Pornhub Launches Virtual Reality Category on Website
Leading Adult Site Partners With BaDoinkVR to Become First Free Platform to Feature 360 Degree Virtual Reality Adult Entertainment
To Commemorate the Launch Pornhub is Giving Away 10,000 Pairs of Virtual Reality Goggles
New York, NY and Rochester, NY (March 23, 2016)Pornhub – the premier online destination for adult entertainment, and BaDoinkVR, a leader in adult virtual reality entertainment announced that they have partnered to launch a virtual reality category on Pornhub’s platform, making it the first free adult website to feature 360-degree adult content. In partnership with BaDoinkVR, Pornhub will now feature virtual reality videos optimized for both Android and iOS mobile devices, playable through most virtual reality headsets including Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, and Google Cardboard with smartphones. To commemorate the launch, Pornhub is giving away 10,000 pairs of virtual reality goggles to provide users with the immersive experience and is also releasing a fun, infomercial style video to promote the new category.
“At Pornhub it is our duty to provide our global audience with the latest in cutting edge technology. Virtual reality is the next phase in the constantly metamorphosing world of adult entertainment, and will provide users with a mesmeric experience unlike anything they’ve seen before. Now, our users are not only able to view our content, but be protagonists in the experience and interact with their favorite porn stars,” said Corey Price, Vice President, Pornhub. “We encourage our users to request a free pair of virtual reality goggles and visit Pornhub’s virtual reality section. There, users’ wildest fantasies will come alive as they slip into a world of heightened titillation.”
Virtual reality has become a mainstream phenomenon, kickstarting a new era of interconnectivity. According to estimates from Piper Jaffray, an investment bank and asset management firm, by 2025 adult virtual reality is forecasted to be a $1 billion business, the third biggest virtual reality sector, behind videogames and NFL-related content. BaDoinkVR is a key player in the overall adoption of virtual reality across the adult entertainment industry, featuring today’s most popular porn actresses, performing in original scenes shot exclusively by the industry’s most accomplished producers.
“We’re incredibly excited to be providing the content and tech behind Pornhub’s new initiative,” said Todd Glider, CEO, BaDoinkVR. “After decades of kicks and starts, virtual reality is finally hitting its stride. McDonalds Happy Meal boxes are doubling as Google Cardboard; now Pornhub is tossing its hat in the ring. Calling this revolution in mass communication a fad, resisting the urge to Drink the Kool Aid, grows steadily more irrational.”
Unlike similar adult entertainment offerings already on the market, the exclusive collection of 360-degree audiovisual simulations are available to Pornhub users for free. To streamline the content and ensure maximum efficiency, Pornhub has built-in Google Cardboard support to the official Pornhub Android app (http://www.pornhub.com/fun/android ). Pornhub also supports Google Cardboard for Android devices on the mobile web browser. For iOS users, Pornhub supports Google Cardboard and a wide variety of other mobile headsets via an official VR player app developed by BaDoinkVR.”. Oculus Rift, set to begin shipping at month’s end, is supported via Pornhub’s official player—likewise powered by BaDoinkVR technology—and all VR videos are available for download to play on the device.
