Oculus. "You gotta jack in to jack off"™

The open platform stuff Luckey is pushing for is a good sign for Oculus on a serious note.

 

[Naked Snake]

Why would they?

Because Facebook.

 

[bj00rn_]

Facebook is very strict with any kind of nudity. Breastfeeding photos still get deleted here and there. Is was a valid question to ask a company known for censorship.

"Facebook" in this context is an app where content is kind of sluiced through it publicly. The OR is a display device, much like a TV, made by an somewhat autonomously driven divisor on an open platform. To glue onto the OR some kind of mechanism for censorship would make no sense, and a suicide.

"in" is not the preposition I would go for, no....

 

[Artex]

Block? Lol On the contrary, porn will likely be the single most influential factor in deciding which VR tech(s) is/are the market winners. Porn chose VHS. Porn chose Blue-Ray. Porn will choose VR.

 

[Mephala]

Goodbye real world pic. Where did I put it. >.>

I like open platforms so I'm glad.

 

[fastest finger]

VR porn......hmmm. But how will you know when your mom / wife walks in? You'll be caught red handed. (Literally)

 

[thelatestmodel]

Of course, it was always assumed that porn would be one of the major selling points.

 

[Jzero]

If they did no one would buy it.

 

[IvorB]

Why would anything like this even be considered in the first place? :-/

Because there have been media wars before where certain parties *cough* Sony *cough* banned porn and people speculate it had a big role in how those played out. So now companies like to come out and squash that right off the bat. As far as I recall there was a statement also that blu-ray would not block porn when that particular war was heating up.

How will the world change when fully-immersive, presence-inducing virtual reality porn is ubiquitous?

Frankly something similar already happened when Internet became a thing; The next generation of teenage boys would never know what it is like to have a "secret porn stash", because frankly they have no need for this. This is MASSIVELY changing what it means to be a teenager. I mean I found my father's stash a decade ago, and it was a strange experience because he clearly treasured it and kept it stored away for 20-30 years after he married and had multiple children. 3 years ago I uncovered my dead-tree edition porn stash that I had not seen in years, and recycled them for there was no more need.
Modern youngsters would never know what it feels to have restricted access to pornography. Frankly I say that is a good thing. It is important to be honest about one's self.

Someone will invent a peripheral for a mess free experience

 

[BokehKing]

The p.i.e.d symptoms will now spread like wildfire thanks to this

 

[Sylver]

Ey LG will my monitor block porn?

 

[mugwhump]

Why would they?

How would they? It's not that easy when it's a peripheral instead of a console.

Also what do y'all think of destructoid's comment

At the Silicon Valley Virtual Reality Conference, Luckey explained, "The rift is an open platform. We don’t control what software can run on it. And that’s a big deal."

It is a big deal. And will become a bigger deal when folks naturally abuse this freedom and start putting some supremely vile shit up on it.

How will you guys feel when there's VR content that simulates

Most are only 180 degrees, but whatever (why are you looking behind you?) Female PoV's are extremely strange, and heterosexual female PoV's are disconcerting to the point of me having to remove the headset at times

Hopefully that's not even on the table. Blocking content means locking the device behind some sort of middleware, closing the ecosystem.

 

[Poimandres]

Of course they won't, its the killer apps.

The safe guarantee the tech will not flop.

Killer fap

 

[diggmcbadass]

It's a sad state for hardware when people assume that every new device will have content restrictions and closed ecosystems.

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[DiscoJer]

Isn't it a PC device? I don't think they really could block it.

But beyond that, is anyone actually making pornographic software anymore? (Besides Japan?). There was some when cd-rom drives first became a thing and they could include video.

 

[DustyVonEric]

Anyone using 'VR porn' should be forced to hand their penis in at the desk before they leave the showroom.

Dude, I'd use Sex Packets if I could... And would probably O.D from them.

So I'm all over this stuff

Oculus to Block Porn Content

http://nichegamer.com/2015/06/oculus-to-block-porn-content-violence-is-not-ruled-out-yet/

It seems like Oculus Rift founder Palmer Lucky doesn’t make the decisions at the company anymore, if a new report regarding pornography and the virtual reality headset is anything to go by.

While Lucky previously said he would never block porn content or games, when the device launches – a spokesman has confirmed to Business Insider that not only will they not allow pornography on their app store, they’ll block any porn content being submitted.

Ok, won't buy CV1 anymore. I'm out.

 

[MatthewB92]

Ok, won't buy CV1 anymore. I'm out.

Like the other thread said that is only with apps through there store. Anything out side the store is open.

 

[Piggus]

Was it ever assumed they would?

Yeah, by people who couldn't read.

 

[King_Moc]

Ok, won't buy CV1 anymore. I'm out.

Isn't it pretty obvious that they wouldn't want it on their store? They've said you can get apps from elsewhere if you want, haven't they?

 

[Nzyme32]

Ok, won't buy CV1 anymore. I'm out.

That's just the store - that's like asking netflix or Steam to provide porn; they won't but the internet is right there instead

 

[jason44]

Of course they won't block it. There's too much money in that niche I wonder how pirate porn sites like xVideos are going to compete with it.

 

[petran79]

open platform and closed platform get a new meaning....

 

[Impotaku]

[Silent Chief]

Waiting for the flood of "How do you clean Oculus Rift?" threads.

 

[HolyCheck]

I must be completely out of the loop.

I had always assumed these VR headsets were simply a visual output/input system.

But from having the ability to block software, you run the software on the headset like a console?

 

[Beelzebufo]

I wonder how many people will buy these just for this. Especially since anyone who plays lots of VR obviously isn't into human interaction.

 

[Grazzt]

[BumRush]

Nothing would kill VR more effectively than blocking it's use for porn. The desire to get our rocks off in new, terrifyingly interesting ways is the primary driving force behind all human endeavor.

Reading that while looking at your avatar made me feel ill...

 

[DieH@rd]

Like the other thread said that is only with apps through there store. Anything out side the store is open.

This.

They can only control their store, but the rest of the windows apps can freely access Oculus Rift and show players anything.
