VR Porn Studio Releases POV Head Rig for Max Intimacy Between Actresses and Viewers

Filming more immersive virtual reality sex.

Adult studio VR Bangers will shoot films with a POV head rig.

Let’s get this out of the way: the new recording rig recently released by VR Bangers [NSFW] is less an erotic fantasy and more the stuff of nightmares. That is, if disembodied heads stir up in you an unsettling uncanny valley response.

But this new piece of technology isn’t designed to be in an adult VR film, but rather to be behind the scenes as a recording tool: giving viewers an even more just-like-being-there feeling.

Boris Smirnoff, the CTO of VR Bangers told The Daily Mail: “The rig was built especially for adult VR scenes because we noticed that there is a much warmer and more intimate emotional attachment between the performer and the recording device if the device itself is able to be kissed, caressed, and whispered to in the same sort of ways that a real person would sense those subtle communications.”

It’s really quite a remarkable idea. Normally, when filming a VR adult film the actors have to try and relate to a stereophonic camera setup and a pair of microphones. The placement of both the audio and visual pick-ups can be off, making the final product less than immersive.

What VR Bangers has done is put the cameras and the microphones into a plastic head, giving the actors something more human-like to relate to. It also makes sure the audio and video recording pickups are optimally positioned for playback later, and humans to enjoy.

“Stereoscopic cameras right where its eyes would usually be, true 4K resolution at a mouthwatering 60fps using multiple cameras on the front, back, and top of the head to capture every angle, along with state of the art binaural sound microphones in each ear to add a level of realism to each whisper, moan, and shift in sound,” Smirnoff added.

Unfortunately, this innovative new virtual reality recording rig wasn’t part of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES); though, the rig did make the cut and was featured at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in January.

As Smirnoff also said in an interview with The Memo: “Our industry has always been at the forefront of improving interpersonal technologies.”

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.
