The 1992 film "The law Cut Man" caused a lot of buzz when it was released.
As a film about virtual reality (VR), you may think that the vivid performance of this amazing new technology is attracting people's attention.
In fact, it's a virtual sex scene that makes headlines.
But while virtual reality sex is basically a fantasy in its 1990 s, it has become a reality today and has a potentially fertile future.
Oscar Wilder is often quoted as saying: "Everything in the world is about sex except sex.
Sex is power.
"It's true because sex has a strong presence in many aspects of our lives.
Therefore, it is not surprising that it is also characteristic in our virtual life.
Some people even say that the combination of virtual reality and sex is a dream come true;
You can do almost anything you can imagine without leaving the living room.
In the words of Oscar Wilder: you have power.
So it's no surprise that the porn industry is eager to embrace virtual reality.
According to Fortune, the popular porn site Pornhub has about 60 million visitors a day.
Maybe it's not surprising that it's investing heavily in VR.
It already offers a large number of immersive videos that require Google Cardboard or Oculus Rift.
The video is pre-
Like traditional porn, they were shot at 180 or 360. degree camera.
Viewers then immerse themselves in the scene using VR headsets, often with a central perspective.
Audience pornography is also changing to include interactive elements.
Here, the viewer will have something like a virtual camera, not a static camera, which can bring things into the room in real time.
Another area of growth is the simulated love and dating site.
Among these, you can choose to represent any number of incarnations: men, women, humans, and non-humans.
You can then interact with other avatars, and you can have a variety of sex by clicking the mouse button.
This type of site may appeal to those seeking anonymity who do not come with any conditions for casual sex.
Or those who like to put their fantasies in a truly wonderful world.
For those who want to have a virtual interaction with their current partner, the industry is also trying to meet their needs.
There are too many interactive toys for men and women, just plug in the USB port of the computer.
These devices can be controlled by you or your partner, and you can enjoy a certain level of intimacy regardless of physical location.
I think this will particularly attract couples separated by the mainland.
Obviously, the sex industry will also use these sensory devices.
People can even combine virtual and physical to invest in a robot sex doll.
These are far from the hits in comics.
Stag deer and hen party favorite doll.
Now you can get a complete synthetic realistic model with all the right equipment.
Some also include animation pronunciation.
Over time, the actions of these robots may be controlled remotely, thus adding another dimension to virtual sex.
Some people may see the development of virtual reality, reducing the relationship between people.
But virtual intimacy may be good.
For example, for those who are at a disadvantage to some extent and cannot even leave the house, or those who find it difficult to be closely connected with others, it may be a gospel.
This may be particularly important given the gender imbalance in some countries, which may result in millions of men not being able to find (human) partners.
Or you can think that VR just adds a new immersive element to the existing virtual text, phone, and webcam nature, all of which are nothing new.
