Why You Can’t Watch 3D Porn on Apple Vision Pro (Yet)
According to posters on the oculusnsfw subreddit , early users of Apple’s just-released Apple Vision Pro virtual reality glasses discovered that they couldn’t be used to enjoy immersive 3D porn. The Vision Pro can stream, download and play “regular” porn videos on giant virtual reality screens, but immersive 3D videos created specifically for virtual or augmented reality won’t currently work on your Apple Vision Pro – at least not if it configured out of the box.
I spoke with Alex Novak, CEO of virtual reality porn platform Sex Like Real, to find out what’s going on. According to Novak, the reason users can’t watch “real” VR porn on their $3,500 Apple Vision Pro comes down to one word: “Apple.”
“We expected from the beginning that Sex Like Real would work in Apple Vision Pro’s Safari browser, just like it works in the Meta browser,” Novak said, “but they completely disabled WebXR (software interface for accessing devices augmented and virtual reality). ) in your browser.”
Novak hopes the company behind DEOvr, the Sex Like Real video platform, is working on a solution.
Not including WebXR means no VR porn, but it also means you won’t have access to a lot of non-adult VR and AR content like web games, tours, productivity apps, etc. Luckily, there is a way to enable WebXR on your Vision Pro, but at the time of publication you will still be deprived of porn, at least on Sex Like Real.
How to enable WebXR on Apple Vision Pro
According to Apple Insider , Safari supports WebXR, but it’s disabled by default, so you’ll have to tinker with the settings a bit to get it to work.
-
Open settings.
-
Select Applications.
-
Select Safari.
-
Scroll to the bottom of the window and select Advanced.
-
Scroll to the bottom of the window and select Feature Flags.
-
In the XR Experimental Features section, enable the WebXR Device API and the WebXR Manual Input Module.
-
Under WebKit Feature Flags, enable the WebXR Augmented Reality Module and the WebXR GamePads Module.
-
Exit settings.
-
Open Safari, or if it’s already open, refresh the WebXR-enabled page to see if it works.
I ran this solution by Novak, who tried it out and reported: “The hub opens, but the video cannot be launched. I’m going to make it work in the next few days.”
Until this issue is resolved, Meta Quest 3 will remain the best choice for virtual reality porn. If you want to give it a try, check out my guide to augmented porn on the Quest 3 .
