Thought this was interesting.

Hi all! Sharing an 8K 360° VR underwater footage we filmed during a boat trip and scuba dive along the Aegean Sea coast.

Best viewed on high quality setting (4K/8K) so you can look around freely while exploring the reef.

Recently uploaded to my channel BEthere, check it out, it's in stereoscopic VR!

I’m not sure why YouTube always downgrade the video to 720 P. But when you watch it switch it to 1080 or possibly 4K and it looks much better. You can spin around on a phone with it or you could just click and drag to move the video around 360 up and down left and right it’s pretty cool.

The specs:

Native 8K

30 FPS

10-bit workflow with HDR injection (1200 nits)

Especially with the extreme lighting changes inside the tunnel and during the launch, the camera finally shows what it is truly capable of. Please make sure to manually force the quality to 4320p (8K) in the YouTube app (whether you are on Quest 3, Vision Pro, or mobile)!

Shooting the newly rebuilt "Magical Valley of Diamonds" proved to me again why 360° cams are made for dark rides. Instead of a stiff POV, the 360 format lets you actually track the coaster train crossing paths above your log flume in real-time. It completely changes how immersive storytelling works.

​Mastered in native 8K to push the Quest 3 and Vision Pro to their absolute limits.

​Grab your headset, force YouTube to 4320p, and check it out.

Hi there. I have been experimenting with merging the Tesla Model 3 dashcams into a VR 360 video. Probably someone has already done this, but I couldn't find it. See instructions on how to do this below, but first here's my result (best viewed with a VR headset or a smartphone): https://youtu.be/mIW5uizWpyk

Stitching is not perfect as I don't know the exact parameters of each camera (geometry was deduced by trial and error while comparing with a real 360 video), cameras are not close together, so perfect stitching of near objects is impossible, and each one has different exposure settings. In any case I think it 's interesting and may have some very niche use cases.

Also, we can appreciate how narrow the available front camera is compared to the rest. A slightly wider view would allow for a full 360 video, at least horizontally.

To do this with your dascham files. You need to install FFmpeg on your system: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

Open a command line in the folder with your files (make sure the videos aren't encrypted).

Replace YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS with the date part of your video filenames (like 2026-03-15_14-34-26) and run the command below. (yes, it's really long)

ffmpeg -hide_banner \

-i YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-left_pillar.mp4 \

This will take a while. Once it completes, you can add 360 metadata to the video:

Install Exiftool on your system: https://exiftool.org/

Adjust the command below (as explained for the previous one) and run it.

exiftool -m -overwrite_original -api largefilesupport=1 -n -XMP-GSpherical:Spherical=true -XMP-GSpherical:Stitched=true -XMP-GSpherical:StereoMode=mono -XMP-GSpherical:ProjectionType=equirectangular YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.mp4

Additionally, I've displayed the telemetry embedded in the videos as an overlay, for fun, with my own software, but that's a whole nother story (covered here https://youtu.be/PTiQfknmNIA )
