DeoVR v HereSphere

doublevr I went from a Pimax (it broke) to a Quest 3 then I just bought another Pimax.
There is a bigger difference in image improvement with the Pimax.
The Pimax doesn't have as good of a image as the Quest but it makes up for it in FOV.
I didn't notice as much of the autofocus working it's magic because the quest has a bigger sweet spot and smaller FOV. So the DEO makes most of the image in good focus. The Pimax as a little sweet spot and big FOV so HereSphere really shines when you look around in this big open world.
On all the edges of any video the image is out of focus with DEO, even if you look at it in the center of the Quest. With HereSphere it is crisp.

If you guys could get the autofocus working well then that would be a big one off the list.

rerun119 the autofocus is mostly about correcting double vision. Like a face very close or that signature lie beside you handjob thing vr edging does.

fenderwq Have you used Heresphere Autofocus?
If you tilt your head at a 45% angle, it will put it in focus.

fenderwq that signature lie beside you handjob thing vr edging does.

Why is this out of focus? Because the camera capturing the video for some reason stretches the image at the edges.
Even if you are looking at a horizontal level. If there are 2 girls and one of them is to your left or right. If you look at her the image will get distorted the further she is to the side. HereSphere corrects the image perfectly

rerun119 you misunderstand me and maybe misinterpreted you too. I used here heresphere exclusively for years so yes I know and love the autofocus. Guess we are on the same line there. Though you said the lack of autofocus on deovr with quest 3 isn't as much an issue as with the pimax (which is why I wondered if you understood what autofocus is for as it is needed regardless of your FOV). Anyways, the lack of autofocus with quest 3 and deovr is a BIG issue still that's what I was getting at with the examples

If you don't understand the advantages of Heresphere then please have a look at this scene in DEO:

Download it first for best quality. You will notice that the color is kind of washed out, the perceived scale changes throughout and the stunt cock position (and distance) is all over the map and constantly changing.
Now watch it in Heresphere with this hsp file placed alongside the original file (make sure the filenames match): https://mega.nz/file/YOAWRBjJ#mU1utjuvh5wuTsOSYGGEsXTI8vmQdEPQ3dznPmtpdUs
You may have to change the position one time but after that it's going to line up and scale should look better because keyframes enable constant tweaks to fix the original production quirks. You also have more natural colors and better black levels. And crucially, the hsp file is tiny and sharable, like a funscript, so only one person ever has to go through the tedious process of fixing a scene. Every VR scene needs some level of tweaking.

doublevr Also HereSphere is fast and smooth. DEO is slow.
I don't know what causes one over the other but I just wanted to point out the differences. I have heard a couple of times that DEO app developer codes are not as well made. Don't kill the messenger, that is just what I have seen people write.

The biggest thing for me by far is that in HereSphere you can browse to another video while the current video keeps playing. I know you can use the info tab in DeoVR too, but not for browsing local files.

A big plus of DeoVR is being able to control the Tcode3 sliders from within the app itself instead of having to adjust it with an external program.

Denarius That's something you can do in DEO, you just have to set it up in the menu. And now with DEO you can move the whole "dome" in every axis, which works better than Heresphere as far as I can tell. This is literally the one area, apart from ease of use, where DEO does it right. Sadly, without keyframes when you watch a scene in DEO you have to constantly change the camera view so you're conducting the scene and flailing your arm around like Leonard Bernstein.

HereSphere could always do that. There is a "user setting" to enable the 3rd axis.

vrpicasso Thanks! I'll try setting that up in the menu.

Is anyone else unable to set the min and max values with the T-Code sliders in DeoVR at all now or is it just me? They just pop back in their old position after you moved them. I haven't tried rebooting everything yet though.

doublevr

doublevr I'm excited with forthcoming DeoVR plans.

I'd be interested to read about those plans, is there some info about it somewhere?

SchnuppiLilac Can heresphere place things located more to far left or right to the center of the video?

Yahu Obviously, you cannot move objects from one place to another inside a video. What you can do, and this should be possible in all players, is rotating the entire sphere onto which the video is projected so that the far left or right will be in the center of your view. Of course, this means for 180 or 200 degree videos that there will be a black area in your field of view beyond the edge.

I can't find a DeoVR thread, so I'll just post this here. You should really move the new Coaxial Distance slider down. Zoom and Horizonal/Vertical offset are two settings that are usually changed together. However, now I gotta keep scrolling up and down to tweak them because Vertical offset and Zoom aren't visible at the same time. Either make the whole menu slightly bigger to fit one more item or move Coaxial Distance down so Horizonzal/Vertical offset and Zoom are visible

lolitovtb Doesn't Vertical offset move the 2 eyes position? Like they should been on a straight plain. If the camera that filmed it was tilted then you can move vertical offset to fix it.
I use Horizontal all the time but never vertical. I don't think vertical is used for zooming in and out the picture.
I could be wrong but I think you are using that setting wrong.
