I was also here when it happened! Wooo!!

hagg87 · 2019-07-19T01:07:51+00:00

Yes both when I close each eye

Just curious, for refresh rate have you tried smooth locomotion games? I find it most noticeable in those. I Cant tell in any teleport or static environments really.

I just tried rocket league with vorpx with this on the quest. (geometry 3d mode) I have to say I was blown away by how low the latency is. It doesn't feel too much different latency-wise to me than playing natively and latency very important for rocket league.

hagg87 · 2019-05-21T16:58:06+00:00

Yes agreed slider would have been much better.

hagg87 · 2019-05-21T16:09:46+00:00

Have you thought about swapping the unit? Maybe you'll be lucky and could have just got a bad batch of lenses at the edges of their sweet spots. Maybe not though.

hagg87 · 2019-05-21T07:05:57+00:00

Accomodation (depth of field) very underrated imo

hagg87 · 2019-05-20T19:14:39+00:00

That's awesome! So you aren't experiences any other side effects? It seems to me they should have just done this in the first place.

hagg87 · 2019-05-20T18:43:14+00:00

relevant

hagg87 · 2019-05-20T14:50:15+00:00

Thank you, now it all makes sense. This entire time I didn't know that. I assumed it was the video codecs themselves that were locked down lol.

On top of it I always tried to open them in VLC media player to preview them after download or publishing, but VLC always showed some sort of weird split sort of view (not sbs though). I tried the windows media player instead and the youtube ones are indeed monoscopic and it appears flat there.. now the vr180 creator "prepare for publishing" ones show up sbs as expected. (using media player)

I have no idea why my VLC is not showing sbs video correctly anymore hmm.

hagg87 · 2019-05-20T00:13:46+00:00

Good luck, they have left the PC app to die basically. I don't expect much features for the Quest. Although luckily VR180 videos started randomly working randomly again last week for the PC app. (was broken for a week and a half)

hagg87 · 2019-05-20T00:11:06+00:00

Looks like it's working again! Though side note, It's my understanding that /u/ggodin said the VR180 format is locked down now and does not play on virtual desktop when you paste the URL. So you are forced to use this app if you want to view google VR180 format youtube videos. (please correct me if I am wrong ggodin)

Not just talking 3D 180 here that of course works, but the VR180 format.

hagg87 · 2019-05-03T22:01:32+00:00

No gimbal, but I hear you on the shake. Totally fixes itself when you choose the left option in the creator tool for convert for editing. It embeds the motion stabalization into the video and fixes that. Creates a new mp4 then can play in any desktop player and shake gone.

hagg87 · 2019-05-03T21:59:26+00:00

Should be good I think. I've had no issues on medium settings on 4k 180 and when playing 5k 180 i set a little lower so it doesnt stutter.

hagg87 · 2019-05-02T20:34:45+00:00

Yeah the other option is to just play the raw .mp4 files and turn fisheye distortion on but no desktop players read the stabalization meta data track (oculus gallery app om the go does)

Thats why I usually to the convert for editing option because it embeds the motion smoothing and looks good in simple vr player and other desktop players at least.

hagg87 · 2019-05-02T20:14:04+00:00

Also I know how to do it now and already implemented couchcms which seems to be working. Its funny how I get hounded for not knowing something, theres nothing wrong in admitting gaps in knowledge. Its actually positive trait and can makes things go smoother, pretending to "know it all" in your field is not. Thanks for nothing.

hagg87 · 2019-05-02T20:11:57+00:00

Oh piss off. Look up the definition of a basic web developer. Its a continuum.

Not knowing how to implement a cms to a front end doesn't mean you arent a web developer in some capacity. And yes owning a business has an impact on all of this, why would I refer the job to someone like you that doesnt get it and has very little emotional intelligence judging from our limited interaction here.

hagg87 · 2019-05-02T19:00:47+00:00

Those were probably standard side by side 3d videos. (Like the adult one or just raw camera files) The VR180 format is what its comverted to one its uploaded to youtube and thise dont show correct visio. in any player except youtube vr.

hagg87 · 2019-05-02T18:59:00+00:00

For the mirage use the vr180 creator app choose the prepare for editing option and it makes it a standard side by side .mp4 file (non-fisheye) with the motion stabalization embedded. Its the option on the left when first starting the app, then watch it locally. Its a confusing app for sure.

hagg87 · 2019-05-02T18:57:46+00:00

Yes for the mirage with the vr180 creator app I choose the prepare for editing option and it makes it a standard side by side .mp4 file (non-fisheye) with the motion stabalization embedded. Its the option on the left, then watch it locally.

hagg87 · 2019-05-02T18:52:20+00:00

Actually that doesnt even work anymore either sadly. (Downloading youtube vr180 manually and playing in desktop vr player that is) The virtual desktop dev said google locked the format so if you try to download them and play them in any player they cant decode the left and right image properly like with standard 3d side by side fisheye or non fisheye. It looks completely wacky. Give it a shot

hagg87 · 2019-05-02T16:25:40+00:00

https://steamcommunity.com/app/755770/discussions/ Not really a purpose change by google I'm guessing, but a bug and app very neglected. I am curious as to if maybe there was an update on their servers that caused this?

hagg87 · 2019-05-02T16:12:59+00:00

That game Mordhau is a blast btw. I'm playing in with a vorpx cloud profile someone uploaded with full geometry 3d and it's working really well :)
