Today, I am going to point out a major stereoscopic 3D issue in the brand new Insta360 EVO.
This issue is causing discomfort when watching in VR headset.
Vuze XR also had this issue.
But lucky for Vuze XR users, they fixed it in the latest software update.
If you already purchased Insta360 EVO for VR180 - don't worry.
Your Boi Hugh here will teach you how to solve it and get comfortable VR180 in VR headset
that does not lead to cross eyes.
Hey, what's up, everybody.
It is your Boi Hugh here from CreatorUp.
I am in the process of making an ultimate VR180 camera comparison video - which is coming
up next.
And I discovered a serious 3D problem of the Insta360 EVO.
So I stop everything and want to let you know.
Because I truly care about you.
Today is May 2nd, 2019.
Insta360 EVO, in the current firmware, does NOT have the best 3D.
Here is why.
As you see here, this is the anaglyph view of the Insta360 EVO footage shot at my studio.
Pay attention to the furthest object in the scene - which is this metal looking thing
- it still has a great amount of stereo disparity, which is not right.
Take a look at Kandao Qoocam at the same shot, the stereo disparity is a lot less.
In stereoscopic principle, objects in the infinite distance should have NO stereo disparity.
The camera or the stitching software is supposed to calibrate based on scene instead of a set
value.
My studio is small, but let's take a look at this shot.
This is captured in Comic-Con 2019.
As you see the Shazam poster in the far distance - which is the infinite distance point - but
still has a clear disparity.
This will make the foreground object has too much disparity, and lead to cross eyes and
discomfort in VR headset.
If you look back at my studio shot in your VR headset, this focus chart will cause you
to cross your eyes.
Let's take a look at Vuze XR - which is another popular VR 180 camera.
Before the latest software update, you also see a great disparity for objects in the furthest
distance.
I restitch the same take with the latest software.
I fixed it.
So I highly recommend Vuze XR owners to restitch your old video to get a better stereoscopic
result.
So how to fix the Insta360 EVO footage?
I am glad you ask.
Well, in the ideal scenario, Insta360 EVO should have a software that can re-calibrate
the stitch that based on scene instead of a set value.
But to be 100% honest to you, no camera stock software will do a good job on scene based
calibration - this including the Z Cam WonderStitch or the Google VR180 creator tool.
So to control the disparity of your practical shots, it is better to use a dedicated stitching
software like Mistika VR
Thank you for watching this video.
If you don't want to purchase extra stitching software like Mistika VR, you should like

So more people can see this and I can use the power of this community to push hardware
manufacturer like Insta360 to improve their software.
Fewer people see this title, and more people aware of the problem, it def help you to get
the fix sooner.
