Pornhub Unveils Free VR Porn Channel (pcworld.com)

An anonymous reader writes from an article on PCWorld: Big-name pornography website Pornhub has partnered with BadoinkVR, an early mover and shaker in VR porn, to launch a new section dedicated to immersive adult videos, aka VR porn. "Virtual reality is the next phase in the constantly metamorphosing world of adult entertainment, and will provide users with a mesmeric experience unlike anything they've seen before," Pornhub Vice President Corey Price said in a press release. "Now, our users are not only able to view our content, but be protagonists in the experience and interact with their favorite porn stars." The videos are roughly five-minute-long trailers designed to hook you on the VR porn experience. If you want the full videos, you'll need to sign up for a subscription with BadoinkVR itself, which will unlock the service's full adult-video selection starting at $20 per month. Pornhub is giving away 10,000 free pairs of branded Google Cardboard VR glasses if you are interested in trying out the experience but lack a VR headset.

I actually got 3 Google Cardboards during the Verizon/Star Wars promotion and then a 4th when Google was giving them away for free. (That final deal only lasted a short time as people flooded their servers with requests.) My kids and I love them for watching 3D videos, rollercoaster apps, and just browsing Google Street View (go anywhere in the world and Google will show you a 3D panorama view of that location - it's like taking a mini-vacation minus the long plane ride). With the right 3D app and a good set of bluetooth headphones, it can even get quite immersive. It's definitely not as good as an Occulus Rift or another expensive VR headset, but it's very inexpensive.

Google actually published the specs so you could make one out of about $8 in parts and an old pizza box. Or you could buy a kit for about $10 on Amazon and put it together yourself. I found this one after a little searching. I haven't bought from that seller so I can't personally vouch for them, but the ratings seem decent. And at least you'll be able to show your friends it without uncomfortable "PornHub?!!!" questions.
