Virtual reality porn might soon have a whole new level of initmate immersion, with the news that the ability to kiss in VR is now possible. This is thanks to a team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, and their development of ultrasonic haptics. They fitted a haptic extension to an Oculus Quest 2 VR headset, consisting of thin array of ultrasound transducers. The row of transducers do not touch the mouth, but are placed on the headset so that they rest on the wearer’s nose. The transducers produce haptic feedback to the mouth – to the lips, teeth, and tongue. According to the team of researchers, this allows you to ‘drink’ from a fountain in VR or take a puff from a cigarette. As for the exciting potential for erotic VR experiences, it would enable you to kiss, including kissing with tongue. It would allow oral sex. For women or gay males, it might allow you to feel the sensation of giving a blowjob, including the ejaculation splashing your tongue and face. Bravo to the Carnegie researchers!
The scientists have modified a virtual reality (VR) headset by fitting it with haptic technology, meaning it simulates touch by applying forces, vibrations and motions.
It uses a thin array of transducers integrated into the underside of the VR headset that direct ultrasound energy at different parts of the mouth.
As well as kissing sensations, the tech could be used to drink from a virtual water fountain or take a puff from a cigarette.
The prototype headset, which is an adapted Oculus Quest 2, has been developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Future Interfaces Group in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Importantly, the modified headset doesn’t require any equipment to be put up against or into a user’s mouth; instead, the components are rested above the nose.
According to the team, the mouth has been largely overlooked as a haptic target in VR and augmented reality (AR), despite being second in terms of sensitivity behind the fingertips.
Daily Mail : You can now KISS in the metaverse
Kissing is one of the most intimate of experiences in VR porn, and features particularly heavily in JAV VR. In current VR filming methods, it is let down somewhat due to the unavoidable ‘fish eye’ distortion which resluts when the model gets very close to the camera/male actor’s face. However, when lightfield VR becomes a thing, combined with this haptic tech, then men may truly never want to take their headsets off.
This is not the only potential breakthrough in haptic feedback for VR porn made this month. Korean researchers recently employed ‘spin processes’ for haptic touch that might soon allow you to feel breasts in VR.
