LordCrash that is years away from full realization I do feel disappointed.

With the Pico 4 / Quest Pro / whatever else is around the corner, might not be all that far away.

No one quote me on this...I am not on the Dev side of things, just speaking as a VR enjoyer šŸ˜…

But I hear you. Hopefully with the increase in US and EU productions you (and everyone) will have plenty of weekly options to choose from.

      Didn't read the entire thread so not sure if this was mentioned, but couldn't you just edit any video to remove the background? There is AI software that can do this pretty well now (u-2-net). It could potentially make all videos passthrough-ready.

        Well, that's not the mass market though. I doubt a lot of customers are willing to invest four-digit amounts in their VR tech. But we'll see where this is going...

          sletje l got an app called fotor that can eliminate any background in the picture and keep the figure perfectly..This technology will function well to videos

            Maybe some day the algorithm will let us choose specific area to passthrough like picture editor

            Iā€™ve found blue to be the most effective key chroma color on most vids. Try it on all the swallowbay vids, it varies per vid but somewhere around
            60
            50
            50
            16
            100

            Most keep hair/eyes fully, and almost completely loses all background including blue/grey/purple//green/white/black. This applies to tons of other vids Iā€™ve found. Def takes a lot of fooling with which can be annoying. But end result is unreal if done right. Hope to see a lot more

            I watched the recent Xlayna video with passthrough. It's really interesting, unfortunately with Quest 2 cameras the effect isn't very immersive. I can see how it could be really cool in the future.

            I wonder if there is a way to match the lighting better. Recently i saw a tool that could take any 2d image and light it from a different direction (Clipdrop Relight). Maybe something like that could be possible for videos too

              Make sure to upgrade to Quest Pro to get pass through to the next level. It's colored and stereo

                doublevr Would you gift one to me? I miss the times in which you could just watch some porn for a few bucks without the need to buy fucking Meta tech for more than a grand before...

                    LordCrash things come at a cost. They definitely are making no money on hardware. Likely donating like 1k for each unit to make hardware more affordable.

                      What they really need to do is allow you to select a specific color you want to remove from the image, that would help a LOT. And then you could literally get passthrough to work really well on any video where the model is wearing different colors than the background. Right now the Hue doesn't do anything, saturation just makes the image look red. It's clearly the future and it's going to be fantastic but we're probably at least 2 years from it being really good.

                          It does, sometimes you don't need to choose a color, just start of with turning saturation on and adjust color range to about -10 and scoot it to the left till u get a passthrough. If that don't work then try the matching the color of the background.

                          I suggested more Hue options to take out more colors when needed.

                          But it works šŸ‘
