Tutorial: Stereoscopic panorama with Corona + Cardboard

[Fluss]

Is there a rule for the position of the images (ex: left on top and right on bottom) ?

Pretty sure this used to work, but looks like at some point during the frequent updates to GearVR / Oculus, you now just get a flat pano image rather than stereo. My guess is that the 360 Photos app is now looking for a different image format (could be related to image resolution as the test image I used was the 8K one from earlier in the thread that Marcin made; or perhaps it now only works with cubemap rather than spherical) - best bet would be to follow up with Oculus and see what format it is expecting these days, or of course use CoronaVR :)

I haven't found any conclusive or useful info with a search for how 360 Photos works with stereo panos these days (and in fact, due to that, I've been using a Cardboard app to view stereo photos or panos if I want to check them outside of CoronaVR, as just doesn't seem to be reliable info on what 360 Photos is expecting these days for stereo images).

Actually it was a 4K spherical, resized it to 1,2 and 8K, still didn't work in the 360 photos app. I did get a stereo effect from a cubemap, but it was reversed left-to-right - I did read somewhere that 360 Photos has it's own particular expectation for the order of images in a cubemap, apparently different from the "standard". Hope this helps!

Thx for the feedback ! I managed to get stereo effect through Samsung VR app. You can choose between various projection types which is really neat !

Is coronaVR available for Gear VR, on the oculus store ?

[TomG]

It's in beta at the moment so not available through the store - this page has all the info you need to sign up, and tutorials on how to use it! corona-renderer.com/vr/

Thx ! I registered and i'm waiting for the approval. Do you plan to support the new Gear VR remote controller ? I've got it and i have to say that it is considerably better than the gear VR built-in touchpad.

Hi

I am testing stereoscopic images on 5.5 inches phone with xiaomi VR play 3d glasses.
When I look through lenses I see no more than red circle area.


My question is if there are on market some 3d glasses for 5.5 inches mobile screen which can cover with their lenses almost whole screen area (green circle) ?
Do you have similar experience with your glasses?
If you have some free time, please try image in attachment on your glasses and let me know how big circle of view do you see, how big is your mobile screen and what 3D glasses are you using 8-). Thanks.
