HereSphere VR Video Player for Quest 2/Pro/3 supports Handy, Keon, Launch and Passthrough

To contribute with my own annoying support question… Do you have any idea when I’m watching a vid why the distance would drill out? 2D I generally like to watch like it’s an IMAX, and VR, well that should hopefully stay static. It does seem more prevalent in 2D. I defintiely make sure that I’m not mucking about with the controllers. I looked everywhere to see if there’s a setting for that, but no luck so far.

You should be able to adjust menu settings in the User Settings option on the left hand pane. IIRC its in the upper middle of that page.

thanks I’ll take a look at this. I know you can adjust the opacity but haven’t looked further into this. Any idea why I would get this double vision, is it cause the menu is 2d while the image behind is 3d?

In the user settings, you can adjust the menu distance and view arc (size). You might be getting double vision because of depth conflict between the 3D video and the depth of the menu. The depth of the 3D video might look like it should be closer than the menu, but the menu is still on top of the video, so your eyes have issues adjusting. Moving the menu closer should help.

Is it just me or you can’t stream SLR videos through Heresphere anymore?

Yeah, they removed their public DeoVR API from the website to prevent HereSphere from streaming their content. They want SLR users to use DeoVR or the SLR app instead.

amazing will give this a try!

Yup this is pretty fucking stupid of SLR, reading the reddit comments too they’re pretty unaware of how to publicly speak

They are definitely trying to form a monopoly. My hate towards them grows everyday.

Keep making moves to segregate themselves, then go on reddit (or here) and verbally abuse their customers. SLR is a terrible company.

Just like Apple do and few complain about that unfortunately. I don’t like them for that very reason.

That might be a bit harsh. I would rather say that they lack PR skills and when business decisions backlash they don’t handle it well at all due to that. There is a reason for why companies have PR spoke persons, community managers and a customer case management organization. All these roles can put feelings aside and don’t take things personally. It is always harder to communicate when someone criticizes your work or your company.

Possibly, but it’s not like it’s a limited issue, SLR have had community relations issues for years and continue to not change. A better company would realize it’s not good PR and put some measures in place. I get they are a small company without a PR department, but they should at least try and communicate nicer.

I completely agree with you on that.

Thinking of buying your app. However, I find you’ve made it a bit to complex, having additional features etc. is great but it should try to provide the best experience out of the box. It took me awhile to work out the menus were toggles and you could toggle them all off. This wasn’t obvious as if you select advanced from basic it just selects it and unselects the basic. Its not obvious that clicking the advanced again would remove it. Its small things like this that increase the learning curve. The details about using autofocus on 120Hz, all seemed too hard, what does accuracy 10 or 11 mean? I’d suggest some kind of tuning wizard that can cycle through these options so I don’t have to try and understand, or remember these odd settings.

Don’t take this the wrong way, the app seems good but it also looks like a dev designed it, in the old days we called this a 707 screen, ie a lot of dials and too complex. I’m a dev so I know the urge to put all the knobs and dials but in VR, especially video I just want it to work :slight_smile: (lazy I know but hey)

As much as I hate DeoVRs changes they did make a nice clean UI that was easy to navigate without having to read a manual. I’d think about a simple UI and an option to go advanced (though it shouldn’t be necessary; except for special things) if that’s what you want.

Though keep up the good work, likely still going to be a customer :slight_smile:

Is it possible to use this player to stream from the SLR site? And also to play the Naughty America scripts from hard drive (ie the scripts are hosted at handyfeeling.com) ? I’d love an all-in-one solution, I’ve been using SLR app for SLR and Whirlygig for NA, and it’s a bit annoying switching back and forth

See this post:

Naughty America scripts are basically a form of copy protection mechanism so that shouldn’t be possible either.

Ok thanks man. Hopefully one day there’ll be an all in one solution
