Bill Asher is a pioneer in the adult content industry who guides Vivid Entertainment, LLC, as Co-owner and Co-chairman. In addition to producing traditional feature films starring top-name adult entertainment figures, Bill Asher’s company is exploring possibilities in the virtual reality (VR) sphere.

As reported in GeekWire, VR porn is driving significant year-on-year industry growth, as viewers are drawn in by the immediacy and realism of the scenarios presented for them to watch immersively. Popular offerings provide male viewers with what has been dubbed the girlfriend experience, with actors and actresses able to simulate a sense of personal interaction through first-person POV techniques. This simulation of reality creates a sense of connection between the viewer and the actors, in ways that were simply not possible on a 2-D screen.

Many in the industry believe that VR adult entertainment using headsets is just the beginning of a move toward augmented reality experiences in which people will also receive the physical sensation of being involved in the porn scenario. This ever-more-realistic product promises to open new markets and revenue potential in the adult entertainment sphere.
