Let's Talk About Immersive Video

I'm an artist looking to make immersive video art. I'm starting a new series of immersive videos where I'll be experimenting and figuring things out and then sharing what I've learned.

This video is 180° and 3D. If you have an Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest headset, you'll get that experience. On everything else you'll get a 2D version that you'll be able to drag around to see outside the frame. This uses my VR180 Web Player that you can get from GitHub.

Note: This is an 8K video file so you'll need a fast connection for it to work. Also, Firefox doesn't always seem to be able to play back HEVC encoded videos.

Download or YouTube

• Download this high quality version for Apple Vision Pro.
• Download this side-by-side video for Meta Quest and play it with an app like Deo VR (choose SBS and LAT LONG for video settings).
• It's also available on YouTube.

How I Made This

Here's my camera setup (Canon R5C with the dual fisheye lens).

Here's how I added a spatial video shot on my iphone into this immersive video.

In this video I showed a clip of Blandscape, a short immersive film I made earlier this year. I also wrote about making it and the web-based immersive video player in Issue 5 of my zine.
