Sorry i’ve never played with VR before, so im pretty newbie in this field 
i’ve seen some interactive videos on youtube. Some of them powered by unreal engine 4 and the question is… how is this even working? Do i need plugins or something like that? Can anyone give me simple step by step explanation like prepare your content then enable that plugin and render out your blah blah haha. My mobile phone doesn’t support those videos. Then they showed up like HDRI panoramic videos, so i thought its prerendered videso made in ue4.
Thank you.
Do you have a link to the videos? AFAIK, VR doesn’t work in HTML5 yet, unless it has a work around.
I know google stated that YTVR was an objective for them though.
I think he’s talking about 360 deg videos.
I guess its your right. 360 Deg videos! Tell me its just 360 prerendered video.
If yes i can do whatever i want right? Without users hardware limit.
Yes it’s pre-rendered, just like a photosphere.
Interesting videos. I will need to check them out when I get home tonight as to see if they are able to use HMD tracking for input rather than WASD keys. I also see the K&L are going to release a couple of plugins for UE4 that will help, a 360 video exporter plugin as well as an alembic plugin. No news yet of release date for them, but I will most definitely be following them.
Holy… this will change lot of things! holy hell!
@SaviorNT if there is anything to read and subscribe please give me a link xD I want to know everything about this 360 degree videos. Its actually very very interesting.
By the way i also read about hardware limits because it uses Galaxy Edge VR plugin. Is it true?
Can’t really give you exact links, just look up 360 video on google. As of now, everything seems to be “in development” as far as cameras / plugins go.
There are home brew solutions, which I expect these YT videos came from. As far as UE4 rendering goes, I could possibly research it more, but I am at work atm.
i think i found the solution.Setting up Unreal Engine 4 for 360 Panoramic Rendering - YouTube here is forum link.
360 Panoramic Export Pipeline - Released Projects - Unreal Engine Forums
On Google IO they annouced they will support stereoscopic 360 videos, which will be true VR videos (current 360 videos would be flat in VR)

360 videos are normal videos, just made of sphrical images like those
And as any other spherical images it can be projected on 360 sphere
