Apple’s much-heralded Vision Pro has left a segment of buyers disappointed after they discovered that the high-priced device will not play any VR porn.
The Vision Pro prevents users from accessing the immersive explicit content, leading one frustrated user to dub it a “$3,500 chastity belt.”
An entire Reddit thread has already sprouted on the social media site and is dedicated to trying to skirt around the Vision Pro’s X-rated guardrails, according to 404 Media.
“I am sure someone will eventually come out with an app that allows that, none are available at launch, and you can’t use the native web browser to access sites either,” the person wrote on Reddit.
The same user who gave the virtual reality headset the nickname declared that “you can’t play NSFW [not safe for work] VR on Apple’s new product yet.”

“Strange Days” is what keeps coming to my mind with these things. It was a movie about a rapist/murder who wore a VR set... and put one on his victim, the two devices linked so that his victim could see her torturous death through his eyes as it happened. Seems we’re only *this* close to that being a thing. And you know someone is working on it.
Knew a cat that did that
Yuppers...
Free Catnip for Everyone!
IIRC, a technician recorded the porn. It was Christopher Walken’s son who discovered it and was left scarred.
That’s mesmerizing! I can just imagine how addictive that would be on a VR headset.
I’d probably keel over from a spasmodic fit.
It might put a guy in a catatonic state! lol
I make the over/under about 30 days until some enterprising engineer hacks this device and shows everyone how to get porn to work on this device
Lol! +1!
LOL!!! I read it quickly and thought you wrote HRC instead of IIRC. Well I guess it would be better that Hillary recorded it instead of starring in it !!!
I see what you mean. The article used the phrase “X-rated guardrails,” which made it sound like it was censoring by type of content.
I don’t know much about VR headsets. You mentioned that “180-degree SBS style of filming is how most commercial VR videos are made,” so why did Apple choose not to support it?
Bruh!
I’ll take the under since it has been published in the media.
Maybe...10 days?
I can think of a number of medical and technical uses, but innovation will still probably be funded by the porn industry.
I just checked the movie out from my local library...going to have to watch it again!
A friend is a retire Chief Technical Officer of several major networks and cable technology companies. He told me once that he could write a book on how porn $$$$ was the driving engine of all new video distribution technologies and standards, from VHS tapes to cable modems and streaming video.
However, he said that he will not write the book because of how it would embarrass his children and grandchildren to know Grandpa knew so much about porn.
OMG, that sounds incredibly and disturbingly creepy!
“sex always has been the main driving force in the life cycle”
It has to be, or at least an essential one. Otherwise no species wouldn’t survive. Forget politeness and all that, mating has to occur.
What about Tourette’s?
Here in the Boston area it was called StarCase then Preview i believe.
It was on channel 68 i think.
As kids we’d watch it and once in a while catch a boob in the scramble.
so exciting!
