CYBERSPACE—Pioneering adult e-tailer GameLink.com hopes to lead the digital sexual revolution with plans to launch 3D interactive porn via Microsoft’s RoomAlive. The RoomAlive software—initially developed two years ago—is a merger of Microsoft's Kinect motion-tracking system and LCD projectors, and uses projection to display images on a 3D depth-sensitive map.
“If you take a look at the evolution of technology, you’ll notice the adult industry has always been at the forefront, experimenting with new angles,” said GameLink’s Vice President of Business Development Jeff Dillon.
“From early availability on VHS to domination of the Internet, and evolved privacy advancements, it’s only natural the adult entertainment industry adopt interactive 3D technology,” added Dillon. “Interactive sexual gameplay will definitely play a huge role in the future of porn.”
The adult industry is widely recognized for its early adoption of technology and new media. Video chat and webcams, used long before the mainstream community, were predominantly utilized by the adult industry to broadcast live sex shows. Digital cameras rose to prominence largely due to erotic photographers' desire for privacy and to avoid having to develop film via photo-processing companies. Pornographers also helped launch the adoption of VHS, as many consumers preferred watching movies in the privacy of their own homes. Additionally, adult entertainment is the largest e-commerce sector, often leading to advanced developments in Internet security software.
Microsoft’s Windows Media player, which was one of the first technologies to introduce users to video-on-demand, webcast audio, and video streaming technology, launched a new era of how customers consumed porn, and now Microsoft’s new software, RoomAlive, will be the first to establish 3D interactive porn.
GameLink.com—already a major force in the online adult market with its extensive catalog, intelligent recommendation system, and sophisticated privacy cloud—is currently in the research and development phases of adult 3D interactive technology, and looks forward to introducing it to porn fans worldwide.
“Right now we don’t have a timetable on when this new advancement in adult entertainment will be available,” stated Dillon. “There’s still a lot of work to do to ensure the best consumer experience, but one thing is for certain: 3D interactive adult content is coming.”
