VICE worked with us and used 3DXChat footage in 'The Digital Love Industry' film.

 

Soon, virtual reality is going to crash into our lives in a way we never even imagined. Though dating and masturbating have long been commandeered by the web, it's only been as a kind of middleman. Now we're nearing the possibility of falling in love with your computer, as meeting your dream partner could be as easy as slipping on Oculus Rift—the most advanced virtual reality headset in the world.

In Digital Love, VICE investigates how love and sex is faring in the digital age, starting with technology's notorious bedmate, the adult entertainment industry. We make a pilgrimage to LA's "Porn Valley" to witness firsthand how virtual reality is scarily close to creating fully interactive porn before heading to Europe's sex capital, Amsterdam, where the Dutch enthusiastically enlist the use of "teledildonics" to enhance their long-distance relationships.

Along the way we pick apart the digital world's grip on today's relationships. Apps and the rise of social media have revolutionized dating, while virtual affairs end real-life romances and online role-playing games have gone X-rated. Finally, we takes a look at a very modern taboo and ask: Can man's relationship with machine ever translate into real-life intimacy?

The Rift is a joke of a scam, nothing like a heavy 80's sci fi piece of plastic on your face. Not immersive, we're still long ways away from immersion. I wasn't born in the 60's so this stuff isn't impressive at all. Until we get to the point where we can truly feel that we're there and not just sitting in a chair with a hunk of junk on our faces, let me know. Till then Rift is a joke over hyped and overrated. Too much weight, too much black around your sight, the 'eyes' see things differently from each other and at different times so if someone walks by one eye sees it and the other doesn't for a bit. The whole thing is just dumb. BUT that's technology for ya, starts out as a piece of junk joke and maybe, maybe one day becomes something more.

Microsofts hololens is pretty cool looking a definite good step in the right direction. :)
