VR17 Release Overview Video
Render VR 360° Stereo Camera
[vrview img=”https://www.strata.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/VR-Interior-blanc-v0396-hi-A.jpg” pimg=”https://www.strata.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/VR-Interior-blanc-v0396-hi-A.jpg” stereo=”true” width=”100%” height=”300″ ] The above image (created by Xavier Mestres) was rendered using the new VR 360° Stereo camera. Click and drag on the image to rotate around in this full 360° environment – which is impressive and useful on a 2D monitor. If you really want to step into this project, use a VR viewer (such as Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR and similar) along with your smartphone and you’ll be immersed into this environment. One of the reasons this creates such an immersive experience is that unique images are generated for both eyes and for full 360°. Unlike previous simple spherical images, the VR 360° Stereo camera creates a full sense of “presence” when viewing the images with a VR viewer.Here’s a sample list of projects you can view in VR:
You can use the VR 360° Stereo camera to produce images for marketing projects, client approval, design review and more. All of Design 3D CX’s photo-real rendering technology can be used in producing VR images – so let your imagination run wild. You can get VR viewers for yourself and clients here.
