I don’t own a Quest 3, but DeoVR wrote a bit about decoding VR on this headset. Maybe that helps.
Highest resolution is support (8k+) with most studios being around 7680x3840. Also no 5k PC needed at all. If you also want to play PC VR games it’s less than 1000$ for something that will go a long way. Not sure where your 5k mention comes from, lol.
Once I got used to 8k, my old 4k JOI videos from Wankz became hard to watch. Any recommendations for high quality JOI content?
Well, it was an arbitrary number I wrote down to convey my apprehension of additional expense, and also probably because the specific cost of the computer was irrelevant to the question. I didnt do any research on gaming hardware cost prior to asking “what is the max resolution porn videos i can play smoothly with a Q3 by itself?” Despite the pedantry, thank you for your answer.
The 7-8k videos seem to actually still make a difference in comparison to 6k, so you should be able to enjoy the quality of 7k and 8k videos. Also, VRBangers released a video with 12k and even though your headset is not 12k, the detail still comes through and makes a difference.
Sadly Wankz never made the step to better quality. Wankz comes at the worst quality when it comes to how good old videos age.
Most of the VR videos I enjoy are not JOI, but more on the interactive side, but SLR has some JOI videos, but the quality is mixed, with some of them probably worse than your old JOI videos.

Just got into this world and immediately noticed heresphere is missing content from vrcosplayx. It’s only like 7 or 8 pages and it says it only scanned 200 something videos. 8 pages is only 96 videos and vrcosplayx claims over 300 videos on site. And I can see videos on the flat site I can’t find in heresphere.
And googling returns no results. Is this really a major bug that no one talks about? Or is it because I’m still on the trial version of heresphere?
There seems to be something going on with them. WankzVR/POVR work great but BadoinkVR and their other sites all have that problem and it seems they have given up trying to address it and are now trying to move people to PrismVR which doesn’t support funscripts yet.
Thanks for this post! It’s a nice overview of the available porn sites. I think you missed some of the best tools for watching VR porn though.
Although streaming is a convenient way to consume VR porn I’ve been frustrated by poor compatibility with the Handy and content disappearing from sites. For example, SexLikeReal has this happen at least a few times a year when their contracts with particular content providers expire - taking all the videos and funscripts offline. My solution has been to download scenes and funscripts I like. Organizing these by renaming files gets old fast though, which brings me to…
xbapps/xbvr: Tool to organize and stream your VR porn library (github.com)
xbvr is a vr porn library management app. It runs in the background on your PC or NAS. xbvr will scrape the public information available from a variety of porn sites - including all the ones discussed in this thread. These are “scenes” tracked in xbvr. You can then import videos plus - optionally - funscripts. These get associated with the scene - regardless of location and file name. xbvr has the option to watch trailers and mark scenes you want to download later. It has rich filtering options to help you find the porn you want too.
You can easily browse and playback the xbvr scenes with HereSphere in a nice gallery view - including Handy and Bluetooth toys being supported in-app. Buttplug.io compatible toy support is also available by running additional PC apps. You can even add “flat” AKA 2D AKA normal porn scenes with funscripts from EroScripts to xbvr as scenes manually.
HereSphere is the best VR video solution. Admittedly the UI is a little intimidating at first, but spend a few minutes with it and you’ll love the flexibility. It supports all VR formats, passthrough video, and has adjustments to fix problems the porn studios are too lazy to address. It even has streaming support for some VR porn sites if you like.
The user experience with this setup is fantastic. I get in position with the Handy and VR gear, run HereSphere on the headset, and I’m watching interactive VR porn in under 2 minutes. For me this has replaced all other porn.

