I'm quite new to this so bear with me please. Am I right in thinking there are various ways of creating 6DoF media?

Are they: gaussian splats, volumetric meshes, nerfs, point clouds and photogrammetry? Are there others?

Does 6Dof media exist yet? I only heard about it recently but find it incredibly exciting and want to try it and hopefully create/work with it. If anyone has a beginner's guide I would love to read it

Hi

I use Immersity AI to convert my VR 360 mono video to 3D top/ bottom and generate a depth map, then I combine them with video editing software. Do you know a better method ?

I'm interested in finding more VR video content. It seems like there's a few different types (correct me if i'm wrong, or let me know if there are better names):

• 2D content, which is just normal 2D videos that we can watch in headset

• 360 content, which is just a 360 degree video for both eyes, no depth information because each eye sees the same image

• VR180 content that's just a 180 degree video for both eyes, still no depth information because each eye sees the same image

• VR180 content that's stereoscopic; ie. it's filmed with a stereo camera, one 180 degree video for each eye. because each eye gets a different view, depth information is conveyed. however, it's limited to 3dof (ie. just head rotation), which can induce motion sickness especially if objects are too close and the parallax effect is large.

• the elusive 6dof content. the only good one I've found is Google's Immersive Light Field Video content (https://augmentedperception.github.io/deepviewvideo/). this is supposedly the most immersive

My questions are the following:

• What's better, 360 or stereoscopic VR180? while I find that depth is very compelling, the fact that stereoscopoic VR180 is only 3dof causes so much nausea for me. Is this true for you all? Or do you prefer stereoscopic VR180 all the way?

• Do you think 6dof is a game changer? If there's a lot of 6dof content, would people consume VR content more? put differently, is creating 6dof content worth it, given how much harder it is to capture?

• Where can I find more 6 dof content?

Thank you!!

Hi all,

Currently I am working on a project where I need to extract frames and the corresponding vehicle data like speed and kinematics with times stamps and save it in a file. any help is appreciated

Looking for:

• Tools or software recommendations.
• plugins for Unity or Unreal.
• Any guides or personal tips on the topic.

I am trying to figure out how to display 6 doF sensor capture data from an accelerometer/magnatometer. Looks like MatLab has a graphics animation library. Does anyone know of a free/low cost method for displaying this data?

is there a way to convert life cast holo videos to gaussian splatter ?

or convert multi kinect azure streams to GSplat? every frame.. and then a media player that can playback animated guassian splatter

Hey guys,

I was following the Vision Pro release and couldn't help but to wonder, what the killer application of the headset could be. Apple clearly put a focus on single user applications such as several monitors or a private cinema. A clear advantage of a headset compared to a real screen is the ability to show 6DoF footage.

Do you think, the Vision Pro will lead to more 6DoF Videos? Mabye Apple could support funding a feature film in 6DoF for Apple TV+ as a selling pitch for their headset? Or do you think it will have no impact on 6DoF video?

Would be interesting to hear what you think!

Still looking for some testers for a new light field layered depth 6DoF video app coming to app lab.

DM me or comment if you're interested. Thanks!!

Could you please help me with the direct links to make 6dof?

​

several years ago i've played with 6dof and I was amazed. After that I was full of my work so was unable to track the progress. Right now It is hard to understand how to run and have a 6DoF?
I found a linux script, but I do not work on linux.

I know that stereo2depth and Pseudoscience should help me. I've used search and found several posts, but non of them is having a link to download a Windows version.

​

Can anyone help me with a link to something new or at least the latest links to those apps?

​

thank you

Hey there,

I stumbled upon this mixed reality cam: https://www.stereolabs.com/zed-mini/
It can record 3D Video with a depth map. I wonder if you could create a true 6dof film camera with it, what do you guys think? I imagine you would still have the problem that objects can be blocked from your field of view when you move your head to the side but mabye you could fix that with additional action cams on a larger camera rig?

Would be great to hear your thoughts on it!

Just wondering if anybody is interested in testing a couple new 6dof formats. Just looking to get some feedback on a few things. Leave a comment if you're interested

Say I have a modern phone and a 360 camera.

If I wanted to take a 360 photo that I can watch in my VR headset and move a bit to the side (“walkable 360 photo”), how should I go about it? What else do I need to know?

I've been creating 3D pictures at holovolo.tv for a few whiles now, and I am loving it.

The hologram feature - 'text to 3d picture' allows me to create endless renditions of unique "art" by typing in stuff I want to see and clicking on the generate button. This app is addictive, so do be careful. Have a plentiful supply of snacks, beverages; and save the images to your nearest folder for later prints of your favorites. Really - the original prints are a great gift - Christmas is coming -USE your words. Lastly, Don't leave the site without viewing Gustavo Diaz on the piano - Exellentemento!
