Three dimensions of porn - October 2004
Whoever said porn was one-dimensional should really check out 3DSexvilla, or any of the many new 3D erotica items for the PC. When I first started this website four years ago with the intention of bringing interactive porn and sex games into the limelight, I had no idea just how cool these "games" would eventually become.
Porn was just starting to discover 3D graphics back then, and eventually caught up to the level of technology that can be found in today's cutting edge video games. But before all that, some porn developers crossed over from VHS to CD-Rom, before rapidly exploding into the DVD market. The 'adult cd-rom market' died, and the porn industry never looked back. DVDs, along with the internet, are what fuels that industry now.
But they gave up too soon. Or at least now they should reconsider interactive erotica for computers. Graphics are getting close to photo-realistic, and they are only going to get more and more realistic, to the point of true photo-realism.
Right now, independent developers like Thrixxx, who create 3D sex games like 3dSexVilla and 3DSlut, ply their trade online, with downloadable new content updated regularly. Many other indies are going the same route. The women in these products are already more realistic than they are cartoonish (unless that's the intention, like in Hentai3D), and the technology is already available to allow people, or better yet, porn stars, to have their bodies scanned into a 3D environment.
The paradox is that we won't necessarily need living, breathing people if the graphics are so realistic that you can't tell the difference. But fans like a familiar face, and I think consumers in general want their virtual girls to be as human as possible. Plus a voice-over is mandatory.
Virtual sex DVDs are cool, but they're still just video. It's only a matter of time before truly interactive adult entertainment becomes available, not just on the internet, but on the once dreaded 'cd-rom.' You know, those discs that all video games already come on.
