MN VR and HCI monthly meeting for Aug 2022: Creative Uses for 360 Video in VR. Event is in person and live streamed – details below.

Creative Uses for 360 Video in VR – Zach Chapman, Matt Summers Pixel Farm

We’ll share some new ways we used 360 video to get around Quest 2 performance limits for a VR driving demo made in Unity. It uses video data for a large detailed city environment, car mirrors, a futuristic car AR HUD at various depths, and other effects. We’ll cover:

Using video textures on multiple surfaces
Video atlassing for performance
Compositing with near and mid-range real geometry to avoid the flat video look
We’ll also talk about challenges and successes in using Unity Recorder for 360 video compositing and capturing hi res “headset” views. You can also try the Quest demo yourself, and try to spot which objects are 3D geometry, and which are pre-rendered video.
