The guy with the hat may be the first person on record having said put it back in in front of this camera (at 1:50).

jommy More complicated than this. In addition to being old generation VR Cams as you said, there are other factors that can cause these issues to VR Webcams like:
1- Defected from long time use.
2- Not identically calibrated out of the box.
3- Most of these budget old 4K VR Webcams (3840x1920 @30 FPS @160° FOV) are using cheap image sensors that can be defected overtime. Also they are of poor performance to handle both low light and high light conditions, so you need pretty balanced/ ideal lighting condition for them to work optimally without causing visual artifacts like the ones we mentioned previously.
Fortunately, Dreamcam started to provide 6K VR Cams to performers like "Mandi4pole" and I really hope they will replace all of these awful old 4K VR Webcams for all the performers, since this newer 6K VR Webcam image is really very good in terms of visual clarity, scale, focus and vivid colors.
And you're right, VR Webcams are still a super niche market.
sogman Absolutely. Although, Quest 3 maximum video decoding is 8192x4096px @60FPS (when it comes to 60FPS which is the minimum we need for VR Videos).
You'll still have better video quality on your Quest 3 when watching videos produced by this 16K VR camera. For 2 main reasons:
1- The RAW video itself produced from this VR Camera is very high quality out of the box EVEN if they shoot it at 8K @60FPS because of its use of new and advanced image sensors that will provide better video quality from sharpness to colors compared to other VR Cams to put it simply.
2- If they shoot in 16K then Supersampled it to 8K @60FPS, you'll have a sharper image than native 8K @60FPS produced from this VR Cam and from other VR Cams.
But of course, the best is when we have future VR headsets capable of decoding 16K @60FPS to have this impressive native resolution of this VR Camera. And we have to be very patience until that happens.
sogman First of all, I don't recommend you to invest in AVP if you plan to use it for video consumption mainly, because it uses the M2 chip which lacks support of AV1 hardware decoding (Most of future videos will use it for better quality).
Personally, the only big deal about AVP is its high resolution OLED screens, other than that I don't have any interest in it because of its closed ecosystem which limits what you can do in VR.
And for the "Spatial Video" format they are trying to push, which is the SAME Stereoscopic videos we have for more that 100 years (It's just a flat video with depth ONLY) it lacks both immersive FOV and real life scale for characters and objects we used to love in VR Videos. In other words, it's an older tech than VR and it's not better or more enjoyable.
As for the upcoming VR headsets, here you go (To make things more organized):

doublevr Sorry, didn't get a notification about your reply, just saw it now. I almost replied to @fenderwq about the same thing! Damn! Lol!
So, to not spam this post, please read my last reply on "Upcoming VR Headsets" post. We can continue from there if you're interested.
Apologies again, I don't know why I didn't get a notification.
https://hub.dreamcam.com/en/instructions has some basic info on the cams. As far as I know, performers or cam studios have to buy one of them if they want to participate.

That's some cool info thx
I wish studios would read this and follow the advice when setting up room lighting! https://hub.dreamcam.com/en/instruction/prepare_room
deovr.com has some close-up VR footage of BM URSA Cine Immersive, also filmed at the SXSW exhibition stand.

If anyone hasn't seen it yet, Hugh has received his camera now
Silly-Sausage This time seriously TEST before upgrading - Release snippets or test files as the canon was possibly the biggest disaster in VR history !
I can't agree more. The R5C debacle was a MASSIVE setback for VR porn. We lost over a year of content just because nobody bothered to film some test footage. (Every studio dropped the ball btw, not just SLR)
Please, film some samples and share them with the community ASAP!