Well XBVR looks awesome.
Quick question, since i can’t seem to find a guide for it. Whats the suggested file structure for downloaded videos and fun scripts for this? Just throw it all in a flat folder, or some sort of per video folder or all videos in a folder and all funscripts in a folder? I likely want to be ready to try the “official” fun scripts from the publisher and community ones found here, so whats the right way to save multiple scripts per video and switch between them?
The file linking is done within XBVR, no need for complex naming, just stick with the studio naming for video/funscript and they should be recognized for most. If you do want to use multiple videos/funscripts/subtitles you’ll want to flip the support on in Heresphere under user settings and set each scene to ‘multi’ in XBVR (typically need for JAV-VR)
I have a few different folders because xbvr has to scan the entire directory for changes when you add new files. By breaking up my collection into various folders it speeds things along. And I can still do a periodic “scan all folders”.
I also split the funscripts up: paid, AI generated, free

So i’ll share my experience today. This thread was awesome to find. Thanks those that contributed to it.
I’ve had a Quest 2 for years, didn’t do much VR porn because it wasn’t that amazing to me. Recently bought a handy, and tried it on some regular flat videos and their chrome plugin. Didn’t seem worth the trouble. Figured i’d try combining VR and the handy and looked into how. Most googles say just install DeoVR and subscribe to SLR. So i did that, found it super easy to setup, and my mind was blown.
The SLR scripts are amazing, one where the girl gets her butt slapped and you can see the shock wave travel across the checks and feel it through the handy… OMG. But the lack of content depth and kinks on SLR got noticeable quick, especially since i prefer cosplay. So i looked into how to view VRcosplayX the same way as SLR… O it’s a different app, and you have to do these tricks to sideload it.
Alright.
HereSphere. The GUI was not intuitive, all googling for where to find Handy controls tells you you have to install the beta version and it’s in the user settings (spoiler, neither are true anymore) so lost 1-2 hours messing with Steam and betas and steam link for nothing. I wish those reddit and forum posts about beta get deleted, please. Get it sorted, pull up VRCosplayX, and… well these scripts suck. Just feel lazy, i guess they must be AI or basic auto detection. Sit there during a grinding or gripping moment and it’s just holding still. SLR was doing all sorts of magic trips to keep the illusion real. Figure there’s got to be some community or something the takes pride in better scripts. Also it’ just randomly doesn’t show all the videos. Thats Cool…
Find here, find this thread (forgot what i was searching for, probably the VRcosplayx not showing all videos issue) and then see @Islanti note about XBVR. Ok, i’m a plex user, this just sounds like plex for VR porn and “the easy way” to do all the streaming and handy integration to my quest.
An hour fighting docker, NFS, SMB, and Truenas on my file server, and I’m running. This is a dream! Time to start downloading… And now according to my router i’ve downloaded 2.5TB of data in a 24 hour period. Mostly just the last 12 hours though.
So yeah, that was my day starting with HereSphere VRcosplayX issue and starting with XBVR (mostly stuck in the house because i was sick anyway). This community feels awesome and friendly, already have a few dozen tabs opened of scripts i want to download/buy in the coming days. Tried one tonight, and it was definitely SLR quality, if not moreso.
Geez now i don’t know what to purchase first, more HDDs or the Quest 3.
Like the structure, what do the revisions (v1,2,3) mean?
It’s actually my shorthand for volume. My Synology NAS has a primary 6x16TB volume in the unit (volume1), plus two addition 5x16TB additional enclosures (volume2, volume3). They are presented as separate file systems so I have to mount each one.
volume4 is overflow space on another NAS, but I haven’t started using it yet.
I may end up using volume4 for my very full Plex server though…

So actual newbie question, in the XBVR flat interface you can hit the big “scripted” button to only see scenes with scripts, but in VR, in HereSphere in API mode, is their equivalent quick sort? Short of going through and tagging all the scenes with a custom “scripted” tag?
You want to hit the save icon, name the list, and check “Use as DeoVR list”. Then it will show up across the top of the UI in HereSphere next to “Watchlist” and a few others.
Note that whatever sort order you choose when you save it will carry over as the default view in HereSphere. You can override it with HereSphere’s controls. I like “Last Viewed Date” so the scenes I haven’t watched recently show up first.
Q3 with the handy is probably still the best combo at the moment, about websites, I find czechvr to offer the highest quality videos, they know how to film them and the lightning is always great.
SLR has no competition when it comes to scripts, it might change once other aggregators like vrporn figure out how to make AI scripts. I am not a fan of their original content, I prefer czechvr, virtualtaboo and darkroomvr.
I have a local NAS with xbvr installed to manage my 80 TB VR collection. When possible I would always go for 8k and highest bitrate video available, Q3 has no problem playing 100mbs bitrate videos.
