Your panoramas look awesome and much nicer than the OTOY samples on Gear VR - Vray really is perfectly suited to this format which is 100% the format of the future for architects and way way more powerful than still images - it will be a penny-drop moment for all in time
Regarding output I have done substantial testing and have found some down-sampling benefits the lower res DK2 with equi-rectangular 7200x3600 Top-Bottom config to be the optimum. Gear VR on the other hand is pixel perfect at 18432x1536 cube-map format. This is a special 'super efficient' format for mobile VR.
Hope this helps
Glad you like it.
When you speak about 7200x3600, that would be for a single eye, right? So this means that it would be 14400x3600 for stereo?
So if we do a quick math :
oculus screen DK2 : 1920x1080.
Single eye on oculus DK2 : 1920/2 : 960 per eye.
7200px divided by 960px is 7.5.
360 degrees divided by 7.5 : 48 degrees.
This would mean that each eye has a FOV of 48 degrees.
To back this up, I tried to find the FOV of a one eye on oculus, but I couldn't find the info...
If you just want to view cube stereo images, we already have a build of V-Ray that can generate them. Would be good if you can test if it actually works - GearVR is not available over here yet (if ever...)
Pretty cool mate,
Would you like me to convert them to krpano and host them somewhere for you?
It just take a few seconds and it's way more convenient to review
The latest nightly builds now support Cube 6x1 camera type, which is also supported by the VRayStereoScopic helper, so that means that you can render cube panoramas right out of V-Ray.

I loaded up your 10 panos in stereo.
I never did a stereo tour before so I took a bit of time to understand, but it's was worth it as it's my final goal is to do some as well.
Haven't placed any hotspots but if you look down, you have some arrow appearing, they will let you navigate from one pano to another.

Stan that's pretty awesome man! thanks very much for taking the time to do it. I think its a great way of viewing them in a browser.
Nice lean website too by the way - did you put it together yourself?
You're welcome, I wanted to try a stereo tour myself.
I'll be able to pump out my own once SP2 get released and the farm gets updated.
What lean website are you referring to? my portfolio website sbrusse.com? That has been done in few hours, just something to hold my vimeo showreel.
If you speak about the actual tour, it's all automated through KRPano, so no credit on this one beside setting it up
PS : I get even better performances with the browser than with a native app on windows.
That chromium beta with WebVR enabled just rocks, I hope you experience the same thing with your gearVR.
I'm very curious as well. The deep image tech by Presenz is very intriguing as is the Light Field tech by Otoy. I know VR seems trendy right now, but I truly think its here to stay. I'd love to see Chaos get in front of it. Can't wait to see what happens!
