Suggest background composition themes for Passthrough videos

yeah and it needs a script

doublevr as long as we have the no background option, this is harmless enough. I think the whole CGI background thing has been done elsewhere and looks awful so people are understandably nervous about it. I thought the recent passthrough scene, with the dark background instead of the green screen, was watchable as it was so, as long as the in camera dark background is still an option, experiment away with other options and we’ll see if they look ok.

I would love to see the ability to replace the background with another video layer. I know most of your content is shot on the K2 pro, so I would like to see some people who still own this camera shoot some quick footage in wild locations such as public spaces or landmarks from the laying down perspective that we can either play or loop in the background. Imagine one of your passthrough scenes with the Eifel tower in the background or from an exotic beach somewhere, or hell in the middle of a shopping center or parking lot haha. I know that the position of the camera changes several times in each scene but if we could either shoot our own points of view with a K2 pro or if people start sharing some scenes from all the different points of view, we can easily compile the background layer to also change in each change of view. I dont own the k2 pro anymore but I have a few shots of my living room where I simply keyed the background to one of your videos on premiere pro and it looked fantastic, much better quality than any crappy Meta 2 passthrough or any other headset in the market, it was true k2 pro quality background and it was like I was doing the pornstar in the middle of my own living room with the best quality possible. I really hope this feature pans out, trust me, people dont understand how good the passthrough looks with full resolution and camera matched footage vs crappy headset passthrough, its insane and until people experience it they wont understand it.

Sandi_SLR fantastic! Cant wait to play with this.
Quick question, can you plan on adding additional details to your passthrough videos that show timestamps or marks each time the camera changes? It would be great if we could get additional info on these passthrough videos at each camera change position, doenst have to be exact but something like "Horizontal, 18" above floor" or "Standing, tilted down, 6ft off the floor" or "laying down, tilted 10 degrees up, 16" above the floor"

With basic meta data like that we can have people with the k2 pro shoot a bunch of clips or scenes with those types of parameters that we can then use to populate a bunch of different backgrounds in the correct order and so that they are facing and angled correctly for the scene. It might sound like a hassle but if you are really serious about adding this second video layer option for custom passthrough scenes so we can load our own then you should really consider adding this level of information on your passthrough scenes.

metichemsi We dont have such info, especially height. The rotation is actually possible to find out when editing, but still we wont do that. Instead I already planned to allow bg having its own set of transform settings, as a child to the main dome. So you will get all the freedom to match the angle

Sandi_SLR Ok, that sounds good, I look forward to seeing how that works out. Forget about the height then but knowing at least the general angle of the camera at each instance would be helpful enough for us when we film our own bg shots. I've experimented with this and combining a sex scene that has the camera tilted up or down slightly with a horizontal background looks bad so I'm curious to see how far the transform settings can help with this before you start running into the edges of the bg footage either at the top or bottom, depending on the angle.

Very exciting to see you guys still keep experimenting with new stuff.

Any idea of when these features might start making it out? Days, weeks, moths, sometime this year?

doublevr I imagine a flat video that we imported on the VR headset and that would be playing at the same time as the VR video

Vrsumo2017 pornception....

Vrsumo2017 Wow this is great, this exactly what i wanted... sadly I can't use deoVR.
This should be add to the SLR app for sure !

Vrsumo2017 Being myself a monotasker, I do not get it why you guys would want to watch videos inside a VR porn video. Maybe the news channel but more porn? To be more efficient? To increase the dose? I mean you are not married to the 3D girl for 25 years and she will not tell you to go F yourself like when making phone calls or checking e-mails during sex. In some next gen VR, the 3D girl will smack you and walk away furiously when you even dare to think about Android overlay

DeoVR has a custom background setting i've set with some AI generated skyboxes from blockade labs. It would be awesome if the DeoVR background settings could be used instead of room passthrough.

SchnuppiLilac I do not get it why you guys would want to watch videos inside a VR porn

No one gets it, but it’s provocative… it’s gets the us viewers going!” (Will Ferrell voice) lol

Lol

doublevr I'm actually trying to do an unreal engine crash course so I can generate my own CGI backgrounds, since I dont own the K2 pro anymore and the canon footage just doesnt line up at all, I am working on trying to work out the workflow to export my own CGI scene matching the FOV and fisheye directly from unreal. I'm a total noob at unreal engine but I'm pretty close I think, I just need to hammer out some details with the developer of a plugin I am trying to use. Once I make progress I will start to share some very basic examples, that is, if I dont pull my head off as I'm learning this damn thing.
