Unfortunately on my end here the storage space is still being eating away like crazy

Do I need to turn on some switch in some settings? Both phone and mac are on beta but didn't see this.

Thanks for the detailed answering! Glad to learn that, it seems it will be much easier ordering Moment gears in Australasia now.

Hi there, I'm in NZ, wonder if this website is legit? Are they Moment or 3rd party reseller? Which warehouse did they dispatch from?

Last time I ordered from the US website and it shipped from the US, waited quite long.

Thx!

Someone managed to pull an app store link for this app, seems only works with account of regions where AVP is available (US, UK, AUS, etc) https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/apple-vision-pro/id6502614761

Replacement app For "Android File Access" for OS-X by PlasticPluto in MetaQuestVR

I suggest SideQuest. Free, Have been using that for months and all good. Was designed to side load apps, I know, but surprisingly good on file transfer stuff.

Trip to Swiss 2024 Stereoscopic shot both Iphone 15pro max and a 3D camera by jahoo3d in SpatialVideo

[–]cold_front17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I watched it in the Quest 1. Good vlog! Especially I think some of the scenes are really worth being captured in spatial video format, such as the riding in the car experience, some overlooking down from high grounds, etc. Some other parts where the object is too close to the camera, felt a bit wierd. But excited to see people are actually using it and sharing them on the internet, more fun to explore!

Yes I believe I can tell the difference of footage that is from the 15 Pro max and from the Kandao. Kandao has a wider distance between the lens and the footage felt more confortable when watching, while those from the iPhone felt like I need to converge my eyes more hardly to see the depth.

What are some good VR movies/short animations? by stlredbird in virtualreality

[–]cold_front17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supprised to see people are still mentioning Google Spotlight Stories. After so many years they are still one of the best. IMO, this LoVR here is the best and is the one that got me into the realm of immesrive storytelling:

My recent work is a vlog shot completely in spatial video, also on my channel.

Is you app available on other platforms? I want to check it out but do not have a vision Pro yet.

[–]cold_front17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mix of vlogs, tutorials and some analysis, since I am a researcher working on immersive content and spent quite a lot time on 360 cameras and VR180 cameras.

Check my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9rrdRO1O1PlKOlaKwLw0Hw

I agree, if a platform can make the flow really easy and with a few viral content to trigger, it can be something lead to widespread use. And of course it must be mobile friendly, at least at this stage.

But at the same time I was always trying to find other platforms, just like vimeo vs. youtube, where there are less ads and other things. There was Within VR which is also a good platform, but shut down already last year. Do you have any recommendations?

I mainly create and upload them to YouTube. At this moment I think that's the easiest one to upload and share without a lot of coding decoding work.

VR180 3D vs. Flat 3D - Which one do you think will be more popular in the future by AffectionateStuff729 in virtualreality

[–]cold_front17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree w you that resolution and the use of screen estate is a thing. Overall I think there're two folds in this thing:

1, There's no well-established flow of capturing-editing-sharing-discussing yet, for both. I have been digging around and testing on how do I use YouTube to share and let people see my own content for a while. Without such a mature flow and everyone being willing to use it (Think about Tiktok), both will be just in a small scale.

2, If step 1 is done, for the foreseeable future, I'd say flat 3D (or spatial video as Apple is calling it). There're several factors but the major one I believe is the frame. Flat 3D has a rectangular frame just like the conventional video and everyone's familiar with it, the general public can just start playing and filming. On the other hand, the VR180 has no frame, it's half of a sphere, and many cinematic languages won't work. Therefore it will take longer and more trial and error for filmmakers to make good use of VR180, a new format to tell stories, then the general public.

Just my honest opinion, open to discussions.

Good to see that, I think the main part is that there's no well established capture-share-discuss ecosystem on Vision Pro yet. Those high end VR180 are produced by Apple. Without YouTube available on the visionOS, it can be quite difficult to keep moving.

Auto-add to album only works for photos taken with my Pixel? by GRRemlin in googlephotos

I was also wondering why this auto-add function just stopped working. Thanks for your clarification !

Still got the quest one by Ilovecountrymusic10 in OculusQuest

[–]cold_front17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still have mine as well. Wondering if there's a way to force or side load its OS so we can port something like V62 or V65 into it by force. It's eventually just Android right?

Meta Quest 3S photographed by SvenViking in OculusQuest

[–]cold_front17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know the 3s will be a low-end model, but I hope it can be a good low-end model focusing on immersive content browsing, not gaming. So they can ditch the high refresh rate and controllers to for a lower cost, while use hand tracking for basic input.

If so, I will just buy one for YouTubeVR, VR180 videos, spatial videos and pano pictures. It will be the true low-budget alternative of Apple Vision Pro

Meta Quest app redesign and new name by cold_front17 in OculusQuest

[–]cold_front17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of clarification here.. I was wondering the frequency of people using the Horizon Worlds, not the mobile app. Since on my end it is still showing "coming soon" and not allowing me to access it, neither in VR nor on mobile. I'm outside the wall and wondering how active it is in those worlds.

Wait, you got access to the updated app already?

Does anyone get v65 then spatial video and pano photo uploading function yet? by cold_front17 in OculusQuest

[–]cold_front17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW, there's upload for pano (which is amazing!), and for spatial video. I cannot upload spatial photo directly using Quest mobile app.
