Apple Vision Prois the giant tech company’s foray into the VR headset space, which hit stores just a few days ago very expensive. It’s an impressive piece of technology (hence the price) that you can use to work from home (by installing windows virtually anywhere in your house – take it from there, return-to-the-office duty!) to deep dive into the hottest VR-enabled games like resident Evil 4, or watch sports games with real-time statistics updates. But one thing you can’t do with the Apple Vision Pro is watch VR pornand fans of dazzling smut aren’t happy about it.
As reported by 404 media, the VR porn community quickly realized that their favorite content wouldn’t work on the headset. In one Reddit post on the r/oculusnsfw subreddit, a user asked if anyone had “figured out porn on the Vision Pro?” “I’m dying to get this working haha,” the post reads. “If anyone has a success story, please tell me how.” The most voted comment doesn’t mince words: “Worse than PSVR2. Chastity device worth $3500 [clown emojis].”
“There is a hack to play VR files if you have an AVP,” writes another commenter. “It’s a matter of resetting it to factory settings, boxing it up, selling it on eBay, buying a Quest 3 and pocketing the $3,000 difference. Let us know if this works.”
Since Apple Vision Pro allows you to use web browsers and place them virtually in the real world, you can still navigate there PornHub and watch as many regular (or “flat”) porn videos as you want. But VR porn, which is often rotated and displayed in 180 degrees, cannot be played on the Apple Vision Pro – somewhat VR porn Enthusiasts have been clamoring ever since the device was announced. The day before the Apple Vision Pro release date on February 2nd, a r/VisionPro Post titled “My suffering last night“ is:
An ode to my last night when, while trying to watch VR porn, I had to see the space between pixels on my Meta Quest 3, disrupting my otherwise flawless, immersive experience. Tomorrow marks a new frontier in masturbation technology. If it’s good enough, it could be a turning point for human population growth.
Unfortunately, the journey into the “new frontier of masturbation technology” appears to be on hold. As 404 points out that the same person who hoped for this new frontier then founded the r/applevisionnsfw Subreddit. However, it’s not surprising that VR porn apps aren’t available on the headset (the last ones said Steve Jobs in 2010 “That those who wanted porn apps on their phone should “buy an Android”) is surprising that none of the, I’m sure, enterprising young men trying to watch VR porn have found a workaround yet has found. 404 media draws attention to that Apple has started supporting WebXR (an application programming interface (API) used for VR and AR devices) on its in-house browser Safari in 2022, and the Vision Pro reportedly supports this API. But perhaps there aren’t many VR porn app makers that optimize videos for the less popular browser.
So give it a few weeks, you VR porn fans. Redditors have already reported some success retuning Safari’s advanced settings on their Vision Pro, and how 404 One person has reportedly “downloaded and converted WebXR clips into formats playable through Vision Pro’s Files app and is sharing them on a dedicated Discord.” Although the videos are reportedly not that great (there are problems with the aspect ratio and because the clips don’t feel like a proper 180 degree fuck fest), VR porn beggars can’t be VR porn choosers.
