Betamax VR.

It works, you just have to adjust a few settings.

Apps > Safari > advanced > features flags

And you need to turn these 3 things on WebXR Device API, WebXR Augmented Reality Module, and WebXR Gamepads Module.

Well that's shit. Even my OG Rift can do that.

Pretty sure there's an open standard for VR as well (WebXR), Chrome supports it but Firefox doesn't.

Lots of smartphones can do VR video too, when you add a set of VR goggles that fit it. Just plain goggles with no electronics that hold the phone in front of lenses that you can strap on your face. It's simple enough that it should be possible on any VR display system actually.

A friend of mine wants to know how that works....

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well I wouldn't know, but my friend tells me that if you go to https://vr.stripchat.com/ , put on your headset, click the big Enter VR button and then click allow, then you will be connected to a bunch of ladies who definitely are not Russian despite all being quite Russian, but also do not care much for wearing clothes.

In surprisingly high detail and framerate at that.

My friend appreciates your friend. 🖖

I'm confused, are there no media player apps for the apple headset? Any such app would allow for playing vr videos

The porn only plays on a flat screen. It doesn't support 180 or 360 degree video.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah that's what I don't get. Vr porn videos are a thing, so the only way this could be an issue would be if apple isn't allowing any 3rd party media apps and doesn't support playing vr videos on their default app. Which is really, really weird for a vr headset

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Maybe it is weird but Apple is master of limiting users' choice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

It's almost like apple just takes established products and adds a ton of DRM to them until they are unusable for a large amount of the uses the original product had.

Well then WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT I just wanna pretend to have sex with my ai generated girlfriend. But here I am COCKBLOCKED BY TIM FUCKING COOK.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

ChatGPT/OpenAI also doesn't allow for AI generated girlfriends as part of their usage policy.

We truly are living in the worse timeline

You can always download something like llamacpp or gpt4all and plug in any gguf-compatible nsfw model from huggingface. OpenAI are a bunch of wankers that dont deserve your cum.

Who is Tim and why is he fucking the cook

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Thank you very much Tim Apple

If you want porn get an Android

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Not even the phone. Just a real, literal android.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Or literally anything else with a screen
