  • DeoVR v HereSphere

fabtheo1 You can't get the api to load on HereSphere. SLR blocked them from using it. The only way to watch SLR vids on HS is to download them (but then they are mad that you are downloading too much 🤷‍♂️ ).

      Wendigo you are downloading too much

      Everyone who purchased a Quest 3 is likely trying out how the 'original' files look on their device. SLR's profit margin should be back to normal soon enough. However, they would be wise to have a plan competitive with POVR's $15.00 a month bundle, especially if they can work out the bank situation that allows POVR to accept Vanilla Visa cards.

        LordCrash No, it doesn't.

        Are you viewing the "original" film file or compressed files? Are you viewing the films over a 6e connection with a fast gaming PC?

          Two major features in HereSphere I would like to have in DeoVR:

          1. Autofocus
            I don't want to see a Cyclops during kiss scene. Autofocus is probably a good way to solve this issue for existing VR videos. In case of wrong distance prediction, the 3 sub-features probably can help to mitigate.
            1a. Swith ON/OFF autofocus by a button
            1b. Scripted auto focus
            1c. Eye tracking autofocus
            (Either by manually turn on during close scene, or pre-scripped to determine the distance, or by eye tracking Quest Pro only)

          2. PC GPU Video enhancement
            I have a powerful GPU (Nvidia RTX 4080), and probably video enhancement can be performed on PC side to upscale the video resoluion and improve the quality.

          hs allows multiple 2d videos to be played at the same time.

          Something i wish they both had is horizontal flip. not sure why its such a hard feature to implement. deo used to have it

          a month later

          Mouse support, I had not having a cursor I can move around with my mouse in Deovr, its the number thing I miss from heresphere.

          why not just solve this issue instantly and re-enable the api so we can use heresphere if we want to?

          Just tried Heresphere and I immediately notice the bump in framerates. The same videos plays much smoother, almost as if I had some frame interpolation like on modern TV (that is on my Quest 3) than on DEOVR.
          This is true with H264 shitty quality and H265 8K videos.
          Why is it so? Why is DeoVR not as smooth as Heresphere? Did I set up something wrong? (that's the native app, not the PC apps). Both are set to 120Hz btw.

            alkory deovr is in active development to boost video playback performance

              Thumbnail loading was improved recently and pages got faster now.
              Optimising shaders and graphics renderer next for better playback.

              HereSphere has a visual quality far superior to other applications and plays seamlessly on Quest 3 without any lag. But the biggest advantage for me is the controls; holding down the Grip button to rotate the screen and adjust the angle is very convenient and comfortable. Additionally, zooming in and out without distorting the image using the analog stick is very easy, making it very easy to correct models that appear excessively large or scenes that are too close or too far away in some scenes. Also, it's very nice that it automatically saves these adjustments made.

              I've just purchased an annual membership for SLR. However, due to my difficulty in getting used to the controls, especially in the DeoVR application, I will continue to use the HereSphere application. Therefore, I will have to download and play the contents compulsorily. Hopefully, someday we can also stream from the HereSphere application.

                alibak_88_002 Hopefully, someday we can also stream from the HereSphere application.

                we are open to discuss the deal

                alibak_88_002 it's very nice that it automatically saves these adjustments made.

                DeoVR does that too

                      Any chance you can allow streaming SLR content through Heresphere for annual members of SLR? My guess is that it wouldn’t affect the bulk of SLR members. Most users would still use DeoVR but it might drive some to get annual SLR memberships. Just a thought.

                      doublevr I'm still confused by SLR's refusal to partner with Heresphere (without insisting that Heresphere pay SLR). SLR makes most of it's money through selling content and Heresphere makes money by selling it's video player. If there are customers who would be more likely to buy SLR content if they could use Heresphere to view it and there are customers who would be more likely to buy Herepshere if they could view SLR content with it, it seems like a win-win for the two companies to join forces.

                      I guess if SLR thinks that they somehow lose more from not allowing Heresphere to stream it's content, then a deal wouldn't make sense. But I'm still trying to understand how allowing Heresphere to stream SLR content hurts them. My guess is that it helps them. It certainly helps me, a loyal SLR customer.

                          doowop

                          I imagine the get to harvest and resell some sort of user data when we are forced to use their native app. I havent seen any other explanation from them but thats the only reason I can imagine.

                              CraveDastry you so funny. Just picking the most outrageous explanation that somehow fits your twisted understanding of things.

                              Such a BS.

                              There's the whole business and dev logic in place that has to be respected running such a complicated machine as SLR became. Public forum is not a place to discuss the aspects of it. We might have one on one with developer.
