a headset to create a artificial (virtual) that you can interact with to a certain extent. A great example of this is you putting on your headset, putting on some great porn and then have the ability to look around 360 degrees, get every steamy detail and feel like being a part of the porn movie.
Secondly: Augmented Reality
Augmented reality is like a mixture of Virtual Reality and real life where you have a sense of being part of both worlds so to say. An example of this is the much talked about Google Glass which provides a sort of heads up display for you to have data displayed in real life. Another example is the popular Pokemon Go where players can hold up their phone, activate the camera and see/catch pokemons that are placed in the landscape in front of them.
The “Field of View” (or FOV)
When you’re watching your VR Porn or when deciding which VR Porn site to pay for the Field of View (FOV) is something to be aware of. Normally VR Porn movies either come in 180 or in 360. These numbers indicate how wide an angle you are able to view the porn. Of course videos offering a FOV of 360 degrees can be more realistic and immersive than 180 degree videos.
Binaural Sound
This new way of recording and listening to sound connects the sound to your Virtual Reality experience by changing the sound according to the direction of your view. By doing this VR Porn watched with Binaural Sound provides a more realistic experience than “normal” sound.
Devices supported
It’s important to be sure, that YOUR device is supported before paying for your favorite VR Porn. There is a good chance that the main devices are supported as the producers of VR Porn focus on an increasing amount of platforms. In spite of this keep an eye out for the support of two main categories: Dedicated VR Headsets and Smartphone enabled VR Headsets.
Dedicated VR Headsets
These are the headsets, that work “as is” so to say. This means they hook up to either your PC or console to get the magic happening. These devices include Sony PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
Smartphone enabled VR Headsets
