VR Porn and AI
AI VR Porn
At SLR, we’ve had our finger on the pulse of AI since the beginning. The sheer scale of its impact on VR porn cannot be overstated. There’s no better way to say it: AI is revolutionizing the industry. SLR is on the cutting edge of this revolution, and we are just getting started.
ScriptsAI: SLRs AI driven sex toy scripting tool
Our scripts are best-in-class. But the amount of time and work it takes to create these incredible scripts can be a challenge. So, what if we could put AI to work doing some of the heavy lifting? As it turns out, AI and scripting are a natural fit. We’ve doubled down our efforts to integrate AI generation into our scripting process and the results are better than we imagined.
While hand-crafted scripts are still the gold standard for a quality experience, our AI tools have given us the ability to generate fantastic scripts for thousands of videos in mere minutes.That means we can add scripts to all of our content retroactively, without sucking resources and time away from the team working on new videos.
It also gives our team another edge: a starting point to work from. Instead of painstakingly crafting each script stroke-by-stroke, we can start with an AI draft, then go through each script and edit what the software has done its best to achieve. It’s the best of both worlds: automation and artistry all in one.
We’re improving and streamlining this tool and its related processes with every step. We’ll be bringing these amazing new features to every platform, including mobile and browser for VR and flat video. The SLR ecosystem will be a seamless, unified experience where you have full control over what you want to experience, where you want to experience it, and how you want to enhance that experience with Passthrough, Haptics and scripts.
Passthrough: Using AI to its fullest potential
Obviously, some things are better made by human hands. But some challenges are uniquely suited to be met by AI. Passthrough is a great example.
When we make Passthrough videos by hand we use greenscreens, chromakey, lighting and other tools to create scenes that work. It’s a specific process that requires specialized equipment and techniques. But what if we want to experience some of the classics in Passthrough?
This is the kind of job that’s perfect for a machine like AI. Our AI is trained to differentiate between subject and background with fidelity and clarity. We can use it to remaster content in a Passthrough-friendly format. With our team holding the wheel, we’re driving into a new frontier of ubiquitous Passthrough support for our entire content library, getting us closer to our goal of a seamless, full-featured experience across all platforms. Visit our blog covering the latest updates to Passthrough AI. We've made big leaps recently, like including the ability to toggle the male performer on or off to suit your preferences.
Our AI Passthrough (BETA) is out! Over 150 videos are available to view right now. At this moment, your feedback is more valuable than ever as we work out the kinks and get this process into a more streamlined form with continued improvement and updates. Give it a shot and tell us what you think in our forum thread dedicated to the topic.
Mobile: Bringing VR to your handheld device with AI
Our videos are amazing and we want you to be able to enjoy them anywhere at any time, even when you don’t have a VR headset within arms reach. That’s why we’re doing what we can to port the full experience to your smartphone as seamlessly as possible. AI is helping us do that in multiple ways:
Region of Interest modeling is one big way we’re improving the VR-to-mobile experience. How do we translate a large VR video to a phone screen without losing the essence of the scene?
Region of Interest (ROI) is the solution. By training our AI to identify and track the most interesting and relevant action on screen, we can take the hassle out of pinching, zooming and scrubbing every few moments to find the best angle. We’re doing this by training the AI to pay attention to key body parts in the video and keep the action centered and clear. We're freeing up your hands for other important tasks. When it’s working right, you won’t even notice it– you’ll just be absorbed by the action with no UI or immersion-breaking distractions getting in the way. We’re still in the early prototype stage of this project, so we will update you as it develops.
Passthrough POV is another exciting feature we’re working on for mobile. Passthrough uses the outward-facing cameras on your headset to map the world around you in real life into the scene. We thought: your phone has a sophisticated suite of cameras too– what is stopping us from applying the same technology here? Ultimately, you’ll be able to view Passthrough videos on your phone with your real space stitched in, just like in VR.
Custom backgrounds are another fantastic new avenue for development. Maybe, instead of bringing the girls into your room, you'd rather take them somewhere fantastical. How about reverse cowgirl or doggy style in space? Maybe a whole team of sexy courtiers in a Medieval castle? Take the action wherever you want. We’re making custom CGI environments of all kinds, and AI has the potential to improve and accelerate the process. The possibilities are literally endless. Bonus fact: In zero-G, reverse cowgirl and doggy style are the same position.
Reccomender Systems
A Recommender System, or RecSys, is an admittedly jargony bit of tech jargon. Simply put: it is the algorithm that pays attention to your viewing patterns and makes suggestions about what you might like. How it works on a granular level is uncommon knowledge for most of us.
Basically, RecSys relies on data analysis based on user behavior. The data that goes in and how it's processed can vary. There’s an entire industry built around getting the best results out of these systems. You can probably see where that’s going: AI is a powerful tool for recognizing patterns and prioritizing data input. It’s nuts-and-bolts stuff.
But consider the sheer volume of our VR Porn library. In the years to come, our collection will grow by orders of magnitude. While that’s great, it could present a potential obstacle for the person looking for the right video: it’s a lot more to sort through. We want to ensure that you have a personally-tailored experience finding exactly what you want to watch, when you want to watch it, with minimal sifting through the content that doesn’t fit your taste. Having an intuitive system bolstered by AI is how we plan to do it.
Down the Road
Once we’ve achieved these goals with the help of AI, there are even more possibilities to explore. For example:
AI generated voice response In the gaming world, modders have already made impressive strides toward sophisticated two-way vocal communication, using AI and text-to-speech. At this stage it’s all still a bit wonky, which is to be expected. But the opportunities for VR porn are immediately obvious. We’re already exploring ways of integrating a system like this with our BYOJ feature. At the rate this technology is improving– and with the help of better and better AI software– viable, realistic role playing with intuitive and natural responses is just around the corner. You can bet that SLR will be on top of it every step of the way. A critical thing to note here is that we understand the uncertain and sometimes controversial nature of these fledgling technologies. Let us be clear: will never misuse or misrepresent the identity, agency or likeness of anyone for any reason.
The most exciting possibilities are the ones we can’t even imagine yet until we pull this thread a little further.
Gabe Newell, Founder of Valve, said it best in an interview,
“It would be like trying to describe the internet to somebody who’d never used the internet before… it’s like, ‘oh it’s a great way to get cooking recipes.’ Nobody would have predicted something like Uber occurring.”
He goes on to talk about how the human brain is surprisingly responsive to direct interface in a lot of ways and even described the future of this technology as an “extinction-level event” for entertainment that isn’t thinking about it. In the future, we may be jacking-in to jack off.
SLR is committed to leading the charge with every step from here to the cyber sexual future of our dreams. When we say that the long-term possibilities for AI are endless, we aren’t kidding. SexLikeReal isn’t just our name: it’s our promise.
We'd love to hear what you think about AI and how SLR can use it to make VR porn better than ever. Our forum is a great place to share your ideas.
