What Is AR Porn? A Quick Guide to Passthrough on SLR

Augmented Reality porn (or AR Porn) brings performers into your real-life personal space. It uses your VR headset’s cameras to blend real-life surroundings with adult scenes, creating a more immersive experience. At SexLikeReal, this is powered by VR Passthrough.
What do you need for VR Passthrough?
- A modern VR headset such as the Meta Quest 3S and Quest 3 (see here for more details)
- A Premium subscription to SexLikeReal
VR Passthrough lets you see your room while also watching immersive virtual reality content. SexLikeReal’s AR Porn uses this feature to make the scene feel like it’s happening around you - placing you at the heart of the action. Simply pick a Passthrough video and you’ll see the performer appear in your space.
How to Activate Passthrough in the app
- Select any video from the AR Videos page or choose a video with the 👁 icon or
- Passthrough turns on automatically
- Tap the 👁 icon during playback to toggle it on or off
Two Types of Passthrough: Native VS AI Passthrough
There are two types of AR Passthrough on SLR, and they offer very different experiences. Native Passthrough means scenes that are specifically designed for AR Porn - these are filmed using green (or blue) screen technology.
AI Passthrough takes standard VR porn scenes and uses AI to mask out the background. The icon for these AI Passthrough scenes has the text ‘AI’ in it.
- Native Passthrough (Alpha)
- Delivers the highest image quality
- Better depth, scale, and realism
- Smoother mask alignment and overall clarity
- Best experienced with newer devices like Quest 3 and 3s
- Supports only Woman & Penis and Only Woman modes
- AI Passthrough
- Works with more content and more devices
- Supports Woman & Man mode too
- Uses AI to segment performers, which can introduce visual artifacts or softness
- May have more issues with lighting or mask placement
If you're looking for the best, most convincing AR Porn experience, choose scenes made with Native Passthrough. For now, the quality is noticeably better and gives a far more realistic sense of presence. AI Passthrough is great for broader access, but once you try native, you'll see the difference.
Device & Setup Tips
- Passthrough is best experienced in the app - it also works on your smartphone web browser, but not on your desktop web browser
- Requires a headset with cameras (Quest 3 / 3s is recommended)
- It’s best to be in a room with bright, even lighting - daylight or room lights switched on
- For best results, align your body with the male talent - get in the same position (eg, lying down, standing, sitting, etc) and match your penis and legs
- Use DeoVR’s zoom in/out function until the model seems ‘human sized’
How to enjoy AR Passthrough content on your smartphone
- Enter sexlikereal.com in your smartphone browser and log in (note: it works perfectly on both Chrome and Safari)
