Haptic Holograms: Feel and Play with Beautiful Model Using Interactive VR Controllers

Immersive sex is changing the world of adult entertainment.

PrimaVR, a European virtual reality startup, has exciting VR porn news. The company has released adult videos that let users not just interact with sexy holograms, but also to feel them through haptic feedback.

Running on high-end VR headsets, such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, the new application makes users’ virtual reality hand controllers vibrate when they reach out to touch an adult actress. The performer appears in a virtual environment, thanks to playback of digitally recorded 3D images.

According to PrimaVR, the type of touch feedback users experience will vary based on their actions, though the current system is limited to a small degree of variation.

However, Anton Bailey, a spokesperson for the company, said in a press release that PrimaVR is working on increasing the range of possibility: “We will keep pushing this technology forward, simply because hologram videos have such great potential.”

Erotic holograms also respond to touch via virtual reality controllers. For example, if you push your hand on a performer’s body, it displaces the virtual soft tissue, and touching her breasts will create a slight jiggling effect. You can also take advantage of positional tracking, which allows users full freedom to move their heads and still view content from different perspectives.

Additionally, part of PrimaVR’s mission is to create technology that doesn’t just innovate but is also affordable. According to the website, the PrimaVR team works to create hologram technology “well suited for film producers that can't use $20k-150k for hologram capture setups that it usually would require.”

Clearly, PrimaVR’s holograms are worth a look—especially for moderate-budget adult entertainment producers—and even or anyone interested in developments in haptic technology.

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
