The future of live cams explained

December 23, 2016

The future of 18+ live cams depends on the available technology for both the broadcaster (webcam performer) and the consumer.

Technology creates independency

The current trend is that more and more webcam performers start to work independent from home.

You can see this clearly in the North America region where girls all work from home while webcam performers in Eastern Europe and South America mostly work in a webcam studio.

Most likely this is caused because webcam performers in Eastern Europe and South America don’t have the required skills, resources and facilities to work independent from home.

This will definitely change in the near future because of the available modern technology and simplicity to make money with live broadcastings

Nowadays it’s possible for webcam performers to live broadcast real-time from their mobile device (phone or tablet).

For example www.camctrl.com is already offering this feature!

It means that without a suitable location, required broadcasting equipment and available facilities you can easily make money with live broadcastings from your mobile device.

Interactive toys

Another current trending feature are interactive remote controlled toys (vibrators). Now-a-days these toys are very popular among webcam performers and webcam site members.

These interactive remote controlled toys react on sound (received tips) and can memorized (audio fragments like tip sounds) to intensify the vibrations.

The usage of interactive remote controlled toys are mostly announced as a Tip in the room topic from a webcam performer.

VR (Virtual Reality)

Everybody hopes that Virtual Reality will be the new big thing in the 18+ entertainment industry including adult webcams.

The future of VR really depends on the mass adoption and available VR headsets and related entertainment services (for example: games)

At this moment there are only two 18+ webcam companies offering VR live streaming.

What is VR?
Virtual reality is interactive ultra wide range stereoscopic metaverse.

A VR webcam provides a live video stream in stereoscopic 160° field of view at 30 frames per second in full high-def.

With a VR camera you will feel like the person you are talking to is right there with you.

Where a typical webcam allows for a video conversation, a VR webcam creates a totally immersive experience.

As a webcam performer you will need some minimum requirements like:
