Now VR videos are more and more popular, most people want to enjoy watching VR videos rather than 2D movies as VR can provide users with the 360°perspective and immersive experience. Have you ever thought about that you may make your own VR videos? How about converting your movies to VR videos by yourselves? Next, let’s see how to do this conversion.
2D Movies VS. VR Videos
What is 2D Movie?
The 2D movie which stands for the two-dimensional movie is familiar to us. When we watch 2D movies, we don’t need any special device or download any special app. Unlike VR videos, 2D movies can’t provide an immersive experience.
What is VR Video?
VR which stands for Virtual reality is a computer technology that uses virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments, sometimes in combination with physical environments or props, to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user’s physical presence in a virtual or imaginary environment. VR systems include transmission of vibrations and other sensations to the user through a game controller or other devices which are known as the haptic system.
In conclusion, VR video is a hot item in recent years, it can meet people’s requirement for immersive experience, but how to Watch VR videos?
How to Watch VR Videos
There are 4 basic options to watch VR videos: an immersive VR headset, a cardboard VR viewer that used a mobile phone, a VR video player, and a web video player.
VR headset: Watching VR videos by a VR headset is the best way as it can offer you 3D version and stereo sound.
VR viewer: Cardboard VR viewer is much cheaper than VR headset but it can still help you experience virtual reality. It works along with the mobile phone.
VR video player: Download a VR video player on your mobile phone, so you can get a VR experience.
Web Video Player: To get a glimpse of a VR video, you can watch “360” videos on Web, but actually, they are not true VR (They are not immersive or 3D).
