While mixed and virtual reality are in early stages, there’s plenty to be excited about for adult content.

Adult video goliath Naughty America [NSFW] continues to impress with its ongoing virtual reality, augmented reality, and holographic releases.

Of them all, Naughty America’s big push has been toward virtual reality, which immerses viewers into simulated environments with adult performers.

The studio offers a whopping 435 VR porn videos for users to enjoy, which include adult superstars Gianna Dior, Whitney Wright, August Taylor, and many others.

Like other adult entertainment companies, it has also delivered a range of viewing options supported on high-end virtual reality rigs like the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive, as well as on the simple, and much more affordable, smartphone head-mount displays.

Price-wise, they’re a membership-based service, running from a three-day trial for only $1.95 to $95.40 for a whole year.

Augmented reality experimentation

While virtual reality jettisons viewers into a different, albeit, virtual setting, augmented reality (AR) bring interactive media into your physical environment. In regards to AR, Naughty America has released more than 80 3D models of adult performers you can interact with while browsing the site on your smartphone.

This augmented reality feature presents the models as static, two-dimensional images that can be rotated and overlaid onto your personal space.

Did somebody say holograms?

If you’re intrigued by the VR and AR erotic entertainment options above, then you’ll also love hearing about Naughty America’s sexy holograms [NSFW].

The studio offers a selection of more than 55 erotic performances you can enjoy in either VR or AR.

You can view these hot holograms in action with an iOS app, the HTC Vive app, and the Oculus Rift app.

The next big thing

While some have said virtual reality hasn’t quite lived up to its potential, that adult entertainment giants like Naughty America have invested so much work into creating and promoting the technology suggests it views interest in VR as going nowhere but up.

Augmented reality, meanwhile, hasn’t really arrived yet.

Sure, some have been experimenting with it, but until we have readily available AR rigs—like how the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive plus smartphone systems are for VR—we’re going to see more of a limited take on this technology.

But give developers a bit more time and more than likely we’ll see a huge jump in available content as well as much more sophisticated augmented reality interactivity.

Which will no doubt, as with many other forms of media technology over the years, be driven by interest and demand generated by adult entertainment industry companies like Naughty America.

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.
