Peep 360

Make Live Sex Cams Great Again!

Live cams are great ‘cause they allow you to interact with the sexy lady on your screen, as opposed to watching pre-recorded porn. Being able to interact with the cam model, which can range from simple conversation to explicit requests, is kind of like having an amateur adult model on retainer. While this industry remains superhot, there hasn’t been any groundbreaking innovations needed to keep it fresh. That is, until some genius decided to throw a virtual reality headset into the mix and create Peep 360.

It’s Like Being in Same Room as the Cam Model

Watching live sex show through a VR headset makes you feel like you’ve been transported into the model’s room. Plus the performers appear in 3D, which is pretty awesome if they’re curvy, y’know what I’m sayin’? And thanks to the head-tracking technology inside VR headsets, your POV is no longer limited to a stationary camera lens and you’ll be able to see everything in the room as if you were right there. It’s like reality… only virtual.

On-Screen Interface Remains an Elusive Feature

As much as I enjoyed watching a live cam in VR, I quickly realized that Peep360 was not without its drawbacks. The main culprit? A lack of an accessible user interface while you have your headset on, as you can’t see your keyboard or your mouse! I’m sure you’re thinking, “But Paul, I’m behind my computer 20, 22 hours a day. I can operate a keyboard and mouse blindfolded with one hand on my --- ”. Sure, we all can. But I’m willing to bet that while the average pornomaniac is adept at typing out words on a keyboard, they’re not at inputting unique commands through the modifier keys (shift, ctrl, alt). It’s awkward, believe me I tried. There’s definitely a learning curve at the very least. To make up for this you’re encouraged to voice chat, which almost completely eliminates your reliance on the keyboard. But there were still a few instances where I found I had to take off my headset.

360°? It’s Not All It’s Cracked Up to Be

Another flaw was the 360° POV. I know it’s one of their selling points, it’s in their name after all. But I find this to be (and I mean this seriously, not as an insult), stupid. You know what I saw when I turned my head around? A wall. A bare wall. Not even a framed painting or anything. Truth of the matter is that for most, if not nearly all, adult VR content available today, you really don’t need more than 180°, since the models don’t dance around you in circles. I can imagine the 360° feature being useful in a virtual orgy scene, but that’s not what’s going on here.

Gotta Get Up Bright and Early if You’re Living in the East

Other probs the site’s got is that there are too few models and their shows come online at the most inopportune times. Like anyone else who matters, I live in the Eastern Time Zone (sorry L.A. peeps. Call me!), and the times were either in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. So that’s something to take into consideration depending on your location and sleeping habits. As for the models themselves, they’re really, really hot and really enthusiastic. Both of which are very important elements of a quality live cam show that you’re going to enjoy.

If You’re Big Into VR, Then You’re Going to Love This Cam Site!

In conclusion, Peep 360 is probably one of the very first live cam sites that offer a relatively successful model for integrating VR tech. What’s important for me is that they were the first site to successfully provide a live cam show in virtual reality, when many other sites who promised the same thing simply flopped. The user interface issue needs to resolved, but few VR companies, adult or otherwise, have gotten that down completely. The biggest drawback to this site, as is true with any live cam site, is the very small number of models, which results in too few shows.
