Take a Peak at the VRBangers ‘Sex Helmet’ Worn by Adult Stars

Immersive sex truly filmed from the first-person POV.

One of the greatest challenges to creating virtual reality entertainment, especially of the adult variety, is recording the action in a way that can then be played back through a VR headset.

VRBangers [NSFW] has realized this challenge and had previously developed a kind of robot head for recording virtual reality adult interactions. This head, which we reported on previously, mirrored the viewers own: eyes with cameras, ears with microphones, and so forth.

Better than a fake head

The idea was that this head could better capture the erotic experience and give the actors something to relate to. But it wasn’t perfect.

After all, the head wasn’t attached to a flesh-and-blood body—so a human stand-in would have to be used, or perhaps a plastic male counterpart.

Xander Jones, a producer at VRBangers [NSFW], told The Mirror that they needed something better.

Even though the old head rig was doing great, we had some issues with it and not all of professional porn stars liked it—that is why we had to sooner or later come up with something new, and, which was a matter of the company’s honor, even better and more sophisticated than before.

What was needed was a way to record VR that would be immersive but also work with, instead of replacing, a human.

Introducing the VRBangers’ Head Rig 2.0

The answer was the VR Bangers’ Head Rig 2.0: which, when worn by adult entertainers, would record a full range of vision while not getting in the way of the erotic action.

With seven, and not just two, cameras plus microphones, the helmet can be comfortably worn in just about every sexual position.

What is more, Boris Smirnoff, Chief Technology Officer at VRBangers, also told The Mirror, we have introduced a special stabilization system in order to prevent the camera from being too shaky.

Shakey, of course, is another term for a kind of motion sickness that can sometimes plague VR experiences.

Currently, the helmet is being tested with live actors and will be part of some soon-to-be-released adult films from the studio.

World of possibilities

By taking bulky cameras, microphones, and motion tracking gear out of the equation, VR Bangers’ Head Rig 2.0 be just what adult entertainers have been looking for

Think of it this way: being freed from massive amounts of hardware will mean that the action, whatever that might be, can take place anywhere —not just confined to a studio.

What to know what it’s like to be sexual as another gender, ethnicity, age, or with or without a disability? In the near future, with an even more portable variety of these helmets, anyone can put one on and so share their unique perspectives on sex and pleasure with the world.

Breaking down sexual barriers

After all, what happens to bigotry, prejudice, intolerance, and most of all ignorance when you can, using the word correctly, literally see what other people see.

While the VR Bangers’ Head Rig 2.0 is, right now, a tool for making erotic virtual reality more immersive there’s a very good chance that technology like it will become a proven method for humans to gain respect, understanding, and even love for one another,

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.
