While we wait for a headset with actual decent full color stereoscopic pass-through cameras, it would be great if you could help us with the current headsets we use. I had an idea for your video player to let us "layer" either an additional video or photo as a background to play behind your passthrough videos. This way, we could either film our own backgrounds if we have our own vr camera or be able to download different background videos or images online. That way we can already start to experience the best pass through experience while we wait for actual good headsets. You can turn this feature into a whole community effort where those of us who do have either a VR camera or know how to render CGI can create and share backgrounds to the community. It can be a way to also grow and even monetize users who won't necessarily be uploading porn content. Imagine wanting to watch one of your passthrough scenes but from the perspective of a public park in France right infront of the eiffel tower or from the Santa Monica pier in the middle of the day. Live passthrough is cool but very limiting, yea seeing the action from our bedroom is cool the first time, even with the current limited headsets, but it will quickly get old. Help us make this feature so that we can really take passthrough to the next level. I own a vr camera and have already started to test this manually by throwing the scene on premiere and then just keying my own personal footage and it looks 100x better than normal passthrough with a quest 2. If you can make this feature part of your playback functionality it would be gamechanger. Hit me up if you want me to expand further bit I think this should be pretty self explanatory.

    the lighting on the girl wont match the lighting on the background so it wont look very convincing

      spacepirate and the lighting of your bedroom will? That’s not the point, you are completely missing the point of this, if you somehow think that the pass through footage those cheap little cameras on your headset will be better or more convincing that proper video then this feature is clearly not aimed towards you. I appreciate your feedback but I completely disagree with you.

          metichemsi yo dude relax... im not trying to shit on your idea. just pointing out a potential problem with an approach like that.

          if you read my comment again i actually didnt say anything about passthrough and i didnt compare your idea to passthrough either... so not sure what you think you are disagreeing with.

                spacepirate that’s exactly my point, I’m literally talking about a method to not only recreate pass through with a much higher fidelity using full resolution videos or images, so if your comment is not even about pass through then what are discussing here then.

                  Sandi_SLR that’s good to hear, to bad it doesn’t seem to be a priority though given how prevalent pass through has been on your recent blog posts. If you are serious about pass through content then I would recommend you treat it as such. This would allow all users of VR to at least start to utilize and experiment with pass through regardless if their headset supports it or not.

                      doublevr thanks, glad to hear you like it. Someone from the SLR team recently replied that it was something that was already planned even though we have not heard of it before but they also said it was not a priority? I hope you can help change some people’s minds about this because it would be a huge first step in the right and immediate direction to help push pass through this early on.
