New Meta Quest 3s: Mixed Reality Headset the Adult Entertainment Industry’s Waiting For?

Affordable, easy to use, and possibly perfect for immersive, explicit content

As low-cost, readily accessible VHS and DVD players fueled the enjoy-at-home sexual media revolution, the recent release of the Meta Quest 3s mixed reality entertainment system might encourage a massive new wave of virtual and augmented, fully interactive,and immersive, explicit movies and gamessurely —while surely boosting the development of other equally affordable mixed-reality rigs.

A lot of bang for scant bucks

Until the arrival of the Meta Quest 3s, a majority of augmented reality headsets tended to offer either a less-than-satisfying experience or a groundbreaking level of immersion for a staggeringly high price as with the Apple Vision Pro, 

What the Meta Quest 3s does is meet these two extremes in the middle. For only $299 (not including extras). Meta Quest 3s offers high definition and smooth performance that is almost—but not quite—as good as the Apple Vision Pro. And that’s not bad, considering $3,499 for Apple Vision Pro’s base model.

With such a massive cost disparity, it’s hard to believe reviewers have edged the Meta Quest 3s ahead of Apple Vision Pro—and not only for its affordability.

Scot Stein, a respected reviewer at CNET points to the Apple Vision Pro’s advanced technology, saying it’s a crucial first step toward what augmented reality may someday become—though, alas, a prohibitively expensive one, “whereas the Quest platform is five years old. Meta had VR hardware for years before that, too,” makes the Meta Quest 3s a superior option—for now, that is  

Ideal for adult entertainment?

In his review, Stein also notes another key difference between the two: “Quest headsets can do one thing Vision Pro can’t, though: Play 360-degree and VR180 video content on YouTube and elsewhere on the web.”

On the surface, perhaps a less-than-stellar compliment, but given the adult entertainment industry’s tendency to deliver material as cheaply as possible, the Meta Quest 3s may be precisely what the industry needs to get augmented reality content from a curious novelty to a full-blown, sexually explicit media mainstay.

Sure, people may prefer their interactive, immersive adult videos and games on something like an Apple Vision Pro, but producing anything for it is likely to be prohibitively expensive.  Not forgetting that more people will be able to afford the far less expensive Meta Quest 3s than the Apple Vision Pro.

Ready to take the next immersive step?

Augmented reality is, to a relatively small extent, already here.  Several adult entertainment sites already offer some sort of AR content.  The difference between today’s and tomorrow’s is their lack of true immersiveness or talking mixed reality, actual interactivity.  

All of which may completely change for the better, not to mention more sexually exciting, as more and more people get their hands on rigs like the Meta Quest 3s, which, rather than roughly approximating where to place the image of a person or object instead by actively scan the immediate environment can position anything or anyone precisely where it’ll be the most arousingly realistic.

Meta Quest 3s is also good at hand and finger tracking (though Apple Vision Pro is somewhat better). This means that you’ll be better able to interact with your preferred, digitized adult entertainer.

Now, it’s up to the adult industry

With the advent of a technologically advanced but affordable system like Meta Quest 3s, VR/AR and mixed reality headsets are likely to become fully mainstream-major components of home and adult entertainment-just as VHS and DVD players did so long ago. I’m counting on the adult entertainment industry to know a good and profitable thing when they see it!

We’ve already seen—and will continue to see—how affordable entertainment technologies spur the production of new adult content, and vice versa. Considering how incredibly immersive and interactive headsets like the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3s already are, the adult entertainment industry could end up giving us mind-blowing explicit experiences like nothing we’ve seen before.

M. Christian

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.
