Oculus porn – the ultimate guide

If you’ve got yourself an Oculus Rift, you’re likely someone that embraces virtual reality and wants to experience it’s full potential. Playing virtual reality games on the Rift is amazing and discovering the virtual world is a great experience by itself. But we all know there’s another thing you’ve been looking forward to… virtual porn!

As Rift user, you’re probably tech-savvy enough that you don’t need a guide. But still, having it laid out for you is much easier than figuring stuff out yourself 🙂 In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to know to get the best Oculus porn experience possible!

Getting your Rift ready

As always, we start off with a quick device walk trough. If you already have your Rift fully set up, you don’t need to read this and can skip ahead to the interesting part.

The Oculus Rift comes with a headset, sensor bar, remote and Xbox controller. Before installing the hardware, you’ll need to install the Oculus app on the computer you’ll be using with the Rift. This software will help you set up and configure your Oculus Rift.

1. Download and install the Oculus app on your PC. Open it and click Next.
2. Create an Oculus account if you don’t have one yet. Thenlick Continue.
   

   

3. Configure your Privacy Settings and add a payment method and PIN. You’ll need this to access the Oculus store.
4. Press Next to set up your Rift.

That was easy right? Now you’re ready to connect your Oculus headset. Just follow the setup wizard. It will guide you through each step of the way.

Using the Oculus remote
For watching VR porn on the Rift, the Xbox controller is optional depending on the player you choose. The Oculus remote however, comes in handy. Below you’ll see a compact overview of the remote’s functions:

You can use the Oculus remote to browse trough Oculus Home and watch VR porn. 

So, there’s that. Now you’re all set up and ready to enter Oculus Home and start your trip to wonderland!

How to watch porn on the Oculus Rift

Don’t ask us why, but providing a first class video player doesn’t seem to be a major concern for Oculus. The Rift’s default app ‘Oculus Player’ comes short on many things, the most important being the lack of support for 180° video, which is needed to watch VR porn.

There are quite a few alternative players out there, such as BigScreen and SimpleVR or players developed by adult companies like the BaDoink Player . We’ve tested most – if not all – of them. Bottom line: for watching 180° and 360° porn, two really stand out in terms of quality and options:

• DeoVR: A basic player with a super simple setup, which supports all video.
• WhirliGig: An advanced player with lots of customization options, which supports most video.

Both players offer excellent performance and smooth playback. You can zoom in and out and tilt while playing the video, allowing you to make fine adjustments if the video itself is somewhat out of proportion. Or… to make those titties look even larger, whichever you please 😛

Because of it’s simplicity, DeoVR is the player we’d usually recommend. However, some porn suppliers, like WankzVR, offer pre-defined settings for WhirliGig that increase the video quality noticeably. Also, Whirligig offers ‘save slots’ which allow you to quickly navigate to your favorite part of the video. A feature that comes in handy when watching porn!

Oculus Home, the starting place for every action, with DeoVR and Whirligig added. 

So, we leave it up to you. We’ll guide you through the set up of both players. Regardless of which you choose, first you’re going to need to get the right codecs to play the videos.

Install K-lite Codec Pack
To make sure you can play all the different video formats, you’ll need to install a codec pack like K-lite:

1. Download the K-lite codec pack, choose the basic version.
2. Install it, make sure you skip/uncheck any adware that comes with it!
3. Run the Codec Tweak Tool at the end of the installation.
4. Under ‘Win7DSFiltertweaker’ (bottom right), click on ‘Preferred Decoders‘.
5. Change all options on the right to “LAV Video” all of the way down.
   

   

6. Click ‘Apply & Close‘ and exit the Tweaker.

Now it’s time to set up the video player. Choose the player you’d like to use.

• 1. DeoVR player

• 2. Whirligig VR player

1. Play videos using DeoVR player

Installing the codec pack actually was the hard part. The DeoVR set up is pretty straightforward:

1. Download the VR porn videos you’d like to watch. Keep the filenames intact.
2. Download DeoVR from the Oculus Store and install it.
3. Launch the Oculus app and put on your Rift.
4. Inside Oculus Home, go to your library. Find and launch DeoVR Video Player.
5. Click on the folder icon inside DeoVR and browse to the folder that contains your videos.
   

   

6. Play the video you’d like to watch. Enjoy!

Easy right? You can hook up the Xbox controller to navigate through the videos more easily. The zoom and tilt function will come in handy when watching porn videos from different studios.

2. Play videos using Whirligig player

Whirligig is another player many Oculus users prefer. It has a steep learning curve, but you configure it perfectly it will deliver the best video quality. Fortunately, some VR porn sites offer .ini files with pre-defined settings for optimal quality

To set up Whirligig player, simply follow these steps:

1. Buy and install Whirligig player on Steam ($3.99). There’s a free version as well, but it doesn’t support 180° video, which is used for most porn videos. Create a Steam account if you don’t have one yet.
2. Launch Steam and go to Library » Software. Then right click on Whirligig and select ‘Properties’.
3. Click on the Beta tab and opt to use the latest Beta version in the drop-down. Whirligig is still under development, so it’s best to make sure you always use the latest version.
   

