Convert your video to VR180
VR180 puts footage that was filmed at 180° or 360° onto a half sphere around you, and adds the depth. You can look around inside it, but only in front of you, not behind you. Filmed on an ordinary camera or phone? Standard 3D is the one you want.
Plays on Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S and Pro, and on Apple Vision Pro.
The free 2 minutes are for flat video. VR180 runs on paid minutes.
You get one file, and both headsets read it
It has the 180 degree metadata written in, so a headset knows each eye holds a half sphere instead of a flat picture standing in front of you. That one file plays on a Quest and on a Vision Pro, so there is nothing to pick between.
How you watch it
- On a Quest: open the browser, go to xclusivevr.com/vr and type your 6-character code.
- Press "Enter VR" and the picture wraps around you.
- On a Vision Pro: download the spatial file and add it to Photos.
- Open Photos on the headset and play it.
The 3D metadata is written into the file itself, so the headset knows each eye gets its own half sphere. Do not re-encode the file before uploading it anywhere, because that strips the metadata out and it plays back flat.
What your source video needs
Footage filmed at 180° or 360°. A 360 camera works: we take the front half, the direction the camera was pointed at when it was stitched. A single 180° lens works too. What you do NOT need is a two-lens VR180 rig, because we create the depth ourselves. Ordinary widescreen video cannot fill a half sphere: it keeps the field of view the camera recorded, so it would sit as a small window with black all around it. For that footage, pick Standard 3D.
Questions people ask
What is the difference with standard 3D?
Standard 3D is a flat screen floating in front of you with depth in it. VR180 puts the picture on a half sphere, so you can turn your head and stay inside the image. Both give you real depth; VR180 surrounds you more.
Do I need a special camera?
You need footage shot at 180° or 360°, so a 360 camera or a 180° lens. What you do not need is a stereoscopic VR180 rig with two lenses: those record depth themselves and need no conversion, and they are far more expensive. A single-lens 360 camera is enough, because we work the depth out from the image.
Does it work on both Quest and Vision Pro?
Yes, and it is one single file. It carries the 180 degree metadata, so a Quest and a Vision Pro both know each eye holds a half sphere. There is nothing to pick between.
