VR expert predicts ‘metaverse sex’ will replace traditional porn apps and websites within 10 years
NEW YORK, BRONX (ORDO News) — In a bold projection, VR expert Sam Hall, managing director of Mixed Reality Rooms, anticipates a future where sex in the metaverse becomes a widespread phenomenon, driven by the convenience that VR technologies offer, Daily Mail writes.
Hall draws parallels to the adoption of dating apps, asserting that people will embrace the ease and reduced risk associated with virtual interactions, envisioning a scenario where individuals from various backgrounds don VR headsets to engage in virtual sexual experiences within the metaverse.
Hall predicts a shift in the accessibility of VR headsets over the next decade, speculating that this evolution may phase out traditional pornography apps and websites, much like dating apps did to magazines. As a result, VR sex toys and ‘multi-sensory’ VR experiences, complete with smells, may become the ‘new normal’ within the next ten years.
The integration of haptic technology, which responds to inputs and generates physical outcomes, coupled with connected sex toys, is expected to enhance the immersive nature of virtual experiences.
However, Hall acknowledges the ethical concerns surrounding consent and potential misuse of people’s images in the metaverse, emphasizing the importance of addressing these issues.
The rise of multi-sensory VR, incorporating sight, sound, touch, smell, and even taste, is anticipated to further normalize metaverse sex. Hall envisions a future where VR headsets are linked with sex toys using existing technologies like Bluetooth to create fully immersive experiences.
While the idea of ‘smelling’ in virtual reality might seem like science fiction, recent developments in Sweden have seen the introduction of a device that sends aromas to users’ noses during video game play.
Hall suggests that the metaverse will revolutionize the landscape of sexual interactions by enabling users to simulate encounters in various locations, both real and fictional.
The limitless possibilities of the metaverse, according to Hall, allow individuals to explore their sexual fantasies privately or even in front of a virtual audience.
The potential impact of metaverse sex on dating dynamics is also discussed, with Hall proposing that the metaverse may provide an alternative outlet for those who struggle to find partners in traditional dating scenarios.
He suggests that the metaverse could potentially ‘balance out’ the dating scene, offering a virtual space where individuals can assume different personas and have diverse experiences.
Hall acknowledges the complexity and ethical implications of these developments, noting that while the metaverse may cater to basic human desires, it raises questions about the impact on human relationships and societal norms.
He predicts that the convergence of VR technologies, metaverse spaces, and sex toys will lead to the gradual development of virtual romance and sexual interactions.
While there are already instances of people engaging in virtual intimacy through online multiplayer games and simulations, the seamless integration of these technologies is still in its early stages.
