Social-VR: Facebook Spaces or vrXcity from me.mento 3D
Social-VR, the social interaction in virtual reality, will probably be the next big thing. Facebook is investing massively in virtual reality technologies. Spaces is Facebook‘s virtual reality app for the Oculus Rift. And: me.mento 3D, a start-up from Berlin, is developing vrXcity, the first interactive virtual reality erotic world.
Social virtual reality (social-VR) is the social interaction in a virtual, non-physical world. In social-VR communication isn’t about boring chat messages. It’s all about voices, avatars, body language and 3D virtual reality. There is a growing trend towards social-VR. Even Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is convinced that this could be the next big thing: “Virtual reality could be the next big social platform and connect more than a billion people”.
All you need for immersion into virtual reality is a VR-headset. Immersion means that you have the perception of being physically present in a virtual 3D world. In other words: You are not just watching a movie, you are part of the movie. Your brain thinks, that the virtual world is the real world.
Facebook is investing massively in the emerging virtual reality market. In March 2014, Facebook bought Oculus VR for 2 billion US-Dollars. The company is specialized in virtual reality headsets. Furthermore Facebook launched Spaces, a social virtual reality app for the Oculus Rift. According to the American weekly news magazine Time: “Spaces is meant to be a virtual hangout where you can kick back with up to four friends, each represented by self-created digital avatars. You can also video chat with friends through Facebook Messenger in Spaces, start a Facebook Live broadcast and capture a virtual selfie with a selfie stick.“
But more and more start-ups are also developing social VR-products. Recently the German television news channel ntv reported that me.mento 3D, a start-up from Berlin, is developing the first interactive virtual reality porn world. According to me.mento 3D “The vrXcity will be a photo-realistic ecosystem where the user can fully interact with 3D-versions of his favourite porn stars or/and other users and create own content to fulfil all possible fantasies. The newest in virtual reality technology will be combined with artificially intelligent avatars, everything responds to the actions of the user to create the most realistic feel.”.
