Have you ever seen the Google Lightfields demo? They have a rig they concocted to essentially capture a "volume" of video to allow for the stereoscopic effect in VR AND which then cleverly presents a different combination of the footage it captured based on your precise head position, so it makes up for these distortions. I found it absolutely breathtaking... first time seeing VR for a space that actually made me feel like I was in it. This was A LONG time ago and I suspected I'd be seeing a lot more of that content, but I was... very wrong, it seems.
Your point is completely correct. Even Apple's awesome new stereoscopic 3D short film for the AVP immediately loses what it could be its total awesomeness from this basic fact. The perspective being perfectly fixed will never quite be there to fool our brains so used to dealing with these micro-movements.
- dmarcos 2y agoYeah parallax, reflexions, shadows are as important as stereo. We’ve been always sold that stereo = 3D but it’s just one among many cues that the brain relies on.
- Stevvo 2y agoEach frame was between 200 and 300mb, at a much lower resolution than AVP. The storage and bandwidth required is a bit wild.

- evan_ 2y agoI have seen that, and I came close to buying one of those Lytro light field cameras so many times (but thankfully restrained myself). Light field seemed like a huge obvious "way of the future" thing in the 2010s but with the benefit of hindsight it did not exactly seem to have changed the world.
- fsiefken 2y agoYes, it was awewome, to the Space Shuttle in a museum like that, a Lutheran church and a few other scenes.
