Porn Industry Tiptoes Into 3D Video
itwbennett writes "The 3D porn experience is coming (eventually) to a home theater near you. Most adult filmmakers are moving slowly toward 3D video because of higher production cost, the small number of 3D TVs in the home, and, of course, the glasses. Rob Smith, director of operations at Hustler Video Group says he hopes that market penetration of 3D TVs in the home is high enough that 'by the fourth quarter of this year it will be at the point where we can justify doing a 3D product.' The average adult movie costs around $25,000 to $40,000 to make, and 3D movies cost about 30% more, says Ali Joone, founder of Digital Playground. But Joone thinks the biggest hurdle for 3D isn't so much the cost as the glasses: people don't want to be encumbered by eyewear when viewing a film, says Joone."
hehe, he said "penetration"!
Think of the "money" shot...shudder.

That's certainly what people fear most: getting caught wearing glasses while watching porn.

And here I thought that Double D was more than enough.
The need for glasses with straps holding them to your head would be a requirement.
You know.. with all that shaking going on the glasses will come right off.

Surely people who watch porn regularly will already need glasses
I already need glasses to see just a 2d tv, you insensitive clod!

WTF kind of retard is Rob Smith?! Even your average Slashdot user knows that penetration is measured in terms of depth, not height. The irony of it is that Rob Smith has probably had more pussy than the entire Slashdot userbase put together. *sigh*
Fuck, let's slashdot Hustler!
Does anyone really want Peter North cumming at them in 3D?
No, absolutely nobody at all finds it hot. There's simply no explanation for it.
Darn skippy it is. All right thinking people prefer their porn to be clean, hygienic and a respectful paean to the mortal incarnation of the Earth Goddess. In fact, I'll only watch procreative missionary sex between a husband and wife. Fully clothed. Shot in the dark.
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
The porn that I've researched seems to have been made on a sub-$1,000 budget, how are they spending so much money!?
Hookers and boo-- wait, no, that doesn't make sense.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure everything I just said is completely wrong.
Due to the advent of IR cameras this type of porn is getting more popular. ;)
If I were God, wouldn't I protect my churches from acts of me?
Good job, Slashdot.

Your average girl is more attractive than most porn stars.
True, but your average girl won't let the average /. reader watch her doing any of that stuff.
Quidnam Latine loqui modo coepi?
I'm actually uncertain what will happen to the adult movie industry after this kind of growth spurt. I mean, we've all seen what kind of a mess can take place when a company prematurely comes from behind or tries to pull out when all they really need is a little coaxing. Of course, it's not like the porn industry has to bend over backwards to provide entertainment these days.
I think once the porn industry stops jerking us around and really starts playing hardball, then I can really get excited. I don't even mind that the porn industry kisses my ass or strokes my ego or throws the general audience a bone now and again, but this could be gigantic. I don't think I really could go either way; I've made up my mind -- I'm straight up ready and willing for this next big thing.
In fact, I'm just about ready to give the porn industry a helping hand.
