Verotel starts distributing VR headsets to adult entertainment consumers
 

SITGES, SPAIN - March 2nd 2016. Verotel, the payment facilitator based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, announced today during the European Summit in Sitges, Spain, that it will start distributing Virtual Reality cardboard headsets to customers of its merchants offering VR content. The Verotel cardboard headsets can be used in conjunction with a smart phone to view recorded or live VR content. Since these headsets are neutrally branded and shipped in discreet packaging, they allow a larger audience access to adult VR content and create a higher revenue stream for the merchants.

Since its introduction in 2014, VR Cardboard headsets have found few practical uses because of the classic chicken-or-the-egg problem. The availability of VR headsets has reduced the prospective growth of VR content production. Now that high-resolution smart phones are more widely available, more and more people are able to consume VR content with the help of a simple cardboard box. Increasing the availability of these headsets will boost the VR content production industry.

â??Virtual Reality content is really happening right nowâ?�, says Jason Collins, Senior Business Development Manager at Verotel, â??it is more immersive and offers a better experience than traditional video and merchants are able to charge more and attract a wider audience. Until now however, the process of getting those VR headsets to consumers was often discouraging. In order to deliver the cardboard boxes to the consumerâ??s door, online merchants needed to develop a specific ordering and shipping process or send their visitors to an external website. This dramatically affects conversion and profitability. With Verotelâ??s seamless integration within the order page, all of its merchants are able to deliver the VR headsets in a non-intrusive way, improving the further demand for VR content.â?�

The new VR headset distribution service is available from May 17th 2016 for all merchants offering VR content. As an extra incentive, Verotel also invites VR-only merchants to join its VR Pioneer Program and benefit from free cardboard boxes for all of their customers. As a first-day supporter of VR technology, Verotel is betting that the widespread distribution of VR headsets will have a positive effect on the industry as a whole.

What will they think of next...:thumbsup and I do not even know what Virtual Reality content is... Unless they are the imaginary females looking for sex on all of the dating sites?? I better go and check the educational series section:thumbsup

Yes, we have sites that are now shooting in VR and of course, we are accepting sites that already have VR content for the Verotel VR Pioneer Program.

You have got an email

You stick a piece of cardboard on your head and watch VR porn?

Responded! :thumbsup

It's a start! :2 cents: Of course there are other options that are coming available, but we wanted to find a way to deliver this as quickly as possible and at an affordable price point to help encourage the birth of something awesome! :pimp

If someone has Oculus Rift, is that compatible too?

I don't think so... I think Oculus is its own breed... Correct me if I am wrong.

Cool - Can you share any sites that are distributing them? - Gay for me, but I am sure I am not the only one who would like to know...

Distribution starts May 17 :thumbsup

We will definitely be pushing these sites closer to launch.

Sorry, I should have read ALL the OP:upsidedow...

Nice to see you guys are moving on forward with this!
Keep it up

Verotel ahead of the curve. :thumbsup

Glad to see all the positive responses! :thumbsup

We are really excited about VR and the potential it can have on the industry! :2 cents:

Pretty FASSSSSSSSSSSSSSST :Graucho

Just Googled it ( and Youtubed it) just like 3D. :)

Already received very cool reactions here at the European summit. Will keep everyone up to date (concerning affiliates etc)

no, no, no...

everyone who says it's like 3D has never used a VR headset

and nice move, Verotel!

VEROTEL is always innovating and ahead of the trends...in fact they often SET THE TRENDS!

We have used them for well OVER a DECADE and received weekly payments with never a delay or missed payment!

Thanks for continually to push the envelope and assist BOTH businesses and our customers!

I can only assume that they will :pimp

Right now a lot of producers are shooting so we won't make any official announcements about who is, unless of course they officially make the announcement. We don't want to steal anyone's thunder. :2 cents:

Thanks for the continued support man! Really appreciate it! :thumbsup

Thanks man! We're trying! :pimp :thumbsup

I also responded to you rather quickly. There was just somethings out of my control that may have delayed any reaction from my side!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Nice:thumbsup

Fantastic! I test drove a "Gear" setup over the weekend and was blown away. I had NO IDEA it would look that good. I can imagine teens (ahem) growing up watching VR will have a hard (soft?) time getting off to regular "flat" video and photos after a while.

The concept of wanking is definitely evolving! :jerkoff :1orglaugh

Holding the headset with one hand, dick with the other and the lube!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ours comes with a headband for a hands free operation! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Today we've reached the first 1.000 headsets to send out!!! More are on their way!!!
