3d 360 panoramas for SAMSUNG Gear VR

[3LP]

Sorry if my post was a bit confusing. I didn't mean the iPhone was better than the nexus, I was just surprised how good the iPhone was with roughly a quarter of the pixels. The detail was far better on the nexus, it was just I could see how the screen worked like in your wiki post. My Moto X Style has the and resolution as the Nexus but uses IPS which to my eyes is the best phone for VR I've found.

Sony are releasing a 4k phone next month, Z5 premium, or something like that.

Gosh I'd like to try that one out with a head set!
Why can't they use those type of screens in real headset like oculus etc just to get a wider field of view.
Aren't out yet but they seems already so outdated with those screen that are only 2k

The reason why oculus and vive are already out of date res wise is because they are geared towards gaming and real time applications. A top top end computer today will more or less be the minimum requirement for the first gen of headset.

So for pre rendered 3d I think we are better off with the ultra portable phone based VR... which is actually more expensive unless you count the fact that you need a phone anyway.

I agree. I broke my Nexus 6 in the summer so I needed a new phone anyway, when the insurance paid up I looked for something I thought would work well for VR.

seems that their is no app that can stream 4K at the moment and the phone itself can't used the 4K outside of it's own player.

I'm very happy with my G3
Just need a good cheap VR headset/viewer

(good and cheap hehehe, at least I didn't say I need it good, cheap and yesterday)

[DanielBrew]

Unfortunatly, that one is not available on amazon.fr

This seems to be the same with different branding.

Morné, the headset just needs to be reasonably well made and adjustable for both interpupillary distance and focus.

thanks to add the link please.

Sorry done now.

Well that's quite disapointing to not let you view your content at 4k if you wish.
No matter battery life, VR and specially headsets with mobile phones, will rise as being a business market where you'd have the phone dedicated to that task only.
At least if they released the web browser being 4k, KRPano would work in 4k

Are there any of these that work for people already wearing glasses?

You don't need PPI that high, the release version of the oculus has fresnel lenses that renders the pixels invisible even at 1024x1024 pixels.

If it's the case, Zeiss, as an optic specialist, will probably release a VR headset with a fresnel glass too.

That sound great but what are we gonna see then? blurred pixels? double pixels? really big pixels?
at the end you still have a number of pixels that's covering a field of view, so I'm guessing at some stage you will se some sort of pixellisation, and if it's better than now where as if you see through a wire fence, the solution is not to get blurred or pixelated pixels IMO.

Unless I'm wrong with the optical technicity behind it

it is a blurring filter yes, but it is better than seeing pixels / pixel gaps and it is better than the frame rate dropping too low.

even ultra high ppi displays can still suffer from screen door effect if the pixels themselves are small vs the gaps.
