For those unable to wait for AI robotic RealDolls to replace the Dyson’s suction (Latest Picks 20th Dec. 2016):
Holographic porn to bring 3D naked women into your living room in 2017 (mirror.co.uk).
“The release of virtual reality headsets such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive has shaken up the porn industry in 2016, giving rise to a whole new genre of adult entertainment. But 2017 looks set for a brand new porn craze—if the work of two indie companies is anything to go by.”
And there’s the rub, the one you’ll still be doing over the same porn as usual for the time being, it doesn’t yet exist and only will if interest is… like it hasn’t been for CD-i (interactive) back in the late 90s and Teledildonics more recently.
“CamSoda and Holodexx have both announced plans to start bringing three-dimensional naked women into people’s living rooms, with the use of pornographic holograms. Adult webcam platform CamSoda has unveiled a new technology called Holo-Cam that delivers 3D projections of cam models into people’s homes, using a smartphone and a 3D projector. The models are filmed in a studio, and Holo-Cam will be available as part of a weekly show and for private shows at an additional cost, according to The Daily Dot.”
So basically not a million Mbs away from what’s already on token fee cam’tastic offer, but also not from what porn-frowning Microsoft’s HoloLens et al. did too, which promised a lot did not quite delivered yet either—and when it did, had to be swept under the carpet ala Google Glass from a mixture of stigma and privacy concerns. But when they do, it will probably envision violence and naked woman too (which. truthfully, as was noted, was the killer app Google’s Matt Cutts’ cookies could just not allow even though porn had took an interest (Pick of the Week 19th Dec. 2014).
Lets just hope the quality can match the high-resolution we have got used to rather than the blurry holograms that even the article used as it is obviously the expectation, and, as popular as it is in porn parody, dare I say an early feature guaranteed to plead:

And while we wait for that with VR more cheaply accessible by sticking your phone inside a pair of goggles (amazon.co.uk), why not add updated scratch n’ sniff for further … presence:
Bizarre mask that pumps out smell of “private parts” and “panties” promises to take VR porn to the next level (mirror.co.uk).
“CamSoda is hoping to tap into another of the five senses, in an attempt to make virtual reality porn even more realistic. CamSoda has announced the launch of a ‘sensory mask’ called OhRoma, that provides users with ‘an assortment of sensual aromas’ while they are watching porn on a VR headset. Aromas on offer include ‘private parts’, ‘body odor’, ‘fragrances’, ‘panties’, ‘aphrodisiacs’ and ‘breath’.”
Indeed, VR getting in on what panties and their particular profitable fragrance in Orange Is the New Black did for said used panties business’ online reality: The used panty business has exploded thanks to Orange Is the New Black (vice.com, Jun. 2015)
Although… “breath?” Seriously?

And while chaps—or indeed, fems of a certain adventurous persuasion—await holo poon to rise, those with a more celebrity cunnilingus fantasy like artist Alexandra Rubinstein (17th Nov. 206) may find their tongue flicked bean canoe floated first:
Meet Jon Hamm, the hologram (aka the holohamm) (cnet.com).
“I trudged through a foot of snow to peek at how mixed reality may bring us closer to the stars we adore. OK, really, I trudged through a foot of snow to hold a miniature Jon Hamm in the palm of my hand. But mixed-reality revelations were a bonus. … On the heels of virtual reality, mixed and augmented reality are the next tech-hype darling, driven by projects like Microsoft’s HoloLens and buzzy-but-secretive startup Magic Leap. Demos like the holographic Hamm provide a glimpse at the tech’s possibilities for entertainment”

Cam girls are beating a path toward Virtual Reality (inverse.com).
“The porn industry has always been on the forefront of technological progress. Modern society can thank pornography for helping make VCRs a household item and creating a demand for faster internet connections so people could stream naughty videos. Now, it’s on to the next frontier: virtual reality. Revenue for the VR and augmented reality market is projected to grow from $5.2 billion in 2016 to more than $162 billion in 2020—and cam girls, who perform live for viewers at home, are helping drive that technological revolution forward. … Switzerland-based virtual reality camera company Terpon will give one thousand of its Hermes and Artemis 3D-VR webcams to members of the camming community this month. Already, there are porn studios creating virtual reality videos, and by getting cam models to broadcast in virtual reality, Terpon hopes to catalyze the emergence of VR in the mainstream marketplace.”
Indeed, porn has always been at the forefront of technological progress but, I’d have to say, can also represent a metaphorical premature ejaculation inherent in some much-hyped tech advancements which don’t work out.
