LOS ANGELES — VR3000 has reportedly entered into negotiations to bring the virtual reality experience to many European hotels, with a deal said to cover 85 percent of the EU’s rooms.
According to the company, as hotels continue to seek ways to recoup revenue from outdated television erotica services that have been lost to newer tablets, laptops and mobile devices thanks to the proliferation of internet porn, the new advances in VR technology are becoming an obvious way to make paid in-room adult entertainment a viable income stream once again.
What seems to be even more important is the impact hotels offering VR porn may soon have on the advancement of the entire VR tech industry.
“The hotel chains we are speaking with were immediately receptive to the idea of showrooming VR content within their hotel rooms as part of a broader package of virtual reality offerings for guests,” explains Andy Alvarez of VR3000.com. “Firms in all sectors are seeking innovative ways to get VR gear in the hands of potential customers because it’s easiest to sell VR content to a client base after they have had the opportunity to see why it is so much more immersive than flat screen traditional media parallels.”
In 2015, Hilton announced it would remove porn from its pay-per-view in-room service offerings, following an earlier 2011 decision by Marriott to end on-demand adult entertainment in its rooms via television set-top boxes, but the moves were financial rather than cultural, as the availability of Wi-Fi access is nearly every hotel room and ability of guests to simply watch their favorite adult content via their smartphone, tablet or laptop instead made the entire per-minute business model of hotel TV pricing unsustainable.
“That’s the thing with hotel VR porn: Hotels can easily provide devices for a rental fee or as a complimentary value added item as part of any stay,” Andy adds. “Whether hotels want a basic VR experience or a full suite of VR services, our industry-leading content and award-winning support team are available right now to make it happen.”
