Augmented reality: Is there a porn app for that?

Whenever a new technology emerges, someone is bound to think of something sexual to do with it.
From video cassette recorders to the internet and beyond, the adult entertainment industry has quickly found porn applications for new technologies.
Most recently porn websites have been letting users pay with cryptocurrencies for increased privacy. There’s even a cryptocurrency called WankCoin.
Porn is turning out to be a killer app for the fledgling virtual reality headset business, according to media reports. (See “The First Real Boom in Virtual Reality? It’s Pornography” by the Wall Street Journal and “Oculus Go Porn: Adult Industry Has High Hopes for Facebook’s New VR Headset” by Variety.)
How about augmented reality?
Augmented reality pioneers ARPorn.com recently teamed up with virtual reality porn studio BaDoinkVR to create an AR demo clip featuring porn star Susy Gala that showcases some of the capabilities of the technology to date. Augmented reality superimposes digital imagery into what a person sees in the real world.
The demo features a real 3D person, not a computer-generated likeness, something that has not been done before.

Ofcourse there is! Lol... Porn has been a driving force for VR so It's only natural to see the same for AR porn. I think porn in augmented reality will be pretty cool.
