It was only a matter of time before the first camgirls discovered VR technology to increase their business potential. Now the time has come, the webcam provider Stripchat offers access to channels featuring camgirls in Virtual Reality. Thus a new chapter in the adult industry’s attempt to help VR break through and create a new gold rush has begun.
Many industry experts believe that the implementation of VR technology in the cam business might decide the success or ultimate failure of VR in the mass market. A first webcam provider now dares to move forward: some of the Stripchat performers will stream in VR from now on. They offer users an immersive experience previously unreached in the sexcam world.
Members of the website can experience the shows in VR by using devices such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. All they have to do is to switch to the private chat on the profile of the respective camgirl. The popular free preview option is only available for the traditional 2D view. To enter VR-view, you have to pay for it immediately and the show will be private. However, the big breakthrough in the cam business only came about when you could follow the shows during group chats even without paying and only charging users for interaction and influence on the performer’s actions. It remains to be seen to what extent the older pay-to-view model is suitable for VR offers.
Will the combination of webcam offerings with VR technology create a new gold rush?
Rick Morales, Business Development Manager at Stripchat, in any case, is enthusiastic: »Virtual reality makes the experience and the joy of interacting with webcam models even better than the real thing. Stripchat is the first on the adult market to adopt and develop the feature to its fullest potential, channeling digital reality into a hypnotic, user experience.«
He adds: »Stripchat is offering the future of live entertainment. We are not simply 3D or stereo like ‘some’ other cam sites – we have a true immersive experience, and we are ready to make a VR revolution in the live cam industry.«
More information about the offer can be found on the website of the cam operator.
