creating stereo panos from VR strip

[pilzlicht]

hello
i am trying to create a stereopano from a 12stripe vray cubemap, by splitting it to left and right, like described here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11354&p=46689&hilit=VR+Strip#p46651
using the cardboard skin and template with stereo pairs checked, the output shows the same (first) image on both sides. did i miss something in linking or renaming the images, to get a "true" stereo output?

Hi pilzlicht,
Pano2VR does not recognise a single 12 image strip for stereo, only the 6 image strip for one side.
Open your image in Photoshop and split the image so you have two 6 images per strip.
What would be better is what ever software you are using to generate the strip, see if it can output two 6 image strips or even an two Equirectangular images.

hello hopki
thanks for your answer, thats what i already did.
i figuered out what was the problem- i had to reset the limits in the field of view/zoom.
its working now.

but there is a big view flipping problem on my android device (LG G4, mozilla and chrome) when the starring point moves over or under the horizont too fast.
i replaced the pano2vrgyro.js with one i found here in a related post, but that doesn't help.
on iphone it runs ok without horizontal flipping and much smoother.

is there a way to prevent the flipping on my android phone? i don't want to decrease the controller sensitivity much more.

thanks
imke

Hi imke,
Try this one.
It fixed a flipping with Android and Firefox.
Not the same problem but worth a try.

hi hopki
thanks for the file, unfortunately it doesn't work for me either ...
since this is happening on chrome and firefox and it feels like the software rather likes all panos upsidedown, a stupid question:
could a wrong LEFT/RIGHT renaming/"treatment" cause this problem? i splitted the 12x1 cubemap stripe and named the 1. one *panoLEFT.jpg and the 2.*panoRIGHT.jpg, but i guess the VRAY cubemap actually shows the right view first (on the left side)?
sorry for this stupid idea from a VR noob, it just makes me wonder, although the stereoscopic effect works.

cheers imke

Hi,
The stereo pairs was not selected in your project:

This can be found under the HTML tab and the tools button next to the cardboard.gg.
Iv tested on my iPhone 7 an dit works well, I have a Galaxy S7 so will check it out as soon as I can.

oh ok, sorry i forgot to check the stereo pairs in that project. but thats not the problem , also

on iphone it runs ok without horizontal flipping and much smoother.

(see my 2. post)...its an android problem...

Hi,
Yeah, I was testing on all devices and as I had an iPhone 7 in my had I gave it a go.
Testing on the Galaxy S7 I do see some very odd behaviour with the left side, the right side seems ok though.
This was with Chrome and Firefox, but I found the default browser "Internet" not as bad.
I will have a words with the developers about this and if need be bug track.
However I did find deselecting smooth interpolation made a big difference and was much better than with it on.

that would be a good idea i guess

gonna give it a try.
i think force clients to use the default android internetbrowser can't be the solution ...
thanks
