Virtual Reality Bangers, Inc., (also known as VR Bangers) is a Los Angeles-based company that produces and distributes virtual reality adult entertainment.
History
VR Bangers was founded in 2015 with the aim of exploiting VR technology for rendering pornographic content.[1] The company creates and distributes virtual reality adult content via a network of Internet websites. The company's flagship website VRBangers.com was launched in January 21, 2016.[2]
By early 2016, the site had a total of 15 videos available for viewing.[1]
In 2016, VR Bangers teamed up with British VR firm AuraVisor to offer pay-per-view porn on a VR headset at several hotels in Las Vegas.[3][4][5]
Later that year, the company released the first-ever VR Parody film titled “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Cock - An XXX Parody”.[6]
In early 2017, the company launched a program aimed to bring VR headsets to fertility clinics with an initial launch at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine in Los Angeles.[7][8]
In May 2017, the company launched a controversial advertising campaign that encouraged men to "cheat on their wives" by wearing a VR headset during sexual intercourse.[9][10]
Later that year, the company launched its VR tube site LaidHub.com.[11]
Leadership
As of 2018, the company is led by CEO Daniel Abramovich.[1][10] Boris Smirnoff is the current CTO.[12]
Business model
The company focuses on point-of-view live-action pornography as opposed to straight or motion-capture driven animation.[1] The company's foundation was driven in part by a perceived growing boredom of viewers with conventional video pornography.[1]
As of early 2016, the company remained a self-funded venture without significant investors.[1]
Technological Advancements
The company's platform supports streaming at Ultra HD 4K resolution with binaural sound delivery, with backward compatibility for lower technology playback.[1]
In May 2016, the company announced a collaboration with Amsterdam-based Kiiro, a manufacturer of teledildonics and haptic technology with the aim of syncing VR experiences and smart sex toys. The toys have sensors that feed "pressure data" from a female performer's toy to a remote viewer's responsive male masturbator, or 'sleeve,' in real time.[13]
In 2017, the company developed and released its proprietary VR access app, branded as PLAY’A.[14]
POV Head Rig
The company is credited with developing the POV Head rig,[15] a standalone virtual reality camera in the shape of a human head equipped with stereoscopic cameras in the eyes, binaural sound microphones, and multiple cameras across its surface to achieve 4K resolution that allow actors to provide a more realistic experience for customers.[16]
