CYBERSPACE—Anyone who has ever held a paper Spiderman comic in their hands can recall the scent of the paper, the tactile feeling in the fingertips, and the way the words leaped off the page, begging to be further enhanced by the fertile mind of the reader, rather than passively observed the way traditional television or movies were meant to be seen.
And now, virtual reality is adding new layers of realism that make some recent releases far more immersive than anything Hollywood has managed to produce.
“That was always the issue with taking a creative character from a comic book and trying to turn it into a Hollywood story on a flat screen,” said Andy Alvarez of VR3000.com. “The moment you take a protagonist from a work of fiction and try to insert it into a passive film adaptation, it loses most of its luster. It’s not about which actor played Spiderman; it’s about the fact that whoever they put in the suit wasn’t you and that ruins the experience of many. VR overcomes all of that in a whole new way.”
Rather than looking at a screen from across the room, virtual reality allows people to experience a multi-sensory viewpoint of the action as if they are the central character, and fans are finding that to be far more exhilarating in much the same way cosplay has become popular in the real world.
“The Amazing Home Cumming, a Spiderman parody on our site, has proven to be wildly popular, in part because of the comic look and feel, but far moreso because the customer is cast as Spiderman and can enjoy the entire experience in full 180 degree 3D from Spidey’s point of view!” exclaimed Alvarez. “Game of Bones brings the Mother of Dragons to life on the battlefield in ways HBO never could, by immersing the audience in every moment of the action. It goes beyond that with nearly every kind of celebrity encounter, like our recent video parody of YouTube star Michelle Phan, who has more than 100 million users.”
These adaptations aren’t just another round of adult entertainment parodies that poke fun at the kind of content Hollywood produces. When one looks closely at these productions, it’s easy to see that major film studios could benefit from the lesson that their flagship intellectual properties become far more compelling the moment filming in 2D stops and VR opens up the universe to allow spectators to feel like they are part of the cast instead.
Those who'd like to see this phenomenon for themselves can check out VR3000.com and see what 60FPS 180 degree content with binaural sound and 3D POV viewpoints really feels like.
Affiliate marketers are already flocking to VRBallers.com, so now is the time to cash in on the lucrative shift toward VR porn and away from tubes and other outlets. It’s the easiest thing to promote, and the parodies are making it even more accessible to a whole new wave of potential customers.
