One development that probably won't surprise anyone at all is to use the Oculus Rift virtual reality device for immersive, 3D pornography. Many people think about it, but no one mentions it. But today we had the first official "report" from Palmer Luckey according to VB.
The odd thing about this story is that the platform is owned by Facebook known for its zero need for any kind of pornography.
"The Oculus Rift είναι μια ανοιχτή πλατφόρμα. Εμείς δεν θα μπορούμε να ελέγχουμε τι κάνει το λογισμικό και τι μπορεί να τρέξει σε αυτό", δήλωσε ο ιδρυτής της Oculus Palmer Luckey σε μια συνέντευξη που έδωσε σήμερα στο San Jose, σύμφωνα με το Variety. Η συγκεκριμένη δήλωση ήρθε σαν απάντηση στην ερώτηση σχετικά με τις δυνατότητες που προσφέρει η συσκευή σε περιεχόμενο adult, όπως πορνογραφικό gamea, 3D porn movies, or interactive virtual reality sex apps.
It's a surprise really, given Facebook's lewd stance on artistic pornography photos, the breastfeeding photos, or even the mastectomy and tattoo photos on his website.
It should be noted, however, that Oculus and Facebook will control the apps distributed through the Oculus Store, whose terms of services prohibit pornographic content.
But if you're a porn star developer, you have some other distribution channel and want to use for porno VR apps, Oculus obviously can not do anything to stop you.
Oculus Rift is an 3D device that has been developing for years. Facebook acquired Oculus for about 2 two-dollar 2014. The gadget will be commercially available after the first quarter of 2016, as reported by Facebook, and only for high-end Windows computers.
