Had a similar idea a few days ago 🙂 Maybe it s a bit chalenging to create a 3d view ... but there s surely a fix for

180/360 Picture support is coming to DeoVR. Already in the development / implementation stage 🙂 Different backgrounds in PT are also planned.

Hi Kat, thanks for the reply, though I think we're talking about different things :-)

By 'picture support' I guess you mean showing pictures instead of videos. What I'd like to be able to do is e.g. take a stereoscopic picture with an iphone and use that as the PT background of a video instead of relying on a limited selection of e.g. prefabricated CGI backgrounds.

Francin great idea, will pass this on to our developers team!

Just to add that the new Somnium VR1 headset will allow recording of stereoscopic video so I expect there will be in time more and more options for producing static backgrounds.

This would be a nice feature.
Why not start off by using the virtual environments or custom Skyboxes from DEOVR and or the Quest headset?

KatDEO

bncecil custom and virtual backgrounds are planned and will be released soon, most likely early 2024 🙂

KatDEO It's 2025 now, any news about this feature in the PC version of DEOVR? I couldn't find a way to use an image as the background for passthrough, I would also use the opportunity to offer/request the feature of a webcam feed support in the PC version, so people would be able to connect a simple webcam instead of the built in cameras the stand alone headsets have, obviously it won't be the same but it's better than nothing.

VRLovr Unfortunately, the Oculis Rify is an older headset model and no longer receives updates. As a result, we cannot guarantee that all existing or upcoming features will function properly on this device.

For the best and most reliable VR experience, we recommend using a Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S.
