Virtual Reality Bangers, Inc., (also known as VR Bangers) is a Los Angeles-based company that produces and distributes virtual reality adult entertainment.

History

VR Bangers was founded in 2015 with the aim of creating developments in VR technology[1]. The company creates and distributes virtual reality adult contents via a network of Internet websites. The company's flagship website VRBangers.com was launched in January 21, 2016[2].

In 2016, VR Bangers teamed up with British VR firm AuraVisor to offer pay-per-view porn on a VR headset at several hotels in Las Vegas[3][4][5].

Later that year, the company released the first-ever VR Parody film titled “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Cock - An XXX Parody”[6].

In early 2017, the company launched a program aimed to bring VR headsets to fertility clinics with an initial launch at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine in Los Angeles[7][8].

In May 2017, the company launched a controversial advertising campaign that encouraged men to "cheat on their wives" by wearing a VR headset during sexual intercourse[9][10].

Later that year, the company launched its VR tube site LaidHub.com[11].

Leadership

As of 2018, the company is led by CEO Daniel Abramovich[10][1]. Boris Smirnoff is the current CTO[12].

Technological Advancements

In May 2016, the company announced a collaboration with Amsterdam-based Kiiro, a manufacturer of teledildonics and haptic technology with the aim of syncing VR experiences and smart sex toys. The toys have sensors that feed "pressure data" from a female performer's toy to a remote viewer's responsive male masturbator, or 'sleeve,' in real time.[13].

In 2017, the company developed and released its proprietary VR access app, branded as PLAY’A[14].

POV Head Rig

The company is credited with developing the POV Head rig[15], a standalone virtual reality camera in the shape of a human head equipped with stereoscopic cameras in the eyes, binaural sound microphones, and multiple cameras across its surface to achieve 4K resolution that allow actors to provide a more realistic experience for customers[16].
