Pornhub Goes The VR Way, Announces Goggles Give Away
Pornhub, the popular adult entertainment website, is promising to set orgasmic standards in porn viewing with its VR videos.
The website announced on Wednesday its partnership with BaDoink VR to offer 360 degree viewing experience. A dedicated section on the home page now invites users to a heightened level of audio-visual stimulation, which Pornhub is providing at no cost.
"At Pornhub it is our duty to provide our global audience with the latest in cutting edge technology," Pornhub VP Corey Price, said. "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."
VR is gaining ground following big investments from tech titans. With Samsung's launch of its Gear VR and existing Google Cardboard for smartphones, virtual reality is understandably the next big thing for porn viewers. The videos on Pornhub are playable through a wide range of VR devices including Facebook owned Oculus Rift. Additionally, Pornhub announced it is giving away VR goggles to the first 10,000 who request it.
"We encourage our users to request a free pair of virtual reality goggles and visit Pornhub's virtual reality section. There, users' wildest fantasies will come alive as they slip into a world of heightened titillation," Price promised.
"We're incredibly excited to be providing the content and tech behind Pornhub's new initiative," said Todd Glider, BaDoinkVR, CEO said. "After decades of kicks and starts, virtual reality is finally hitting its stride. McDonalds Happy Meal boxes are doubling as Google Cardboard; now Pornhub is tossing its hat in the ring. Calling this revolution in mass communication a fad, resisting the urge to Drink the Kool Aid, grows steadily more irrational."
