Before the bubble era, Osaka was hardly the kind of city that attracted tourists. However, following its post-bubble decline, the infrastructure … Read more
Click here to watch8k Slideshow(for Quest2/3) When shooting VR with two cameras, synchronization is always the biggest hurdle. Some enthusiasts modify camera firmware to achieve perfect sync, but I felt that was too much effort for personal use, so I built my own remote sync switch. Since it’s a mechanical switch, there is a sync … Read more
Click here to watch8k Slideshow(for Quest2/3) Why do I use standard mirrorless cameras to take VR180 photos? The primary reason is resolution. Even affordable modern cameras now boast a resolution of around 7,000 dots diagonally, allowing me to create ultra-high-definition 14K VR180 images. On top of that, they can be purchased for a fraction of … Read more
Click here to watch8k Slideshow(for Quest2/3) VR is also highly compatible with drones. By capturing footage for the left and right eyes using two drones and merging them, you can create a “miniature effect” of the landscape.

Click here to watch8k Slideshow(for Quest2/3) By its very nature, stereoscopic VR photography essentially requires a dedicated image conversion app. While specialized VR cameras come with their own software, that isn’t the case when you’re shooting with standard cameras. Furthermore, even among circular fisheye lenses, every single lens projects an image differently. Those familiar with … Read more
Click here to watch8k Slideshow(for Quest2/3) There was a time when diorama-style photography (tilt-shift photography) became a massive trend. These photos mimic the look of a physical scale model by boosting contrast and saturation while heavily blurring the foreground and background. During the film era, this was achieved using bellows or tilt-shift lenses; later, in … Read more
Click here to watch8k Slideshow(for Quest2/3) When conducting aerial photography for VR, one common issue is insufficient parallax. In other words, because the distance between the left and right cameras is too small relative to the landscape being captured, the resulting image lacks a three-dimensional feel. Because of this, most people opt for 360-degree VR … Read more
