make up your. mum. made for mines. out of the. virtual reality could revolutionize the sex industry what's already possible what is being developed and how might these changes affect the digital technology and sex i want topic on shift today. let's be honest despite my personal and foozie as i'm for b. our technology in general i have not taken. very seriously for me it is a nice market for a very special clientele in japan however the concept has really taken off even
8:17 am
special stores here where you can have completely new experiences with. is there perhaps more to the idea after all i took a look at one of these stores in tokyo. asking about in tokyo district is a. computer games alex and the are pornography the company soft on demand alone operate 70 special b r 6 dogs in japan it's one of the largest producers of pornography films in asia. here you can see employees faces to keep things discreet i asked to book a one power of the package it costs almost 1000 yen about a year old all god stuff in these cities have venues like this. can be rented for up to 3 hours there are 3 different options reclining chair reclining mat. i chose reclining match. my booth was on the 2nd floor i'm one meter
8:18 am
93 tall and felt pretty close to fall back on the way out. in the booth i found the our glasses handkerchiefs a telephone slip and countless options it was a little bit confusing to be honest. the lot of people you don't know either because 50 percent of people come here so they have a special service well that i would call for help. help me set up and stop of the films a shot from a subjective camera angle so depending on the where the u.s. seated are lying down you will be watching a different film with the corresponding settings. you can see your own virtual body so this video here wouldn't have made much sense if i had been sitting upright. the sex industry would not be going to those

technological if we didn't expect to profit illegal porn streaming and private providers have resulted in considerable losses in recent years gamble only time will tell whether the op one really does offer a way out of the crisis more and more videos are becoming available on that but what's the attraction. mortal in tokyo is one of japan's leading produces. when you watch a p.r. on a t.v. or a p.c. screen it's usually from a bird's eye view of real v.a.r. emphasizes the experience much more. of a. customer feels as if he could really touch the girl that he has real eye contact or that he can feel her breath next to his ear. so it's a completely different view or perspective to a standard movie that. i found the unusual perspective unsettling.
8:20 am
first impression it's really very detailed a little bit weird to watch to be honest because the woman in that clip i just saw she appears huge this distortion is linked to the distance between our pupils which is different for every person the images are set to a standard distance but this doesn't correspond to the eyes of the person wearing the ja glasses the proportions will be distorted. the film makers of soft on the amount produced that the obvious in this studio everything here is white but this ensures that the background isn't distracting and allows the producers to better direct the viewer's focus. but of course we edited only my mother the strength of b.r. is that it enables different forms of interaction was taken to get allows you to get to a place you couldn't get to before. so into action is the magic word this combination

of technology and emotion is something that can be found most of all in japan according to not lina hi the british author and podcast focuses on ethical issues related to digital technologies. amazing innovation coming out and which is. that you seem to be. a lot of people in a lot of places you are very expressive of that affection for technology and you may end up going in a great relationship ok i kind of love my smartphone too but that's as far as it goes some of the observations already enable you to build your dream partner does that really create deeper connections. being able to configure a virtual partner like in a computer game and having custom made avatars thanks to computer generated images this is a future v.a.r. producer you know moto finds promising. will be possible to design individual body parts such as breasts waist or hips to create your ideal woman with

the help of c.g.i. you have. sex therapist dr michelle paid to refine this technology problematic he says even normal porn films already create unrealistic expectations in his patients . we have somebody to talk to one point. and now we're reaching a new level here the user can actually select his or her ideal partner's body. but the consequence of this would be that any real life partner would end up being compared to this fantasy product how does he construct let's let's listen lots. not only not high also worries about consequences this comparison can have she researches ethical issues surrounding digital technologies. both. being human being and believes about so it's actually quite a complex issue if humans are real be. humans trying to emulate. them selves

in order to look more like natural reality count. models real people trying to look more like virtual of a tot's sounds pretty dubious to me but they are already reports about people having plastic surgery for that reason cutting edge technology and the sex industry seem a good match for not a few has long been a driver for technological advancements by the passion boss the author of the erotic engine is certain that without tomography the internet would not have grown so quickly not convinced well yes some examples online payment systems without paypal in size the payment would be a simple and secure as it is today online streaming without radio streaming software developed for pornography sites media platforms would struggle to deliver news clips online advertising without advertising from sex size many free internet services wouldn't exist and now we are even in the development of sex toys
8:24 am
experiments are being made but virtual reality and for once the products on offer not merely targeted at unmet we are. exclamation of surprise from an ad by dutch sex toy manufacturer the company offers a vibrator that can be linked to v.r. glasses by an apple special vibrations which correspond to what's happening in the film or transmitted by the gadget. of course there are similar products for men to for example virtual made a device for men that works with the r. and real time sensors and promises a realistic erotic experience. such devices can also be linked using apps and controlled remotely by someone's partner possibility that some couples find appealing. but i think that nothing that enables us to relate. more fully with someone else especially when so many of us are at
8:25 am
distance where for instance in a pandemic if you looked in different cities it's going. to express your desire for the other partner and a different way and so i think it is designed to create a connection in a way that people want and that's one. sense of the cover of night and pandemic began digital adult entertainment services have become more popular well direct physical contact is rather difficult at the moment especially for singles the us porn web site porn up as reza says up to 25 percent more hits on its site this year many people really miss physical contact that's why research is currently being conducted about how to make virtual experiences even better one promising possibility special suits that simulate touch and warmth haptic and technology when paired with yassin can be really powerful because it gives us physical cues it's a physical sensation that he to trust to digital touch and that's going to be much
8:26 am
more plentiful and much more real and physical and actual sense and just having some. visual or auditory. soft on demand in tokyo is currently working on integrating additional sensations the goal is to eventually include all of our senses in the v.o.r. experience. what would you know at the moment we're testing new technologies to make that he or experience even better it is a lot easier for example we are working on a technology for smells like a woman's mouth to thank you. well feel taste prospects seem busying already offers the possibility to slip into other characters or other bodies or for example to playfully change sex if we are not amiss. the sense of anonymity can give us a great feeling of freedom to disclose and to be honest and. able to express things that we might otherwise and difficult so i think given the reality office that
8:27 am
possibility it is very possible that we can be more insular nuts that could technology really help us to better understand our own sexuality and so to gain a better understanding of others in real relationships it's an interesting thought if you like. i might maybe one day all of us will not only want to have sex in our bedrooms but in the dream worlds that are most exciting for us on the constant that . that would be one way i could see virtual reality providing exciting possibilities for users in everyday life. not just as pornography but for couples as well documented service you also come. to be our sector is expecting the market to grow to 13 and a half 1000000000 euros by 2022 and this includes sex products after all many people enjoy exploring new options we are very adaptive as humans and we can learn to find those things as exciting and erotic and normal given the amount of time to
8:28 am
get used to it so yeah i think a lot of us will end up expanding our sexual records income that remains to be seen we're quite a way are really natural looking and i and i think a certain point we might end up singing but in the other direction and once in real physical human contact with human beings what do you think what do you try adrià sex to technology and feelings go together share your opinions with us on facebook on d w dot com if you want to know more about. reality check out. that's it for me thank you your next time. the i.
