SexLikeReal adds ‘world first’ AR cam passthrough, so performers appear in your room virtually
VR porn site SexLikeReal [very NSFW] has launched what it’s calling the “world’s first” live cam passthrough performer features, utilizing greenscreen technology, that allows you to interact with live cam performers in your own home virtually.
Passthrough is an augmented reality effect that makes objects in the ‘virtual’ world appear as if they are in your ‘real world’ vision. It uses cameras found in higher-end VR and mixed reality headsets to capture your real surroundings, then mixes this with virtual elements. For example, passthrough could allow you to see a VR performer sitting on your ‘actual’ sofa, when you look at your living room through your VR headset. SexLikeReal already offers many recorded passthrough VR porn videos in its library.
Live cam passthrough is a significant development in the field, which debuted on SexLikeReal in late May 2024. A Premium subscription isn’t needed to watch the VR cams (including passthrough cams) but if you want to see something specific, then you’ll need to tip with tokens, which are purchasable with real money.

For the live passthrough effect to be achieved, SexLikeReal created a greenscreen room designed specifically for the task. When the performer is in the room and is livestreaming, you can click on the ‘enable passthrough’ option when viewing the cam performer’s page within SexLikeReal, when using the DeoVR VR player app.
After this option is enabled, the cam performer should appear through your headset like they are in the room (or field, or wherever) with you. If needed, you can tweak color and display settings such as hue, saturation and brightness, to improve the passthrough immersion.
While there’s no question that a lot of people will be interested in a live cam performer virtually in the room with them, the current setup of using a specially designed ‘greenscreen’ room for the shows clearly limits the number of performers that will be able to offer the feature.

Doubling down on Passthrough
SexLikeReal has enjoyed success as one of the more popular VR porn sites, partly thanks to regularly rolling out improvements and new features such as this new VR porn camming passthrough function. Recently the site launched a function that uses AI to turn ‘regular’ VR porn videos into passthrough videos, without the need for greenscreen technology.
The Slovenia-based company has also filmed videos featuring male actors wearing chroma suits, with only their penises protruding from their outfits. The results for these first-person camera angle videos are the main body section of the man not appearing in the images shown in the VR headset they are viewed in.
SexLikeReal is also working on its own penis stroker sextech device, which the company has said may be released in mid-2025. The device was initially supposed to be released in 2023, but the company said that the pre-production prototype was “going to trash along with the team behind it”, hence the delay.
