Walking through the streets of Florence, Italy was absolutely magical. I feel so deeply honored to share these moments with you. Renaissance Italian art inspires me with every fiber of my soul. I hope you feel the same when you watch the Immersive Florence VR180 Tour 💘

[@saintjacques8137]

Hi, thank you so much for the video. Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's obsessed with Medieval Italy in ultra-depth I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series. Keep up with the amazing work! Love, Jacques

[@hughhou]

Thanks for the info!

[@alanm8264]

So cool

[@hughhou]

Thank you!!

[@atwosesa]

Very nice video. With meta quest is almost like I am there again. Please keep with this videos. Vr traveling will be a biggeer thing in the future.

[@hughhou]

I am so glad you think so! We have more to come on this series and we are working on our Taiwan series now!

[@YGershteyn]

Thank you. It's nice to be back in Florence again. 3D video allows me to feel like I’m on the street of this city, to visit a cathedral that I didn’t get to, and to look at some details that I didn’t have time to notice in the past. Thanks to Keeley for her calm comment. I myself lack such speech for my videos.

[@hughhou]

Thank you!!!!

[@user-zb1hs3mu7q]

Great job!!!

[@hughhou]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@metalive3d]

Great Video, good job

[@hughhou]

Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Hugh Hou. I was moved by the video content you made, but I'm really curious about how you shot VR180 in the sky. Did you say that the EOS R5 was tied to the drone? I'm really curious about how you did it.

[@hughhou]

I will make a tutorial soon. Thank you so so much!

[@tshuxeng5267]

for anyone using canon dual fisheye lens, what resolution do you use when rendering final footage and uploading it to youtube? how did you get youtube to recognize 8k?

[@hughhou]

I use 8192 x 4096 8K. If you upload 8K, KZbin will read 8K. Follow my other VR180 tutorials on the channel 🙏🏼

[@tshuxeng5267]

how do you get the video to play like this instead of the red and original color?

[@hughhou]

It’s VR180. I have ton of tutorials on this channel.

[@tshuxeng5267]

link to the video?

[@CraigTooms]

Nice work, looks real good. I have a question, when looking up I noticed the image is wavy as the camera dollies (or just moves). You can see it at 4:19 when you look at the ceiling. Is this some artifact from watching on a computer with youtube?

[@hughhou]

Yes that is a KZbin projection error - on EAC. You won't see it on Meta Quest TV or Vision Pro

[@atwosesa]

​​​@@hughhou Thank you. I will try with meta quest tv then.

[@SAINTLUCIA360]

why go back to 180 when there is 360 video already?

[@hughhou]

B/c this is 8K 3D - so if you watch this inside Meta Quest 3 or Apple Vision Pro, you see depth. 1000X time more immersive :) 3D 360 camera to match this level will cost $40K and the size of basketball (or bigger)

[@TonyLightTravels]

Are we supposed to watch this in VR ?

[@hughhou]

Yes! In Meta Quest TV (coming soon - take Meta forever to approved release) or on KZbin VR. This also available as download in MV-HEVC for Apple Vision Pro in both immersive 180 and Spatial Video format :)

[@TonyLightTravels]

@hughhou Kool, you do really nice content!!
