Holoporn...

New technology is doing the preview rounds of the porn industry


Link Here8th November 2015

Anikka Albrite, August Ames and Manuel Ferrara all performed in a scene like nothing ever seen before. That scene was the world's first Synthologram porn scene produced for virtual reality viewing.

Adult industry performers and insiders got a preview the scene and experience the technology one week early on September. Along with the Synthologram scene, the new studio HoloFilm Productions LLC will show off the world's first hologram porn, featuring Lily LaBeau and Brent Ray Fraser. Brian Shuster, CEO of HoloFilms explained:

Hologram and Synthologram porn are the holy grails of adult content. It's what porn fans have dreamt about for years, and it's what's going to get the money back into the business This has to be seen to be believed! Not only is this porn better than anything that's ever been created before, but it currently cannot be pirated. We intend to keep it that way.

Virtually Useless...

Oculus Rift gets all censorial about permitted uses of its virtual reality headset


Link Here14th June 2015
It seems like Oculus Rift founder Palmer Lucky doesn't make the decisions at the company anymore, if a new report regarding pornography and the virtual reality headset is anything to go by.

While Lucky previously said he would never block porn content or games , when the device launches -- a spokesman has confirmed to Business Insider that not only will they not allow pornography on their app store, they'll block any porn content being submitted.

Oculus were also asked about the use of the headset for violent gaming but the company was non committal saying:

Oculus only distributes developer content that meets their terms of service, but they aren't open to discuss what those terms are at this time.

However Palmer Lucky also previously said that the device is an open platform, which leaves the door open to other companies developing side-loading apps, games, and so on, that are not included in the official app store.

Updated: Frankly my dear, I don't give a dam...

Authors object to book censorship app that converts their carefully constructed prose into shite


Link Here29th March 2015

An app that blanks out swear words in e-books hasn't gone down well among writers including Chocolat author Joanne Harris, who have explained that the app is censoring their work without permission.

The app operates on a sliding scale from clean , which removes only the strongest swear words, to squeaky clean which even takes out damn .

Harris wrote a scathing critique of the Clean Reader application which has been designed to help parents shield their children from strong language. Condemning the app on her blog, in a post titled why I'm saying "fuck you" to Clean Reader , Harris likened the programme to examples of suppression from history. She said:

Anyone who works with words understands their power. Words, if used correctly, can achieve almost anything. To tamper with what is written -- however much we may dislike certain words and phrases -- is to embrace censorship. We've been down this road before. We should know where it leads by now. It starts with blanking out a few words. It goes on to drape table legs and stick fig leaves onto statues. It progresses to denouncing gay or Jewish artists as "degenerate". It ends with burning libraries and erasing whole civilizations from history.

Apps like Clean Reader change the text without the author's permission. They take the author's words and replace them -- sometimes very clumsily -- on the basis of some perceived idea of "bad words" versus "good words". No permission is sought, or granted. There is no opt-out clause for authors or publishers.

Laurie Penny, a journalist and author, added: There's now an app for taking the swearwords out of books. I find this fucking horrifying .

Charlie Stross, a science fiction writer wrote on Twitter: This - from an author's point of view - is an obscenity: algorithmic censorship of ebooks.

Update: How the app works

29th March 2015. See article from freethinker.co.uk

How it works is that you load your ebook into the app via iTunes; you can then select one of three filter levels, from mild censorship to the full monty; and the app does a find-and-replace using a database of "offensive" words selected by the Maughans, replacing them with "clean" versions.

For instance, body parts in the genital region of women are all turned into "bottom"; "fuck" becomes "freak"; "breast" becomes "chest", "whore" becomes "hussy"; and "bitch" becomes "witch" (which could get somewhat confusing if the book actually discusses dogs). "Sex" is changed to "love", "penis" to "groin" and "blowjob" to "pleasure". (See a fuller list here ).

 

 

Red Light Centre...

Adult virtual world set to adopt virtual reality headset technology


Link Here21st January 2015
The adult virtual world Red Light Center has confirmed a virtual reality version of the site that will use the Oculus Rift headset

Utherverse Digital is making its X-rated virtual world Red Light Center compatible with Oculus Rift. The virtual world lets you visit bars, hotels and clubs for virtual adult fun

The naughty online destination, based on Amsterdam's red light area, will effectively become the first massively multiplayer online game available for the virtual reality headset.

Utherverse CEO told VentureBeat in an interview:

Porn and sex and social interaction is universal. It appeals to almost everybody. This is yet another example of porn and sex leading technology forward.

Red Light Center works like Second Life or any other virtual world - letting you create an avatar and interact with other players as well as non-playable characters (NPCs). The site originally launched in 2005 and, according to Shuster, has around 25 million registered users who pay a monthly subscription.
