360 Spaces<\/span><\/h1>

Using a 360° as a background requires a space created using the 360 template.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

The width\/height ratio for correctly formatted 360 media is <\/span>2:1<\/span>, so <\/span>an image 2000px wide will need to be 1000px high to be correctly mapped. If your image is smaller, it is recommended to “pad” it with an appropriate color at the top or bottom, as opposed to changing it lengthwise.<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/table>

<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

The space will be created with a completely white background.<\/span><\/p>

360 Multiuser or Single-user Experience<\/span><\/h2>

By default the 360 template is setup for multiuser experiences. The <\/span>Virtual meeting room<\/span> setting is on by default in the dashboard settings for the 360 space.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

Multiuser 360 experiences allows participants to see and communicate with each other in the same 360 space. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

Multiuser 360 video experiences also allow the use or video synchronization enabling presenters to control <\/span>360 synchronized video playback<\/span> for all participants.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

The hotspots are configured to allow minimal movement to minimize apparent discrepancies of 3D avatar scale vs 360 background. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

The 360 template uses <\/span>avatar heads or bust <\/span>rather than avatars with legs to further avoid discrepancies of scale. You can enable full body avatars in the space settings if you wish.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

Single-User (Self-paced) Configuration<\/span><\/h3>

For a single-user experience<\/span><\/p>

  1. Uncheck <\/span>Virtual meeting room

    2. Save<\/span><\/li><\/ol>
      1. Enter the space <\/span><\/li><\/ol>
        1. Set the Spawn hotspot > <\/span>Spawn radius<\/span> to <\/span>0<\/span> (zero)
          <\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/li>
        2. Uncheck the alternative navigation hotspots <\/span>Active <\/span>field to off (or alternatively delete them if you will not be using bots in the space)
          <\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>

          Setting the 360 Image or Video<\/span><\/h2>

          Have a web link (URL) to a 360 image (.jpg) or 360 video (.mp4) or 360 streaming video (.m3u8) ready.<\/span><\/p>

          <\/span><\/p>

          1. Access the space<\/span><\/li>
          2. Click the <\/span>Pencil+ icon <\/span>in the toolbar (<\/span>\"\"<\/span>)<\/span><\/li>
          3. Choose <\/span>Panorama 360°<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

            <\/span><\/p>

            <\/span><\/p>

            1. In the modal that opens, <\/span>insert the URL<\/span> of your 360<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

              \"\"<\/span><\/p>

              <\/span><\/p>

                <\/span><\/p>

                The 360 will update immediately.<\/span><\/p>

                360 Video Playback Controls<\/span><\/h3>

                360 Video controls appear for all participants. <\/span><\/p>

                360 Initial Viewpoint<\/span><\/h2>

                Change the starting viewpoint of the 360 by adjusting the <\/span>Advanced <\/span>settings <\/span>Y Rotation<\/span> to a value between 0 and 360 degrees.<\/span><\/p>

                <\/span><\/p>

                Most commonly the horizontal rotation is desirable to adjust for the initial view.<\/span><\/p>

                Storage<\/span><\/h3>

                You may upload 360 images as .jpg files to <\/span>https:\/\/storage.learnbrite.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>

                What is the maximum viewable resolution for a 360 photograph?<\/span><\/h3>

                Here at LearnBrite we typically use 8192‬x4096 and 4096×2048 , jpg for spherical panoramas. For cube maps for each face we use 2048px.<\/span><\/p>

                A great answer to this question has been supplied on Reddit<\/span><\/p>

                https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/oculus\/comments\/5ypto4\/what_is_the_maximum_viewable_resolution_for_a_360\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>

                <\/span><\/p>

                The default monocular horizontal FOV of the Rift is 79.55°, the horizontal resolution per eye is 1080 pixels, the render target size is ~1.7 to compensate for distortion, so the render target size per eye is ~1404×1560 and has ~17.6 PPD (pixels\/degree). For the different 360° formats this means :<\/span><\/p>
