More and more cool features with these VR goggles. I wish I have higher resolution (i.e. Apple's Vision Pro or even Meta Quest 3). But since Nadia bought Quest 2 for my birthday, which took me about a year to finally stop procrastinating from using it, I find so much potential with it: 3D movies, surround VR, I can also use it for 360 videos such as from Youtube or from my Insta360 recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I am eagerly looking for 3D movies, SBS (aka Side-By-Side) format. Thus, the subtitle would need to be converted from srt to ass format. The best of such conversion tool for Windows is TheZoc's sub3dtool<\/a>, with command line simply: sub3dtool input.srt --3dsbs -o output.ass<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I learned about 3D movies sharing by other users (mostly pirated) and chatting rooms like mirc, which are better than Meta's own meeting app. This app is called BigScreen<\/strong>. So basically I can download 3D SBS movies and convert the srt subtitle to ass SBS format and even share these movies with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BigScreen is very much like SecondLife, which wasn't really designed for VR devices as they weren't popular then. An alternative to BigScreen is probably VRChat which I have yet to sample. However, with BigScreen, one can easily create a conference\/movie nights, sharing even pirated movies, in 3D. The only downside in BigScreen is the movements, which is teleportation based. So you can't really walk\/glide around with your joysticks. I've seen some people managed to hack this (maybe they just physically walked around instead of using the controllers) and the only hack I found working was using Steam (PC) version of BigScreen, to do Gravity Reverse (floating up and down from teleported spots, basically). To do so, you'll need to install OpenVR (OVR) Advanced Settings<\/a>. The author turned it from free to $7.99 on Steam but you can still do this free from Github. Simply download and run the exe installer while SteamVR is running<\/a>. I'm saving this installer in case they remove it. The restart the app and the OVR settings will appear in Apps\/Games Detail\/properties page: Bind \"Gravity Reverse\" (float up) and \"Gravity Toggle\" to the controls and check gravity features under Motion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More and more cool features with these VR goggles.
