Build Your Own Journey (BYOJ) interactive videos now on SLR!

Alex Novak

We’re delighted to announce that Build Your Own Journey (BYOJ) interactive videos are now available for all exchangecity.ru Premium users. The BYOJ feature means you can use any videos from SLR to build a story - decide what happens and when by combining short scenes to create your own unique narrative. 

Here are some of the ways you can use this revolutionary new feature: 

Compilations: 

• Find the moments you like from your favorite videos on SLR
• Combine them into one BYOJ
• Watch without interruptions - there’s no need to switch between videos

Stories:

• Try creating a story
• Combine multiple videos into one interactive plot. Decide what happens and when, then see how it looks and fits together

Remixes:

• Pick a video
• Find your favorite moments and sweet spots
• Rearrange them all into the way you prefer and enjoy!

Coming soon: we are also working on utilizing AI to add voice synthesis so the performer will say exactly what you want them to say, in their own voice. Imagine how incredible and immersive it will feel to hear your favorite pornstar address you by your own name.

And here’s how to use the BYOJ tool: 

1. On exchangecity.ru you will find a new menu entry on the left called BYOJ Videos 
2. Here, you’ll find your collection of BYOJ videos
3. Before creating your first BYOJ video, take a look at the demo scenario which begins with Melody Marks. This is a useful demo we have prepared to show you how it works
4. Create your interactive story using questions, videos and start & end times. You can do this using the easy-to-use Visual Editor tool, or the Raw Json Editor if you prefer a more advanced technique (see below for an image showing how your story can be laid out) 
5. Once you have saved your BYOJ, it will be immediately available in the app in the special playlist called BYOJ Videos under the Playlists menu

Need more info? don't worry, the SLR Labs team has two created tutorials showing exactly how it works. Watch these useful videos in VR then go and make your first BYOJ VR adventure!
