from www.ballerstatus.com – The porn industry was away ahead of everybody when it took advantage of the Internet early on. But with the recent success of the blockbuster film Avatar, the porn biz is following suit by adopting the 3D experience that helped catapult the film’s success.
According to FoxNews, an exclusive online 3D porn library was unveiled by “Bad Girls In 3D” at the recent AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, boasting a first-of-a-kind “turnkey digital 3D viewing system.”
“For several decades, the adult entertainment industry has driven adoption of every significant new entertainment delivery system — the VHS home-video craze in the 1980s, the satellite television mania in the 1990s and the present day Internet,” said Bad Girls producer Lance Johnson.
“2010 and beyond will be all about 3D,” he added.
The Bad Girls booth at AVN displayed adult video in 3D on a giant high-definition TV. All you had to do is wear the 3D shades to experience it.
Bad Girls has a package system costing $4,000, consisting of a 60-inch 3D TV, a compact computer server, and shutter glasses that synch with the screen so you can watch it in 3D. On top of the $4,000 price tag, there is a monthly subscription $20 to access the online video library.
While it’s definitely a new way to experience porn, will consumer shell out so much cash to take advantage of it?
Also taking advantage of the 3D film mania is 76-year-old adult film director Tinto Brass — best known for his infamous 1979 film Caligula. He says he’ll be producing the world’s first 3D porno flick, despite Bad Girls already hopping on the trend.
According to Reuters, Brass said he plans to “revisit an abandoned project about a Roman emperor that was ruined by Americans, and go from there.”
He said he will start casting and working on a script immediately.
According to FoxNews’ report, a 1969 soft-core film called The Stewardess has already shown how profitable a 3D porn film could be when it raked in over $29 million in theaters over two years.
