Tutorial: stereoscopic 360° Panorama for Oculus rift

Post by jo-ke » Fri Jul 14, 2017 3:49 pm

This is a complex theme.

at first you have to render 2 equirectangular Panos about 8cm difference for right eye and left eye.

now make a new image 2048x2948 left side uo and right side down

put image in an video editor like VSDC and make a .mov with aspect ratio 2048x2048, then convert the video to mp4

this video is able to be displayed in Oculus Rift with Deo VR Player

I've found out that the 360° panoviewer of Oculus rift is able to display 360° stereopanos. So you can put the pano directly to your pictures folder of Oculus.

at twilght team:

would it be possible to get a rendersetting for VR-Panos?

I have an idea how it could work. I could help you with the settings.