   

4. Launch the Oculus app and click on ‘Settings’. Go to General and enable ‘Unknown Sources‘ to allow the SteamVR app in Oculus Home.
   

   

5. Open Steam again, launch Whirligig and put on your Rift. You’ll see the Whirligig overlay.
6. Select the folder icon and browse to the folder containing your videos. Select the video you’d like to play.
   

   

7. Play the video. Enjoy 🙂

You can use the Oculus remote, Xbox controller and mouse & keyboard to control Whirligig. We recommend using mouse & keyboard as it makes it easier to navigate through Whirligig.

If you’re going to use the Xbox controller. This is the default configuration:

If you like, you can modify the configuration in Whirligig. You’ll find the mouse & keyboard controls on the Whirligig website.

Note: If the video image isn’t looking right, chances are you need to adjust the configuration. For 180° video set projection to Cinema SBS, choose ‘Fisheye’ and set FOV to 180. For 360° video set projection to Cinema SBS, choose ‘Barrel’ and set FOV to 360.

Optimizing your VR porn experience

Now you know how to watch Oculus porn, we’re going to make sure you’ll get the best virtual experience possible. There are quite a few things you can do to make these bridesmaids look even more real.

1. Getting the best viewing quality

First things first: viewing quality. Both the quality of the video footage and the content itself play a huge part in virtual reality. Remember, you’re not just watching hot models having sex. You are the center of it. To get total immersion, you’ll need to consider a few things:

1. Acquire high quality VR porn: Same as with regular porn, there are enough places where you can get virtual reality porn for free. However, these free videos are limited in quality or length and usually both. In any case, the quality of your experience is seriously degraded. It’s a fine way to get familiar with virtual porn but, down the road, consider getting yourself some Premium VR porn. For just a few bucks you can get a trial account and compare the difference!

2. Choose the right player: This can make all the difference. Both performance and usability vary greatly among video players. We recommend either DeoVR or Whirligig. If you’re a tweaker, choose Whirligig and use it’s abundance of settings (or the .ini config files that come with the video) to improve the the video quality even further.
3. Adjust your Rift: Each time you put on the Rift, adjust the straps so that it fits well on your head without it being to tight. The less you are aware of your headset, the better the experience. When possible, darken the room to minimize light bleed. Most importantly, adjust the lens slider (on the bottom right of your Rift) each time, until text becomes perfectly readable.
4. Clean the Rift’s lenses: It doesn’t take long for fingerprints or dust to settle in on the Rift’s lenses, which can be very distracting. Use a microfiber cloth to clean them on a regularly base. Even better is to use special lense cleaning spray.

2. Getting total immersion

When you’ve got access to high quality porn and taken the necessary steps to optimize your virtual experience, there are a few things you can do to improve it even further:

1. Switch to Oculus Earphones: Even though video quality is key, audio plays an important part as well. Premium VR porn comes with so called binaural audio, which adds a 3D effect to create a lifelike experience. For most, the build-in earphones will be just fine. However, if you don’t mind investing $49, there is a better alternative. When Oculus announced their Earphones, they promised “advanced noise isolation and drivers optimized for VR” which should provide “an even deeper sense of presence.” And, truth be told, the Earphones did get some great reviews.
   

   

2. Choose a quiet, private room. Remember, when in VR-mode – especially with noise cancelling Earphones on – you’re unaware of your physical environment. So, pick a time when you’re alone or at least lock your door to make sure you’re not interrupted when you’re getting it on.
3. Extend your cables: To experience full immersion, you will need to position yourself exactly as the passive actor does in the video. If you’re own position is off even a bit, you’ll notice the angles just don’t feel right. Unless you’re couch or bed is right near your PC, this means you’ll need to extend your HDMI and USB cables. Oculus says (but doesn’t guarantee) this should cause no problems.
   

   

4. Don’t get overdressed: The passive actor usually just wheres a shirt or is fully naked. If you’re in your full set of clothes yourself. It just won’t feel as real.

Final Oculus porn tips

If you reached the end of this guide, we’re quite sure you’ll get the best possible experience when watching porn on the Oculus Rift. There’s just one more thing we’d like to point out and then we’ll leave you to it 😉

Keep your sessions private!

This is something you do not want to forget. You know people are going to want to try your Oculus headset and – if you don’t monitor their sessions – you have no idea what they’re doing in there.
So, make sure you don’t have to worry about it:

• Wipe your player’s history 
  Whichever player you use, make sure you erase the recent files history. Most players offer this feature, so don’t forget to use it! Also, make sure that if the player remembers the the most recently used folder, it isn’t the one that contains your porn collection.
• Wipe your browser history
  If you use a web browser to view regular porn (which is also nice in VR, but not nearly as nice as virtual porn), don’t use Oculus’ native browser. You can’t fully wipe it’s history, because it’s ‘back button’ always remembers the last pages. Use an alternative, such as Firefox Nightly build.

That’s it. You’re home safe!
