Recently bought an Oculus Quest... and it got me thinking.

Are costs low enough that one could film a WAM VR video at a reasonable price?

You intend to make money back by selling it to the subset of customers with VR headset or just for your own enjoyment?

Asking as a customer. It's prob too expensive for one person, so maybe a Gofundme might be more appropriate?

The Insta 360 Evo costs just over £400 in UK. Does 360 or 180 3D there are various demos but it looks good. No messy VR that I've found online but this in Youtube VR shows an actress putting on makeup and gives you a fair idea what a close up face would look like if you were, say, doing a pie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB62OYMF-bQ

So...it could work for a custom then. Give it a few years on file formats. God I remember the hell of the early 2000s and all the damn codecs you needed to play stuff. But now we have VLC

Man, you've got me and Misses wanting to make a VR video now!! That'd be so damn hot.

Ive had 2x 360 fly 4k for years were about £600 when i orginally bought them! Ive often pondered this but the question is where would you put it to get the best view? its either has to be hung upside down or looking up to get the footage. And the render is normally further done by the site you upload it to from the past stuff ive done when i had it in cars. I mean it may have changed recently and things may have got better but its still a tricky one i think

Was referring to VR vids (180, 360), and not just 3D (although that's possible to do in VR as well).

I watched a few 180 VR porn vids, not really my thing, but the immersion is really good. Like when the chick gets in your face, she really gets in your face, it's as if she was in front of you. I'm guessing they have a camera just above the dude or maybe the dude is wearing a camera during VR filming.

Logistically, you would not be able to get the viewer messy... so that's out.

For 180 VR vids, it may be possible where the viewer gets the perspective of a close-in viewer. That means the viewer watch the WAM video, with the option to look around a bit. May be good for tit-and-tat between 2 models, since now you don't have the "shit... move the camera back to position X" problem, as the viewer can just look at where it is most interesting to him.

It would be really cool if filming a "3D reconstruction" of a scene would be possible. That means you would watch the video in VR, but it would be 3D, in the sense that you could walk around the person getting WAMmed, so the feet people can go down and ogle the feet, the face people like me would like to see the face hits, etc.
