My understanding of the current porn industry is that mindgeek have cornered the market in video via pornhub and all their other online destinations, and that all that 'free' content that is a click away is ripped off from publishing houses. I have no idea how the porn business still makes money since everything seems to be free these days, but this interactive aspect seems a good way for some kind of commercial, fee paying service that interacts with hardware devices? There are people on this thread who are in the industry, is my perception accurate or did I misunderstand the market?

In terms of hosted video, yeah, you're pretty spot on. The new hotness, as it were, is cam models with some sort of toy control. There's two common ways this can happen: - Model uses interactive toy that is controlled by tip amounts/frequency - Model uses interactive toy that can control other interactive toys that viewers are using This is not particularly new technology. RealTouch was doing this 6 years ago until they were shut down by a patent suit, see https://www.metafetish.com/2014/04/17/realtouch-the-shutdown-and-the-parts-you-can-still-get/ https://www.metafetish.com/2014/04/17/realtouch-the-shutdown..., and there were even cam sync'd toys in the late 90s, as long as you were cool with your 2-3 FPS over a modem. However, with the availability of streaming services and bandwidth now, it's feasible for more players to get involved.

  Thanks - I like the idea of the talent getting paid, this seems a good way for this to happen.. the sensory eye candy person controlling some sort of remote stimulation. I can see this being huge in the VR industry and a good one to few model that might supersede the 'all you can consume' ripped off content sites that currently have massive page views...
