vrpicasso Passthrough really highlights any flaws in camera position and scaling. I think directors need a more scientific approach to achieve precision in these areas, or it's a frustrating experience, constantly trying to get the image in the right place and distance.

I cannot upvote this comment enough. The bigger problem is that even with a consistent, scientific approach (which will never happen here since SLR has no top-down creative standards - they just give anyone a camera and send them out to shoot stuff), the directors have to shoot a product that will look correct in an infinite number of settings that people will project it into. Sure, you can use your player to change angles and zoom, but we all know how that warps the picture and adds to an already unrealistic and unimmersive expereience.

Passthrough is always going to be gimmicky nonsense that dumbs down what a true immersive VR experience should be. Otherwise, just change your name to 3Dporn.com and be done with it.

    I don't know, here are examples of some of my Passthrough. I think it already looks pretty great. The most important thing is to cut them out of the background perfectly, including the hair. I have not really seen any good distance shots of them walking around in your room yet. Lighting would be cool but not that important for closer shots. The distance stuff is something that needs to be worked, the closer stuff is looking pretty good now.

      Great video that mate, more passthrough please SLR !!!! (less creampies though)

        fallacy

        That's amazing. How the heck did you do that? Which video did you use?

        Is this something SLR could be doing on the videos on this website?

        PT looks great on my Q3, but not THAT great.

          One thing I don't like about these passthrough scenes is when then camera angle changes I need to move myself as well as the handy to accurately re-position myself for the videos. How about a scene where it's one angle only so that there is no interruption in the action.

            light8081 YES! Either that, or I'd love to see some screens for a few seconds to tell me about the upcoming camera change. VRBangers used to have those:

            I know they break flow and immersion a bit, but they are super helpful if you want to realign your whole setup.

                thatoculusdude yes, this is one thing that is annoying with PT. It's become even more annoying in my opinion now that all PT scenes dont include the male body, just a floating penis lol Talk about breaking flow and immersion hahaha

                Even though I recently jumped on the Q3 bandwagon and genuinely enjoy the PT in well lit areas, I am still going to be exclusively watching PT videos with custom background images instead once the DEOVR app supports that feature. I will be taking my canon VR system and taking 8k images at the correct heights and angles for all my favorite scenes. I am most excited about outdoor locations with bright crisp lighting. Then maybe one day DeoVR will also support a completely separate second video as a background for a PT scene, that way we can also have motion.
