VR videos are really cool in flat. Check this out

Kind of reminds me of when Asus used to make monitors that turned any video into a 3d video with the press of a button. You had to wear glasses, but it worked pretty well. I had three of them set up side by side in portrait mode and it was pretty fun to use with POV porn.

I guess you don't need glasses with these pads though

metichemsi

mebejoe yes, very similar, by the way that sounds like it was a sweet setup. Overall pretty cool experience and the portable and multi use factor of the tablet mode and features plus, it was 40% off at the time made it a no brainer for me.

metichemsi coming to the office soon. took longer than expected. totally looking to put my hands on it

doublevr Nice, I hope your team can setup a way to stream your content in 3D on these devices. I'm pretty sure one of their future updates will allow VR viewing in 3D from the microSD or USB drive, but streaming would be perfect on these. Have fun with it and keep us posted on what creative uses you come up with.

Well, considering that Oculus had not even released DK2, and when they did, it was next to impossible for somebody like me to get it to work consistently -- YES! It was quite a lot of fun.

I later got a 47 inch LG TV that had the same feature -- I hung it from the ceiling over my couch., so it was practically right in my face. But one day -- BAM! It dropped, and it was beyond repair. And they stopped making them.

But that's okay, the VR headsets now are pretty great, although there was something about not being trapped inside a headset that was pretty cool

metichemsi Streaming 3D to this device would be sweet. I imagine streaming VR videos to this would be an experience similar to the SLR web video-player experience. Instead, when pushing play, the models pop out and we use touch-screen instead of the mouse to look up, down, left, and right, providing a more fluid experience.

Stream to 3D just released on Steam made specifically for the VR community, and it may possibly work with this 3D tablet. It converts from 2D to 3D with real-time conversion and supports streaming to 3D and 2D devices. Do you think something like this would work in the meantime before any of their future updates?

I may just buy this 3D tablet in addition to a new VR headset because I'm getting Kindle Fire HD vibes all over again ... and this pad is a whole 2-3 inches bigger than my tablet. Time for 2 upgrades in one. 😁

mebejoe wow ok, that was way back in the day of VR. I'm pretty sure I still have my Dk1 and Dk2 headsets somewhere. Man, I would have killed for 3D monitors like that back in those days. I still have a 65 inch curved 4k samsung TV that does active 3D, it also has a feature to turn content into 3D now that I think about it. I'll have to run some tests later to compare which one does a better job now. I just hate having to use active glasses, the batteries dont last at all or swell to the point of being dangerous so I have some glasses that I can get to work with a battery bank but they are wonky. Nice to see another man of culture when it comes to 3D, there must be a dozen or so left of us these days 😆

abcrebel If done right, the 2D to 3D conversion would be a game changer! There’s so much 2D POV videos out there that it would open up a world of possibilities if done right.

metichemsi

abcrebel Yes, even non POV content looks cool in 3D. I have been downloading all of my favorite 4k scenes from one of my all time favorite sites, perfectgonzo, and watching them in 3D. Very cool, I will have to check out that Stream to 3D app on steam for sure as well. Thanks

abcrebel

dango789 I think I was getting ahead of myself when thinking about streaming 3D to a 3D projector, considering that the equivalent of AR or Passthrough without glasses.

abcrebel

metichemsi Sure, this could be a new way of gaming too. All those adult visual novels I've been skipping have more appeal now; funny how that is. One little trinket (3D) effect and I'm all eyes ... looking at you Projekt: Passion 👀

doublevr

abcrebel the link didn't work for me

metichemsi

abcrebel Man, you know what game I want to play now that you mention that.

abcrebel

doublevr hmm..here are the full links:

doublevr

Thx
abcrebel some preliminary check by our engineer on Stream to 3D on Steam

They claim https://iwantaholodeck.com/stream-to-3d/ that some temporal shift on left and right eye can cause effect of 3d on moving objects. Basically they calculate and perform temporal delay without changing any frames themselves. Need to check how it looks - not sure effect will be very noticable
Have not noticed any 3d effect on converted example videos

sylvan

it gives some depth to the 2d videos, but nothing extraordinary ( like 3d televisions or bluray players which transform 2d films into false 3d); For me it's more pleasant than 2D but it has nothing to do with real 3D or VR

metichemsi

sylvan yes, that a good way to explain 2D to 3D conversion in my opinion, it does give depth but not pop. Meaning, your most forefront subjects will always be as far up as the screen of the device, everything else will just be given depth further back. Where true 3D gives you pop above the screen plane and depth behind the screed depth. Still very cool to watch all this 2D content with a 3D effect.

sylvan

ps it's a shame deovr can't do that

doublevr

sylvan do what?

sylvan

to convert video 2d en 3d ( i'm french: i wanted to say: it's too bad , the expression "it's a shame" is not exactly, i like deo

doublevr

sylvan no worries 👌
I don't think there's a way to do it now, but we are keeping our eyes on it

sylvan

metichemsi : before vr existed and there were few true 3d videos: I used the 3dfier software: which integrated into a stereoscopic player and with a 3d vision screen: I watched the 2d videos: converted into false 3d: c It wasn't so bad!
