VR180 rendering of some animations from the recent video
I just took some notable animations from my previous video and rendered them in VR180 format (180-degree field of view, stereo image, different for each eye). This ~3-minute video is simply a compilation of all of them with background music.
The instructions on how to play it are the same as for https://www.patreon.com/optozorax/posts/new-video-in-3d-171105019, but you have to select the FISHEYE projection (it's different from the regular 180 projection!) in the player settings. This video can even be played in DeoVR, because VR180 doesn't use a virtual screen; it takes up your entire field of view.
This video causes MUCH more motion sickness than a regular 3D stereo video, so please be advised. It can be especially nauseating when the camera goes through the wormhole. I deliberately left this part in stereo so that those who are interested can experience it in full.
What do you guys think about this VR180 video? Of course, VR180 is much more immersive. But as I see it, static shots are essential in such videos, because any camera movement causes motion sickness. Also, in the video my camera looks downward and the image is tilted. In VR180 this looks bad, as if the whole world is tilted, so I guess every camera position in VR180 has to be aligned with the horizon. To create a good VR180 video, I would have to plan it from the start and test it in VR180 from the beginning. World scale is also much more noticeable in VR180. I chose the world scale to look good in the stereo video, but in VR180 it looks strange when the same world suddenly becomes bigger or smaller than it was before. So I can't make all three at once (regular 2D, 3D stereo, and VR180); I would have to aim for either the last one or the first two.
There are two files. Try the bigger one first; it should play fine on a headset comparable to the Quest 3. Otherwise, or if you have a potato headset, choose the smaller one.
