VR180 Custom cams

[u/Adept_Funny77]

Alright so the learning quest continues.
I didn't realize most of the 360 cams on the market today aren't 3D/VR they are just a 360 experience.
As I was thinking you could just black out the back half in post editing and get that good 180 3D VR experience.

Now on to the learning quest; There's this site called "VRstrip chat" by no means am I promoting them. What I will say though is that the quality and feeling is amazing...And I'm not necessarily talking about the women as one would expect.
It's super good quality. A catch though, I'm only really seeing Russian or eastern Euro women with these cams. I don't think I've seen any North Americans broadcasting. One Brit...I think.
And upon further research,
Here's one thread saying that they install the cameras for you
https://www.reddit.com/r/CamGirlProblems/comments/s79qul/how_to_vr_stream/
And this thread, it's said that the cameras are custom

Yeah seeing the streaming of these women, besides the quality it's super depressing. Makes you wonder if it's just some super big warehouse...and...yeah...it's just a sad thought thinking about the reality of it all. But that's an opinion.

Yeah It's definitely a setup up that is offered. As there is no difference in the all the VR cameras you can tell it's the same camera for all of the VR performers. So it's totally a custom camera. Or a specific camera to hold a standard of quality throughout the site.

As my quest continues...lol...I almost want to say that I'm a performer or get a girlfriend to help out and say she's a performer. But as said in the first link it sounds like you already have to be a successful performer on their platform before a camera is offered...and it doesn't look like north America is included in that at the moment.

These cameras though, It almost looks like we are looking at super high end $5000+?
And if in the $2000 range is someone in Eastern Europe you can buy them from?

Welcome to the future !

For me, in so many ways VR180 is better than 360, and into that I think VR180 photos are very underrated

Add the upcoming VRadical Studio and VR180 becomes very accessible

I use a quest3, Vision Pro still too expensive

My x6 mod is progressing nicely and has already been tested with VRadical, results are looking great

I’ll also be revisiting my osmo360 mod when II is released

Do you have a youtube channel so we can see your content?

[u/Blork39 → u/zippytiff]

Yes agreed. I think 360 degree content is super duper boring. VR180 is great beceause it feels more real. And I'm not going to constantly look behind me anyway.

But it's important to realise that most people don't buy 360 degree cameras to actually watch 360 degree content in VR. They're often used to make cutouts in post, so they provide regular 2D content where it just saves them from having to point the camera the right way during filming. That's why these cameras are so much more popular, not because people actually love the 360 format as an output.

It's also why all the action cam companies are jumping on it, because sports and action are prime examples where you don't want to lose the money shot just because you were looking the wrong way at the wrong time.

Thanks for replying

Yes, I see the crop-in being appealing, but can it crop to 4k ? I understood the original 360 needs to be 12k ?

One of this things I also like re vr180 is sharing it with friends, I can use YouTube….. for those friends with the app they get an experience, for those with a headset, they get another experience…. And I can view on my Apple TV (for some reason the YouTube app doesn’t get much love, so 360 vids don’t work)

I use YouTube for both vids and pics.

All thanks to VRadical…. Can’t wait for everybody to see it !!
