Record VR Gameplay for a 360 degree video

[zeromazaraza]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has a way to record VR gameplay to make a 360 degree video. Not to stream, not to youtube, not to make a 2d one eye video, but something that another person can watch and experience in full VR. I would love to share the full experience with other people. Is there a way to do this?

Hi

Soz for being pedantic but 360 isn't VR, it's 360. So it's like being in the middle of a hollow sphere, with a 2D video being projected and wrapped around the inner shell. You can't move around like you can in VR, you can only look around and watch.

I dont think there is a way to record 3D gameplay in Elite

If you do want 3D movie you can walk through, you might want to consider the free Quill software on the Oculus platform. That allows you to make animations.

I think Google's Tilt Brush has some form of animation but I might be wrong there.

Actually thanks for the correction. What I want is really for a non-player to see what this game is like in VR, which should really be proper VR with viewer choice of perspective not 360 but I think that's a much more difficult ask. Anyway from what I've seen neither appear to be easily doable. Pity, I think this would be a major selling point for anyone with a VR rig. This game is unbelievable in VR.

Would you be present when they see this?

I have 3 accounts. Yeah, I know :/

I also have a second cheap PC that can still run Elite.
I get my guest to run my main account on the VR rig with me in the alt.
I then invite them to multi crew.

I find the Asp is great for this as they have the seat below. It's a great view!
