\nVR Bangers says its new camera rig captures a 300-degree field of view without being intrusive for the performers.<\/p>\n

VR Bangers <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Forget film crews rolling cameras in a velvet-draped cabana. The future of pornography could one day be a terrifying VR-camera-spider-helmet. <\/p>\n

Los Angeles-based VR Bangers, which produces and distributes VR adult entertainment, on Tuesday released a concept design for its new VR capture camera rig, and it offers a surreal insight into the potential future of VR porn<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The company says the rig, which is shaped like a futuristic crash helmet, is fitted with seven cameras that shoot in up to 8K resolution, all positioned around the front and sides to capture a 300-degree field of view. There are two built-in binaural microphones, as well as a camera-stabilisation system.<\/p>\n

But the company says the biggest selling point is the screens on the interior of the helmet, which stream footage to the adult performer wearing it in "real time".<\/p>\n

That feature becomes more of a selling point when you consider the previous iteration of VR Bangers' camera tech: a bald mannequin head with cameras for eyes that looks like it's about to get ferried across the river of the dead in the underworld. <\/p>\n

\nVR Bangers' previous VR camera capture technology was\u2026 surreal.<\/p>\n

This is very much a proof of concept \u2014 the company says it's created a working prototype (with a 3D-printed helmet) that it's currently testing, but there are no plans to sell the "proprietary tech" to other companies.<\/p>\n

"As VR is becoming more commonplace, it is very much a competitive field with a few main players," VR Bangers marketing director Igor Zhivago said via email. "So far we are choosing to maintain our competitive edge and using these rigs for our productions exclusively."<\/p>\n

But while the Head Rig 2.0 has been used in filming, its big success could well be as a marketing gimmick to sell prospective audiences on the possibilities of immersive and interactive adult entertainment in the 21st century.<\/p>\n

And as an industry, VR porn is on the rise. According to 2017 statistics from adult website Pornhub<\/a>, reported by The New York Times<\/a>, daily VR porn viewership numbers on the site rose a massive 250 percent within the first year of Pornhub hosting VR videos.<\/p>\n

Other companies are also trying to get in on the cutting edge of adult entertainment. Firms like Naughty America are promising a future of sex toys with haptic feedback<\/a> and experiments in augmented reality, while California-based Abyss Creations is working on RealDolls<\/a> sex dolls that incorporate artificial intelligence so they can chat with their owners.<\/p>\n

But while the Head Rig 2.0 shows the possibility of the adult entertainment industry, it also reveals a central truth of the business: filming sex isn't always sexy.<\/p>\n
