Whatever Happened to 3D Porn?

[marcop]

I remember posts here on GFY a few years ago, from a number of programs announcing their new 3D porn sites... did the 3D bubble burst? From Slate.com: http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2014/02/_3_d_porn_it_was_supposed_to_be_the_future_of_the_ industry_what_happened.html

In my discussions with Penthouse this month I was told that they still shoot everything in 3D and have millions of dollars in sales. I think it's crazy but what do I know ;)

[SpicyM]

No fucking way I would put some glasses on to watch porn.. I hate 3D movies in general and I think I only watched one - in the cinema.

[Bourke]

There is a company here in Aus doing it. I've seen it but its really not better than 2D. The tech will have to get a lot better before it becomes anything more than a fad

[paffie]

I still make a couple of 3D sales every week. There are still a couple of companies that produce 3D content, al be it, less than a couple of years ago

[LucyVanAngel]

Once oculus rift is available for the masses (by 2015) everything will be shot in 4K and 3D will be obsolete

[Phoenix]

i used to run a 3d site for a program...people liked it...maybe just for the novelty, but it got sales.

Nobody owns a 3d tv. After consumers spent years upgrading to HD tv they didn't want to turn around and upgrade again to 3d. Pretty simple even if every tv company was praying that would happen. Also 3d porn is kinda stupid, I don't care for 3d movies in general why would I want porn to be 3d

No. One of the biggest benefits of 4K is how it improves 3D performance.

If anything, 4K adoption will lead to a renaissance of 3D technology and content.

Give it five years

[DumpManager]

3D Porn is still a possibility you guys.

Anyone ever heard of the Oculus Rift? It is doing quite well in development. The new prototype is looking amazing. It is more VR than 3D, but with VR, 3D is part of it.

Tenga has even made a game with it to be used with their sex toys.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=nLXVinyXjgA

I imagine lots more will make some fun interactive adult stuff for it. In fact anyone can buy a dev kit and work on it, why don't you guys make something cool

[DumpManager]

Brand new site out there with 3D. 3D surround sound that is.

[Supz]

same thing that happened to 3d everything else. its been around for a long time. its only good for the theaters.

[Scott McD]

I don't even care for 3D movies at the cinema. Never mind 3D porn...

[seeandsee]

i care about 3d if movie is some kind of space movie or adventure like LOTR something like that. But porn is not something i find interesting to watch in 3d

[bronco67]

As long as the girls and action are hot, I don't give a shit if it's 320 by 240 and grainy.

[marlboroack]

I got a bj from a 3d porno

The Consumer Electronics Association says that unit sales of 3D TVs have been growing. 17% of new TVs being sold is still very significant.

The Trojan Horse of 3DTV

At the same time consumers are buying 3DTVs ? even if they don?t really know it. U.S. factory unit sales of 3D-enabled televisions are expected to reach 5.7 million this year. A 39 percent growth from 4.1 million in 2012- and this is after growing by 50 percent in 2012. This year approximately 17 percent of all TVs sold will have 3D functionality. (Source: U.S Consumer Electronics Sales & Forecast, January 2013)

on average, US households buy a new TV every three years and increasingly these TVs have 3D capabilities.

There are 2 types of 3D porn, animated and real. It's unlikely they share the same consumer demographics. So for those who don't like or don't see a future in 3D porn, is it due to the glasses, CGI animation, flying cumshots or something else?

I wholly agree with most of this because there are a number of significant obstacles to 3D porn that 4K and oculus rift devices solve.

3D porn adds an immersive quality, but you need a big screen. You don't have that with tiny cell phones even on a 3D-capable one like the old LG and HTC.

So you gotta watch it on your 3D TV, but who jerks off in front of their TV anymore? And you need to stream it from your computer because current streaming services like netflix and appleTV, don't offer 3D, even of hollywood movies (I think this also prevents 3D adoption of mainstream films)

you want to jerk off in front of your computer, but how many people have those fancy, overpriced 3D monitors? Only rich gamers.

Content-wise, there was no standard-accepted-principles for encoding for the web until recently with either half-over-under for polarized users, and half-side-by-side for shutters.

The other day I saw a huge spike in traffic to an old 3D site I ran. The analytics showed it was oculus rift developers downloading 3D porn. :P

OK, enough boring text. Here's some 3D behind the scene pics from recent shoots:

I thought the saying was, "too much masturbation caused blindness"? Now you wear them to masturbate?

[adultmobile]

LIvejasmin had a "3d cams" section years ago. I think it required old style colored glasses. No one cared at that, so the section gone. As someone else noted, until people have not 3d displays in notebooks, 3d is unlikely to be mainstream.

[dionisfox]

We shoot everything, video and photo in 3D. I couldn't say that all our members are 3D porn lovers, but I think about third or so...

+1 on PH shooting everything in 3D. Smart move for the future.

Is it though? You have to think, by the time it actually becomes popular, there will 3d cameras capable of alot more because it doesn't take them long to come out with better quality gear when its in demand. So all their content will just be shot with dated technology.

Only reason i see for doing it right this second is cornering the small market and working out the kinks and learning the niche so that when the time comes, you can get off to a start with some knowledge, possibly branding yourself as the company that works in 3d so that when it does become popular, affiliates and members will goto you first. But that benefit is still minimal since getting into a market is pretty easy if you have been successful in others. Im sure manwin could jump in as soon as its popular and take it over. Meanwhile other people were waiting around putting money into a niche that right now, isn't as profitable as others

Manwin owns 3dporn.com so theyre definitely ready for when it does become popular but are they really wasting money shooting it all with currently available gear? not quite sure but i dont see it being that beneficial

Right here

3D movies pop up every so often and they are neat for a little bit but the public gets very tired very quickly. And they only really work in the cinemas, home 3D is a rotten.

