Merveilleux, quel travail passionné, merci beaucoup Hugh! Un grand professionnel, un peu comme un chef d'orchestre, sans fausses notes!👏👏👏 Wonderful, what a passionate job, thank you so much Hugh! A great professional, a bit like an orchestra conductor, without false notes 🙂

How did I miss Skybox release for AVP?! Game changer… thanks Hugh!

Hi Hou, big thanks to you from a 3D video creator in China, your knowledge is so helpful!

[PHILANTROP]

bonjour Hugh! Merci beaucoup, un merveilleux travail, belle vidéos ! hello Hugh! Thank you so much, wonderful work, beautiful videos! :-)

[gehalumix]

Thanks for the video and the demo images. I watched them on the Quest 2. Fantastic Quality! But not with Skybox. I recommend Pigasus VR. The best image viewer for Quest. Full Res! I use it for my XPhase Pro Pictures. I‘m glad that 180VR looks also great with Pigasus. To view 180 VR you have to set the mode to 180 and the style to stereo/side by side. Even on the old quest 2 it looks good to me, and i'm spoiled (xphase pro). It also loads fast (NAS is supported).

Love your videos! Do you think you'd ever do a tutorial on creating 180 3D Immersive Video using the Unreal Engine?

[EscapeVR_]

Thanks for the tips! You always seem to have workarounds for issues these camera/software companies just didn't think of or simply haven't fixed yet. I hope they are picking your brain before every VR product release... 😎

Skybox is my favorite VR player for AVP right now too. It feels way more polished than the others.

Wow, I got yelled at taking non-flash photos in the Louvre. I'm glad you were able to do it.😊

The augmented content of a classic painting experienced through an AR display as mixed reality in private residence would be great.

Hugh, thanks for another cool video. Wondering if there is an app to produce "Apple native" VR180 images, so they can be viewed without a 3rd party tool? I tried the R5II + RF5.2 and the results are pretty amazing, even without upscale. Both Topaz and R5II native upscale produce weird patterns which I don't really like. Regular LR Denoise is great though.

Hey Hugh great job as usual. I am having issues with the Canon VR Utility. It is not converting files to equirectangular Any ideas?

[JasonWendling]

This is exactly the info I needed. Thanks for posting.

[fsilmael]

Hi that seems really cool, any equivalent app for Occulus Quest?

[VR_Burak]

Hey Hugh is there a way to automate the auto transcription subtitles to Text3D in da vinci resolve with new davici resolve update. You tought use how to add text but it is such a hassle to add subtitles to your VR180 project

[dlep]

quick question, sorry if I missed it in your video. does the 3.9mm aps-c dual fisheye lense work on R5 MKII? I'm now using the 3.9mm with R7, but really hate the 4k (2k per eye) blur, wondering whether R5 MKii could fix the issue. thanks

[dlep]

You think canon will update the 3D lens for full frame? Got the R7, but found out 4k still not enough resolution for avp. R5ii is so good, it’d be great if they update the lens to auto focus

[zippytiff]

Would this work on my insta360 x4 evo pro….. smallest 8k spacial camera !? I picked up where insta360 stopped with their evo range

[highhopes]

Hey Hugh, How can I Stich the photos without the canon vr app? I want to try it on my calf, I might found a solution with STP for windows but I'm not sure it's the best way and that I'm getting the correct view

[wuabcountyboy]

Is there a No PC/MAC work flow where the 3D photo can be downloaded to ipad, then edited and airdropped to Vision Pro for viewing?

[charleswilliamson]

The output of Topaz is fantastic! I can't get the exif to transfer though? EVU does not recognize the JPEG it outputs. Help!
