[Max] Tutorials & Guides / Re: Tutorial: Stereoscopic panorama with Corona + Cardboard
« on: 2016-02-01, 04:34:44 »
Hi guys,
Finally, I got my google cardboard and did some tests on it. I decided to buy View-Master because it has nice rubber cover - so you can normally see virtual pictures.
http://www.view-master.com/
First of all I tested one of their app (something about space) which is totally sucks.
Then I've checked few their pictures and they were also terrible. I tested it with my iPhone 6 and also with my friend's iPhone 6 plus and the result was the same.
The quality of picture is just terrible. Specially, when you want to turn your head around and see more... 3D effect is absolutely blurry and I have no idea if it can be fixed somehow.
Then I tested www.insitevr.com and was a little happy because I was surprised that my panoramic jpg file was easy converted to a VR picture.
Here is that image: https://www.insitevr.com/p/4yLedMztl
However, a little later I understood that it is actually not that good like it was when I tested Samsund Gear VR glasses one month ago.
Because as I understood it is made by using different technologies(?). May somebody explain it to me?
Please download two jpg files from my dropbox (because I can not attach it here):

VR-image (pano.jpg) that was rendered on V-Ray 3.2 specially for Samsung Gear VR glasses. Please take a look on this image.
And then - look on the panorama image (No_Gravity.jpg) that was rendered in Corona - specially for creating panoramic image (NOT VR).
As you can see - these images are different.
pano.jpg has 18432 x 1536 pixels and contains from 12 squares (I gues 6 for left and 6 for right eye).
No_Gravity.jpg image was rendered in Corona and was made specially for panorama effect (which is perfectly work by the way).
However, when I tried to use this No_Gravity.jpg on www.insitevr.com - the image was just divided on two same parts.
But it is not a real VR effect. It is like a fake VR effect. You can not fill real space and deepness like I remember in Gear VR.
Yes, you can see the image but it doesn't looks that good. And it is terrible uncomfortable to look down or up. Only okay when you look slowly left or right.
So my conclusion for now is that Google Cardboard can not give the true VR effect like it is when you look on Samsung Gear VR glasses.
And question for Corona team - can you guys improve some option in Corona, so it can render such images like I provided in the attached file (pano.jpg)? Because it doesn't look like there is something special. I mean - it's like there are 6 sides of the box for both eyes connected in one large jpg file.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Roman
