Whoever still thinks that this can be compared to the failed 3D: you are soooooo wrong  |
Did 3D porn really fail?
Your content didn't sell but maybe that was due to an overcrowded content market relative to the demand, the demand largely being determined by the limited number of 3D TVs in use.
3D TVs and 3D entertainment in general failed, but 3D porn wasn't a complete failure at all. Last I checked Penthouse 3D had made millions of dollars in sales and are still shooting in 3D. 3D TVs were bought mainly by families for the lounge. Dads dont want to fap off to porn wearing glasses in the family lounge. Yet anaglyph porn wearing those crappy glasses for laptops was highly popular, especially given how crude anaglyph is compared to 3D TV.
If 3D TVs and 3D broadcasting had really taken off, 3D porn would have as well. 3D porn wasn't quite good enough to drive technology adoption, and this time it was tech that determined the fate of porn, not the other way around (as it's commonly supposed to be).
However, I agree that vr is on a whole different level. I'm surprised Penthouse didn't embrace vr, given that all their existing 3D stock is viewable with vr headsets and they have that experience of producing in stereo 3D already.
