Japan is prepping an 'adult' VR festival

Get ready to not be shocked people, Japan is set to host its own virtual reality 'adult themed' festival, showcasing all sorts of virtual reality headsets, equipment and software to go with it, all centred around the idea of adult entertainment.

There's going to be sex dolls, machines that can manually stimulate the user and leap motion interaction to allow hand tracking within these sorts of virtual experiences.

While there will no doubt be a few products on sale, the main purpose of the festival is to bring together developers from around the world, who are all working on various experiences and hardware options to augmented adult entertainment like never before.

The above video showcases much of what's being worked on and since it's Japanese, expect it to be 90 percent cartoons. Sorry guys.

What will be interesting though, is whether this fledgling industry can help guide the direction of VR, much like porn has helped changed the way people consumed physical media like video and DVDs in the past.
