[deleted] Because I know what camera their 7K scenes were shot with and the scale and color characteristics of their supposed native 8K scenes is unchanged from that*.

When the producers change camera the scale changes slightly because the newer camera usually doesn't have identical inter-lens distance to the old one. This is especially relevant between the camera they are upgrading from and the limited 8K camera options available.

Similarly, camera models have different sensors and different image processing and that results in the color characteristics of the captured image varying between the models. Sites never correct for this perfectly and I'm yet to see any site upgrade camera without a noticable shift in colors.

Additionally, they are now upscaling older scenes to 8K with some new method that admittedly looks a lot better than whatever method they were using for upscaling their 7K previously. Coincidence that they happen to start claiming scenes are natively shoot in 8K the very moment they introduce this new upscaling workflow? Nope.

Beyond all that, why wouldn't they tell porkies about this when it's so easy to convince customers who really don't know any better? I bet they could do regular, non-AI upscaling of 5K to 8K and people would still be like "wow 8k! the image is so crisp!" because of the placebo effect.

* It's possible that some of their lesser used production teams, e.g. their Spain-based team, are shooting in native 8K. Their main US-based team is not shooting in 8K.

    [deleted] I saw that too. There were some complaints after the first 8K scene, to which they replied that it was shot in native 8K with an entirely different workflow that still needed some optimization.

      SchnuppiLilac NA 3D - Does anyone know what this is?

      In case anyone else was curious:

      There are two versions, either for Quest and AVP. In a nutshell, it's a 4K 2D video from 2023 transformed into a spatial video. It required a few simple adjustments to make it look right in HS. I only checked it out briefly but i thought the result looked pretty good.

      @Vrsumo2017 aka We need more...: I think you should check it out 🙂

          SchnuppiLilac gonna check this out later. Any chance you could let me know what adjustments in HS you made for improvement? Still not use to all the settings there.

              Cbomb333 I used the Quest version (mp4) and had to adjust the aspect ratio (in basic video settings), maybe also projection and stereo but not sure anymore. That was it. In DeoVR it played fine, just had to zoom in.

                  This is just some random pic I found with Google. The idea was just to make it easier to find the settings I was talking about.

                      SchnuppiLilac I ended up using deovr. It was interesting but not something I would watch frequently. I definetly wouldn't pay the money NA is charging for it. Think it's 30 per month or extra 10 if you have a sub already. It should be free with a standard sub considering VR scenes are included already. Not consumer friendly. Eventually I'd like to try it with one of their pov scenes but I wasn't blown off my feet. Thanks for the share regardless.

                        KMPVR leavingSLR ?

                        I got a message about one of them saying "Scenes Hikari Sakuraba – Ass Cosplay with Hikari Sakuraba leaving SLR Premium on September 18. Secure your favorites now with pay-per-video option"

                        Thats a bummer :-(

                          SchnuppiLilac In case anyone else was curious:

                          I was until the file was 12g, SMH I don't even have that much on my headset or phone 🤦‍♂️

                          Going to need make some room before downloading it.

                          It's not streamable? Slr not able to upload it to their 2d section? It's a free file. 🤷‍♂️

                              Vrsumo2017 It's actually two video files in that zip file. The one for Quest is 5 GB, the one for AVP is a bit bigger. If you don't have 5 GB of free space on your headset, you should indeed clean up. But surprised that it seems you never downloaded a VR video and played it wireless from a PC or something. You are the wet dream of SLR senior management. I am starting to hate you!! Just kidding.

                                  No, KMPVR asked to deactivate few particular videos only. They keep adding their content on SLR, no worries.

                                    SchnuppiLilac I'm looking for 3d, spatial? The 5g looks more 3d the 7 gig.

                                    Looks good!! 👍

                                    but kinda makes me mad cuz I don't think I saw one bikini car wash in vr this summer 🤦‍♂️

                                    2d porn has all the fun 😞😒🤬

                                      Did yall see the meta connection?

                                      Idk bro but I wasn't to impressed with the presentation, I might have to watch the full presentation in full, but crowd seem meh at times, like some parts mark would say thIs gadget will have THIS! Or we're working with Microsoft! and the crowd had no reaction 🦗🦗, and mark seem like he was expecting a reaction to some of his reveals but got silence.

                                      And who the hell told Mark he needed switch up his look, now he 420 hippy mark? I think I like AI mark better 😁

                                      We're yall impressed with anything? What yall think? Anyone?

                                        Vrsumo2017 Dude dressing like a rapper now after wearing his grey tshirt and jeans uniform for like 15 years. Trying to convince us that he is human. Reminds me of

                                        The Quest 3S is almost not worth mentioning. Crazy to think it took them 12 months to reskin a Quest 2.

                                            Vrsumo2017 We're yall impressed with anything?

                                            Damn they made a Lil movie with only usung the ray bands, that was pretty cool!

                                            Marks said in the future you can talk to holograms and they'll be sitting on your couch next you.

                                            I'm just like... Mark bro! Lol we literally have hotties on our laps, the future is here bro!

                                            The Orion glasses look good 👍

                                            The q3s, mark said everything is better on qs3 compared to q3 but cheaper price, I'm curious If pt looks better 🤔

                                            I'd grab one for the price just for the hell of if 🤷‍♂️

                                            Presentation was pretty good, some parts kinda awkward, sometimes Mark would mention something and kinda waited for a crowd reaction but didn't get it, one reviewer said the same thing. Said something was kinda awkward with Mark.

                                            Over all the tech looks awesome though 👍

                                            Still didn't see any sex appeal 😕
