  • DeoVR v HereSphere

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:
          https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/stress-relief-with-venus-vixen-40792
          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.

            vrpicasso what hsp does abd how do you get it for the video?
            Is it like config for with all the player settings?

            For colors just change color profile in deo vr to the one you like

                doublevr yes it's the settings saved for that specific video, including keyframes. There are some settings (top left in Advanced settings) that are global and are user-defined across all scenes, but most settings like color / distance / alignment etc are scene-specific and can have keyframes.

                Hsp files are auto-loaded when you open a scene in Heresphere and auto-saved on exit, but there are settings you have to enable - this is the kind of thing you figure out once then never think about again so it's been a couple of years for me 🙂

                Color and tonal adjustments in DEO are very basic - eg as soon as you start fixing exposure the image breaks down. It's like MS Paint vs photoshop. Obviously complex is the opposite of easy, so most users will want something simple like DEO. But really you need hidden settings for advanced users if you want to become the default player for everyone. I would treat Heresphere as the ultimate collection of settings presented in an unintuitive way, and if you can achieve the same power with a better interface then you'd have something really interesting.

                  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.

                      a month later

                      doublevr It depends on your mental state mostly I guess. I always get seriously disassociated when there is nothing going on for some reason.

                      Another point that Heresphere does well imo is recentering/moving by holding the trigger on the quest controller. I always use my Quest in the dark so sometimes it has trouble staying centered. Even when you use the recentering button in DeoVR it can still be off quite a bit. Using the trigger on the right controller to fix that is really helpful, especially when it's really smooth like in Heresphere.

                          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.

                              vrpicasso And now with DEO you can move the whole "dome" in every axis, which works better than Heresphere as far as I can tell.

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

                                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?

                                    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.

                                            rerun119 horizontal offset means drag right and left horizontally?

                                              rerun119 idk how it works exactly, but on DeoVR Horizontal offset fixes the horizontal scale, and Vertical offset fixes the vertical scale. I don't think it has anything to do with tilt or positioning

                                              They're a must for the new passthrough scenes since the scale is always off and zoom alone doesn't fix that. When the girl looks too small, I set both to +1.0. The scale on regular VR scenes is usually off too, but it's harder to notice since I don't have a real world reference
