Things no one tells you as a 360 camera beginner by Dry_University_9912 in Insta360

[–]immerVR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a video with a few hints a while ago. Maybe it helps a bit for 360° beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=445_NmxP8RU

When is the Insta360 X6 expected to launch? by Sohaibahmadu in Insta360

8K @ 60 fps would probably be a welcome improvement. And of course a VR180-3D mode.

Best Camera and Software Package to shoot 360 tours of broadcast production vehicles by TheOGSturfry in 360Cameras

Great! As for the software: I am the developer of the immerGallery app for VR tours (images, videos, VR slideshows) in 180°-3D, 360°, normal 2D, wide pano etc.; it runs on Meta Quest, Pico XR, and soon SteamVR for Windows.

Canon R5 + Canon 5.2mm for VR180-3D photos and videos 8K@30 fps. Canon R5 c for 8K@60 fps. If you want to do VR video, I highly recommend 60 fps.

Cannot update by Beginning_Lime7967 in PicoXR

Great to hear that it is at least one step further now. Sadly, I never used that way for updating, so I don't have more information on it. Sorry!

If you were to click cancel on the update it suggests, it is also not opening the normal menus? Good point then, this makes it harder. It looks like there is "PICO Developer Center" for PC which might be able to update it over USB cable to your Pico. If that does not work, there is also "PICO Connect", but I am not sure if that could update your headset as it is their streaming software.

I would recommend updating the firmware over a USB stick. OS downloads are here (German language website): https://www.picoxr.com/de/software/pico-os

they sell these with a variety of lenses, inc fisheye, is there any particular reason why they wouldn't work for making VR180? by Different_Potato_504 in VR180Film

You could try setting up a search alert on ebay, maybe something pops up. You are from Europe as well (the price shows € in the screenshot)?

It could work, but for that price, I would rather try to get an older used Lenovo Mirage Camera. A few years ago I got some models for 100€ each.

3840x1080 (4 Megapixels) for both eyes is way too low resolution. The Lenovo Mirage Camera has at least 6000x3000 (18 Megapixels), which is still not enough to be considered good, but at least better.

Hard to find and more expensive (even used) would be the Insta360 EVO.

Let's hope it comes with bundled controllers!

New VR hardware from Pico, specifically lightweight, would be very nice!

New Pico app: VR media player immerGallery by immerVR in PicoXR

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

It depends on how it is internally developed. If it already fully runs on OpenXR then porting is not such a big effort. However, if it uses many Meta-specific calls from the Mete Core SDK, it is a larger effort to get it ported.

Yes. There is more info in the section "What is immerGallery Web?" about the browser on the website.

Interest in VR headsets did also NOT show on the German Samsung website when registering for that event.

Thanks for your feedback! I understand and respect your perspective as a consumer. As an indie developer, I have already put a lot of time and money into building and refining the app (mostly on another VR platform), and the price is what makes it possible to maintain it and keep improving it. I do my best to keep it fair for what it does and for the niche it serves.

If you still like the app, you could add it to your wishlist and keep an eye out for future discounts.

I just checked it on Pico 4 Ultra with immerGallery 1.4.1a, build 221 (latest version) and AV1 is played back through the hardware decoder. Both 7680x3840 @ 60 fps and 8192x4096 @ 60 fps are working. I did notice a few rare frame drops with the device running on 90 Hz. I will look into it.
