Maybe you already have the Oculus Rift and you want to upgrade to Rift S for VR Porn. Or you have something like the Oculus Go or Quest. If you have a VR Headset, you must have tried VR Porn (if you have not, why are you here?). But is the new VR Headset from Oculus any improvement when watching VR Porn?
Well it depends what your previous VR Headset is. If you are coming from Google Cardboard, the difference is the sky. But if you are comparing Oculus Rift S for VR Porn with the previous version, not so much.
For watching VR Porn the most important thing is resolution and pixel density of the screen. I will post the comparison below:
Oculus Rift S vs. Oculus Rift
Oculus Rift S | Oculus Rift | |
---|---|---|
Resolution | 2560×1440 (1280×1440 per eye) | 2160×1200 (1080×1200 per eye) |
Pixel Density | Approx. 600ppi | 456ppi |
Screen Type | LCD | Pentile AMOLED |
Refresh Rate | 80Hz | 90Hz |
Field of View | Approx. 115° | 110° |
So the resolution went a bit up. But not significantly, and the refresh rate went down. Another change is moving to LCD instead of AMOLED. Because of this I now tend to see less pixels on the screen and less flare. But not by much.
For me the biggest reason to upgrade to Oculus Rift S would be the sensors. Far less cables around the room. And the fact that it has incorporated cameras. So I can switch on the cameras and see if someone is spying on me. I am weird like that.
But let’s say you have an Oculus Go or even better, Oculus Quest. Do you even need a Oculus Rift S for VR Porn? For sure! (Unless you travel a lot)
With the Rift, you can watch higher resolution VR Porn videos like 6K or even 8K, not something you can do on standalone vr headsets at the moment. But we can only hope..
OK, enough of this. Time to watch some VR Porn.