[2MuchMark]

Here's an idea:

3D film makers: 3D sucks for the most part, but sometimes it can be made to pop. Watching 2 or more people fuck in 3D is just the same as in 2D because there's barely any depth to the shots, which waste any money you spend shooting or transforming it into 3D. Flat is flat is flat.

So why not try this: Make some POV scenes in 3D. A nice pair of boobs can pop-out of the screen nicely. Even better if she has longer or pointy nipples. If you shoot gay porn, a penis will appear to stick far out of the screen too if shot correctly.

To prove my point, try to remember your favourite 3D scenes from 3D movies. Remember "Friday the 13th Party 3 in Super 3D"? Jason the killer crushes some guys head and pops his eyeball out right through the screen. It was a great effect. If you can find ways to do this in 3D porn movies, you will have something interesting.

[Rochard]

I don't think the majority of people want to see anything in 3D. I don't like 3D movies in general; They give me headaches.

You're going to find most people will have only watched one 3d film for the gimmick factor of it then not watched any more.

Same here, it's more annoying than enjoyable.

I can't imagine surfers jerking off with 3d glasses on..

[JayAllan]

The funny thing is most porn shooters shoot everything so flat anyway Fucking soft boxes all around the lens Even Penthouse stuff is all shot super flat with no depth at all. Get some dynamic lightning on the fucking models and the image looks more 3D than the flat shit shot with 3D cameras

Yep. 3DXChat - the most innovative 3D sex game of the year already features the support for Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Headset.

3d movies are a gimmick, once i've seen it once i didnt feel the need to see movies in 3d again.
This weekend I wanted to go to the theatre to watch a movie, turned out they only showed the 3d version. Didn't go.

Since Facebook bought Oculus Rift a couple of weeks ago, how's their anti-porn policy going to affect you?

Will see. Oculus Rift is completely useless without VR content. I'm sure that VR sex will develop quickly. Take a look at http://oculusrealporn.com/

Anyone tried oculusrealporn with an actual device on head and how it looks like?
Perhaps 3d live cams for oculis rift, if proper capture device on girl's room (which pantilts following the head of the guy, not just 3d) it could be interesting - of course worth only if there will be million+ of oculus right sold.

[DumpManager]

Mojang cancelled their Minecraft Oculus version, which was going to be free I think.

Hi SexGameDevil,
Can someone over at your program contact me by email? Need to speak business.
Hope to talk to you soon. Have a good one.

[VRPdommy]

It seems I need to correct your thinking
so others do not get the wrong idea about VR...

There is no VR without 3D. IT REQUIRES stereoscopic 3D for effect.

3D MEDIA CAN BE VIEWED IN VR AND IS VERY VERY NICE,
BUT 3D IS NOT VR BY ITSELF.
Keep your 3D media, it has/adds value to VR HMD's/Goggle

[VRPdommy]

Minecraft sold to Microsoft for 2.5B
Coming to Oculus ? As history shows, It is likely Microsoft will develop it's own VR Goggle and as in the past, find some way to keep it from displaying well on the Rift.

[SBJ]

well hello old thread..

I have a 55" samsung 3d tv and love true 3d movies on blu ray 3d but i don't think i'd watch 3d porn. Back when I used a 106" screen with HD projector I couldn't watch porn on it. haha I don't want to see a 4 foot cock on my home tv and I sure don't want to see jizz flying my way in 3d

[scubadiver626]

3d porn on my vr Sony headset is sweet.

Like a mini Imax and the tech is getting better.

That's interesting, very interesting. Will look into it:D

Rift...

It will not take off for porn, not just from the FB acquisition either.

If you guys remember last year there was a company in Irvine, CA developing content using the developer only versions (and pre-release) Rift from Occulus VR.

I was part of that team.

The launch was a viral success...it was picked up by Reddit, major news outlets even Discovery Channel, Fox....gamers went nuts.

California startup creating first generation of "adult entertainment" for Oculus Rift

The concept was solid, we had a few levels done for the Rift (enough for proof of concept) but the reality is there needed to be more. The problem also was ROI and from a business standpoint due to overhead the cost of developing each individual release/project, it was a major issue (in my mind at least). Montenization was always a big concern, since we were potentially first in market there was and is no benchmark.

This was something that could have been great really, especially since there was such a demand for it, but the risk was heavy. We hired and relocated developers and level designers from ID Software and other really top notch companies even.



If you ever have used a Rift it's quite an experience (almost to the point of barfing for some people), executing that with porn is totally different thing. The people we "tested" the unit were underwhelmed and wanted to get off so there was a missing element. One guy said he'd rather jack off and look at a big monitor.

3D porn, VR porn the thing that could make it really big is a physical element (Real Touch/Fleshlight/etc.) which would add costs to an end-user in the end. The tits on the girls were amazing though, especially since they were motion captured for ultimate "breast shaking movements".

[datingfactory.xxx]

I invested in the domain 3dstrippoker.com just if.....

[thecatwrites]

3D should be nice if your screen is as big as the theaters

Pity it was not released. So many cool stuff not released anyway, that's how things goes.

I could not imagine a punk who will watch adult movies/images stereo glasses. That idea was a dead horse since 90's. Yes, the first adult stereo image sites were online at the end of 20's century, and they all were closed because the lack of interest
