I own a AVP, hog cranking is its killer use case. Porn on the AVP exists today whether Apple likes it or not.

Passing app review doesnt matter, there are a number of subscription websites (sexlikereal, wankz, czechvr etc) which offer UHD uncompressed 8K MP4 videos for download. It is entirely possible (and quite easy) to download these UHD videos to a Mac, mount the folder containing the goon material on the Mac as a drive on the Vision Pro (local network drive), and stream the video to the AVP using a 3rd party 3d video player; Moonplayer is the pick of the bunch at the moment.

I must say the experience is pretty damn good. I can see people getting addicted to it an unhealthy way. The sites mentioned above are only producing 8K at the moment, I think the AVP can handle more pixels, and there are new cameras coming on to the market (https://x.com/Blackmagic_News/status/1800273164867658228) which will really crank things up a notch.

There is a tremedous market oppurtunity available here, its niche at the moment, but once you experience good quality VR porn its hard to go back to the flat stuff.

I should probably get a GF.... sigh.

Truly a golden era for fast-forwarding through videos of dead-eyed men and women rutting on camera. (Thank you – I genuinely learned a lot from your reply.)

What a boner of a comment. We get it, George, you don't watch pornography. Well done on managing your personal brand I guess?

FYI there's nothing inherently wrong about porn or sex work! It's great! A lot of people like it, you should try it sometime!

You seem legitimately offended that this guy has preferences and opinions? Why are you so concerned with what other people do in their free time?

> You seem legitimately offended that this guy has preferences and opinions

No, I am not offended that anyone has preferences or opinions. What I am responding to is this language:

> Neither a Vision Pro owner nor much of a hog cranker

> native applications designed to aid manipulating oneself

> dead-eyed men and women rutting on camera

...which is intended to indicate disdain towards people who produce or consume pornographic material. I think that this person is going out of their way to be an unkind contrarian regarding porn, and in my opinion that deserves a little light ridicule!

> ...which is intended to indicate disdain towards people who produce or consume pornographic material.

The only intention was to rejoin OP's "hog cranking" euphemism with some fun ones from the English lexicon. (That it appears to have caused you to make a spectacle of yourself for no reason whatsoever is a bit of a bonus, though.)

> I must say the experience is pretty damn good. I can see people getting addicted to it an unhealthy way

I don't disagree, but I think interactive sex apps (with virtual partner or teledildonics) would be a much better experience that video playback (vr or not). Higher image quality, interactivity, and Im sure some sex-toy manufacturer(s) has a bluetooth/wifi API already for additional "immersion". There's a market for a much hornier Replika, if Apple would allow it. As for ethical & security implications of such an app, I'll leave as an exercise to the reader.
