The implementation is simple, basically two cameras offset by a distance with a specific 360º projection. The following is an Oculus VR camera implementation built for the Arnold renderer, a Monte-Carlo unidirectional path-tracer developed by Solid Angle. You can get the camera code and binaries from here:

Due to the way the stereoscopic method is used, some artifacts could appear.

Unfortunately, by now, this also has some disadvantages: This increases the potential audience of users that could enjoy the content.Īll of these advantages make videos generated with an offline VR camera to be the easier method to distribute VR content among our audience.

Porting it to WebVR and mobile platforms is easy.

Users would only need modest hardware to run the VR content at a high frame ratio and resolution, and all of them will experience the same quality results independently of their hardware.

Use more complex and realistic scenarios that cannot be achieved with real-time 3D engines.

Leverage assets already created and immediately generate VR experiences.

Extending their work with a VR reality camera that outputs pre-rendered VR videos would have the following benefits: There are already a lot of people generating amazing 2D and 3D content using offline renderers. Thanks a lot to Borja Morales ( for his great help and support. In order to make VR a success, we need to provide the audience the content they eager to see before they lose interest and excitement in this new media. Developers are struggling since there is no standard to generate this VR content and it is not easy to reach all of the potential viewers.

Now that VR headsets are being made available to everyone at affordable prices there is an increasing demand for VR content.
