fenderwq Nah, I mean DeoVR the other site is already allowing gallery... well pictures for upload this at least is more immersive... and may even be possible with their use of Dark Rooms to even do videos like 'Black Room VR' does/did as the name implies a blacked out room except the lighting needed for actresses. So, might work maybe?
For reference:

Should we add BrainDance 6DOF gaussians on SLR?
Yes please! I've been waiting so long for any 6DOF content, even a couple of images will satisfy my curiosity for now.
FirmBark the issue with volumetric video is the playback format and converting all that image data accurately to a preformant playable representation. There have been some attempts for porn and the field has seen a lot of research improvements lately like gaussian splatting etc. that convert all this image data to a volumetric "video" better and more efficient. It's on a bit of a technical turning point I'd say. Similar to the oculus dev kit days for vr.
However, playing back high quality volumetric video that actually looks like, let's say a good 4k vr video, requires quite a bit of processing power which is challenging on a pc and I don't think possible yet on a mobile device like quest (for now). So currently the performance and the conversion to the volumetric format are still pretty big bottle necks. So, quality is getting to a sorta acceptable point but it's very far from an 8k video still.
Also, you gotta realize, the techniques to make these videos guesstimate a lot of stuff to make the 3d data and textures. In practice this can mean that stuff that was not captured by the cameras is often not accurate (between legs when standing etc.), or for example a dildo merging with a girls pussy. Stuff like that. There are also some other challenges too. For instance. I'm not sure how feasible POV would be at the moment (due to what is obscured from the camera).
Still, having seen videos like that. It's definitely something completely different then vr180. It has huge potential and feels far more immersive. The 3d space perfectly aligns with the pass-through which alone is an awesome improvement. But of course your able to move around in a video like that too. Exciting times really.
It feels like now could be a good time for some early experiments. Research in this field is going fast and the quality of the content produced will improve with it. Can't wait for high quality volumetrics in the future.
DeoVR can't view/play it
...fuck yeah, this is literally the thing that will make PT work the way it should...
3 demos were really cool. Thanks for sharing. Girls were beautiful and video clarity was ok. Some minor artefacts here and there. I was actually surprised how far 6DOF is.
Poor controls though. Should be done differently. "Image" should be grabbed and turned around the girl not around viewer. Definitely needs passtrough for the backround as an option.

Found this other studio Xxxdimension doing the same

Curious if we want to start selling these pay per video with their player or wait until DeoVR integrates it. Also it's local playback only. Streaming is further down the line, more like a year from now.

doublevr I got all their splats both static and videos, they're very cool. I personally would love to see it expanded further, they definitely need more visibility.
Absolutely bring them on!
I feel like this is the future of vr porn. I love braindance, but I wish they would have a floor that could also disappear in pass through. Right now its always some obnoxious colored bed or carpet. Kills the immersion. Xxxdimension does a great job with this and you can manipulate the models to feel like they are right there in your bed. Their issue is the models aren’t that attractive :/

I have to say, I was shocked that they got motion to work with this. 3D scans have been around for years but having motion is a game changer. However, there is still a long way to go. One scene is like a minute or so of motion and is 10 gigs of data. That's still incredible compared to actual hi-res video from multiple angles, but it'd still take a ton of storage for anything longer. Plus, it doesn't seem like longer clips are possible as of yet.
Still, things will only get better, so I fully support whatever efforts you guys can do to help this tech along. The passthrough stuff you've been putting out lately is incredible too.
Also, their player really sucks. If you could view their stuff within the DeoVR app, that'd be convenient. I'm not sure how that'd work though since you seem to need a computer for good quality, according to them at least. I guess we'd have to use the PC version of DeoVR?

What type of PC tier is being referenced here? (Not sure if average or extremely highest end is be referenced against here.)
Also where should I look for the BrainDance demo files? (Thanks in advance!)
FirmBark well this tech (things like gaussian splatting, nurbs, etc) is moving crazy fast but deconding volumetric vr videos still requires a lot of processing power now.
Bet we could run the 4k sbs equivalent (quality wise) on a 4090 or something but for sure not on a quest. It's gonna get there though and probabily sooner then later. This tech is moving very fast probably because it's very valuable for Ai training.
Can't wait for deovr team to make it work for local playback. Then we can start selling the videos and film ourselves
doublevr When can we expect it?
This would be great, I tried Braindance on my pico, spent 1-2 hours trying to figure it out. Was really bad experience and just wouldn’t work. Spent $10 on a scene, click download, app crashes. No support on the Braindance site or replies on Reddit.

I have a quest 3 and I have purchased all of https://brain-dance.ai/ content. With a little tinkering, it's a game-changing experience. They have dynamic(Video) content now and it's amazing. I hope more studios and people get involved because the more the better!
