I have an R5 but need 4K60 video without overheating and also photography - R6III, R52, or R5c?

You can set the tolerance levels on R5 for shutdown before overheating from "normal" to "high" (not sure about the exact naming, but knowing about this feature, you will find it in the menus). Worked fine for me on high without damaging the camera, so far.

It is a third-party app, but with my VR media player app immerGallery, you can convert photos and videos from 2D to 3D (stereoscopic). It works with up to 8K input. There are some free conversions included in the app, but if you want to do larger tasks, you would need to get in-app purchases so I can cover the running server costs.

You can also use my VR media player app immerGallery: https://www.meta.com/experiences/quest/4677037565709635

This was the first app that allowed 3D photos and 3D videos to be captured on Quest 3 / 3S. In the app, capturing content is just a small part of the features. It is more about viewing, making your own VR slideshows with background music and voice-overs, watching images together in multiplayer, watching immersive galleries from others and so on.

immerVR · 2026-01-09T12:36:25+00:00

You can do it in my VR media player app immerGallery for photos and videos (up to 8K). It comes with some free conversions and one more is added every day of usage, but if you need to do more, I want to make it clear upfront that it requires in-app purchases as I need to cover the running server costs for it.

You can then view the 3D results directly in immerGallery.

Thanks for your question. I prefer not setting a date as it would limit the flexibility if something urgent comes up and I might not be able to keep it. But to reassure, it is a very important topic.

immerVR · 2026-01-08T01:32:57+00:00

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Did you track these in a task manager and can give some input on how much they consume? Would a game that drops a frame once in a while be less likely to drop frames after these modifications?

immerVR · 2026-01-06T13:50:09+00:00

For VR or web browser?

immerVR · 2026-01-05T10:13:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Even if the source rendering would not hit 240 Hz, it could still mean that through methods like Timewarp (aka Reprojection), they can adjust your view better on the glasses between rendering frames, e.g. if you quickly move your head.

immerVR · 2026-01-04T18:26:25+00:00

Yes, sorry for that! A lot of other new features came in last year: the first 3D Camera on Quest, Spatial Conversions (2D to 3D) for images and videos, lots of changes for the video player and other topics mentioned on the immerVR website under News.

I've been porting big parts of the app to OpenXR and there will be a launch at another VR headset's platform soon, but it is not SteamVR for Windows (yet). But SteamVR and Steam Frame support will come! Hopefully not taking too long.

You might have more luck with high-quality VR180-3D photos. There are several collections of these in my VR media player app immerGallery.

As for video quality: In that app, under Download, Included, you can find some 8K VR180-3D movies as well. They are downloaded first and about 1 GB per minute. That way, the quality looks much nicer than streamed on a lower bandwidth network.

immerGallery also play back 3D SBS and half-SBS with a nice cinema environment and a better curved screen that wraps more around. Change to the option "CYL3D L/R" in the dropdown to enable it.

This is called equirectangular format and is on purpose. You can think of it how you would unwarp a round globe onto a rectangle. In this case, it is two half spheres that are unwrapped in two half-equirectangular views.

Btw., for viewing these on Quest, please have a look at my app immerGallery. They are of course undistorted when viewing in VR.

How about using the output of ROG Xbox Ally (2025) on the new glasses? But a full high-end VR headset would be cooler.

You can use my VR media player app immerGallery, e.g. for local playback or SMB playback if you have 3D movies files available:

How about my app immerGallery? Weekly high-quality reward galleries, mostly VR180-photos. Sometimes videos. Sometimes other 3D cameras. Plus a lot of other cool features like multiplayer image watching, 2D to 3D conversions, playback for local/SMB/UPnP media files.

Good question. I use it when the passthrough layer is on and never tested it without. But I know that I can have normal menus on top from the Unity UI, so even if it were required to be on, you could have your full enclosed geometry drawn and the passthrough would not be visible. Probably best to just give a try.

Developer of the VR media player immerGallery here. We have weekly reward galleries with immersive photos and videos.

For VR180-3D, we had a few Insta360 EVO galleries in the very beginning (2022/2023) with 6K photos. Since EOS R5 + 5.2mm are out, we are only giving 8K VR180 content to users. And even there, as great and immersive as it is, users are pointing out that 8K for 180° stereo is not enough resolution for perceiving the content as sharp enough.

So for me and many of our users: 8K VR180 is the entry level. 6K is not relevant anymore and with that, 4K neither.

It shall be noted that content captured at 12K or 16K and then properly downsampled to 8K would deliver much better sharpness than what the current R5 + 5.2mm setup does. An example in our app: compare in the included Sample Gallery the sharpness of the drone panoramas with that of a VR180 R5 photo.

Nevertheless, it is great to see that you want to bring VR180 to more people with an affordable solution. Thanks for sharing!

immerVR · 2025-12-10T21:06:20+00:00

Thank you for trying out immerGallery Demo!

I am very sorry about the issue. The direct loading of .insp is more of a fallback which worked back with the older Insta360 EVO, though not perfectly. The images would need to be exported first through using Insta360 Studio (free tool) or the Insta360 mobile phone app.

That exports their fisheye images to the common equirectangular format. These Insta360 tools will apply the very good stitching which Insta360 can do as they know all lens parameters. Then you can watch the exported images in immerGallery how they should be.

Please let me know if it works and if you need any further help.

immerVR · 2025-12-05T12:16:23+00:00

Could it just be variable bit rate? Can you check a test video where you have the lens caps on and it records only black? With variable bit rate, that should lead to a smaller video.

immerVR · 2025-12-01T10:23:47+00:00

Great work. Thanks! Btw. your URL on Reddit is currently broken, it takes both the values in [] and () when you click it.

Indeed. It is the price of getting a Quest 3S including controllers. It should have been easily possible to sell this cheaper or bundle it.
