The world's first stereo 360 planet video for Rift

Hi,

We are keep improving our prototype rig and getting one more step closer to holodeck capturing. it can now create problem free stereo 360 video. Here is a frame extracted from our demo video:

(plugin instruction goes here http://krpano.com/stereo3d/)

It would be very funny if there is a "webwalk"-like player for the Rift that display forward/backward 3D360 frames when a user "walks" along the defined path. 3D360 video sample available upon request.

Sometimes it's hard for non-rift users to understand this new media, so we created the first stereo planet view video for telling people what can our system do, although the sense of depth degraded in this mode. It was best viewed with VRplayer in dome projection:

Enjoy.

Regards,
KC

    Tried the youtube stream in Full Dome. Ensure that the projection settings are around 240 degree coverage (just what I personally found worked, kclai is there a recommended setting?), 180 degree heading and 180 degree tilt.

    At least with the YouTube video, it'd be better if the black space is at a person's feet as people are more apt to look up than down when the view is based on the floor. Sky born videos like helos and birds would be the opposite I think.

    By the way, I know the vr.js plug-in is popular, but I don't use it as I hate having to close out my browser to open a Rift game. There's a program for a local server that replicates this used for Google Streetviewer (forget the program name, but it's on this forums for that subject). That can work as well I think. Unless I'm wrong and they improved the browser plug-in in the last few months.
