The Next Big Hype: Can Virtual Reality Save the Porn Industry?

Lectures, English

After 3D technology failed to establish itself in our living rooms, Virtual Reality seems to be the next big thing in entertainment – at least this is what the industry currently is telling us. Lower prices for VR headsets which can be used for both, gaming and watching movies, might indeed pave the way for a development which enthusiasts call a visual revolution.

A growing number of filmmakers is jumping on the VR bandwagon, respective websites are shooting up like mushrooms. However, the ultimate immersive experience still needs to spread out to John Doe’s bedroom. Pornfilmfestival Berlin invited three VR filmmakers to take a look on the status of Virtual Reality porn today.

The panel which is moderated by Berlin based pornographer Falk Lux will focus on differences between 2D and VR storytelling and analyse the requirements needed for creation of perfect immersive VR porn. Also the thrilling promise to be  “part of the action” – frequently given by the sex industry to their consumers – will be put on the test bench.

After the discussion the audience will have a chance to shoot questions at the panelists and to check out porn clips at our VR counter.
