This is true. I use my quest 3 for adult content all the time and it honestly adds a lot. It's the one thing where immersion really adds value. It's like you're there yourself, especially if you have a toy that can synchronise to the content.

The prudishness is really holding back the industry.

Why would I want to be "there yourself"?

You mean sitting in the cuck chair?

I've come across some article on that in the past - they seem to put a pair of synchronized APS-C cameras or one with a stereo lens ahead of a 3Dio. The entire thing can be mounted on a balanced crane, and the male actor slides under the head like a contortionist. Very few, if any, seemed to use KU100 for that; they seem to be only used for "ASMRs"(not much to do with ASMR anymore)

No, they don't do that anymore. I mean some people do, but in general creators have moved on to better things. There are many dedicated camera's now. The problem with side by side cameras is that they are usually too big to allow for the proper eye distance (around 65mm) so the perspective is wrong and also that the frame refresh is not synchronised which causes a small time difference between frames for left/right which can make people dizzy when things are moving.

These days there are several pro-grade solutions. Canon has a really nice dual fisheye lens for their R5 camera - https://www.canon.co.uk/store/canon-rf-5-2mm-f2-8l-dual-fish... , there's also some dedicated cameras in the pro-scene like the blackmagic ursa immersive: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicursacine... if you have 30k$ to spend :)

In the low-end people tend to mod 360 degree cameras by taking them apart and putting the two cameras side by side in a 3D printed enclosure. Reddit has a community about that: https://www.reddit.com/r/VR180Film . You can get a gopro max 2 now for 400$ or so and it does 8K (you need a really high resolution because the viewer will only see part of the recording at a time!). Though modding is difficult because they tend to be action cameras and glued shut to avoid damage from shocks. But the resulting image quality is surprisingly great.

And the streamers use cameras from https://www.calfvr.com I believe. Not entirely sure though.

No. The videos are usually made from the perspective of the male actor. Similar to "POV" videos in 2D porn. So basically you'd see the female talent on top of "you".

Cuck style content is of course available too. But not very common.

The content is usually VR180 meaning it's 180 degrees field of view (you can look around a bit but not behind you) and stereoscopic so you can see depth.

There's many live streamers in this mode of vision too.
