Getting Started & Specs

What types of media does CenarioVR recommend?

CenarioVR supports the use of MP4 video, MP3 audio, PNG, JPG, SVG, GLB, and non-animated GIFimages.

What is an equirectangular image?

An equirectangular image is the term used to describe a spherical image that has been made into a flat object. An example would be a world map or 3D projection of a 360 degree viewpoint.

Do you support 4K video?

Yes. CenarioVR supports 4K video upload.

Always capture your source material in 4K resolution or higher. Remember that 4K resolution is split between multiple lenses and spread over a full 360 degrees, so 4K images and video only give you HD ineach hemisphere. If the resulting video is too large orrequires too much bandwidth (see the compression section below), you can always lower the resolution to HD if the subject matter does not need it (but you can’tgo the other way).

Where can I get a 360 video or image to use?

360 degree video and images can be gathered or captured in a variety of different ways. Common examples include renting or purchasing a 360 degree camera, downloading stock options from a website, or contracting a third party to shoot and produce the videos or images.

How do I begin creating a scenario?

To create a scenario from scratch, you must upload at least one 360 degree video in MP4 format or an equirectangular image that's either PNG or JPG. Be sure to check out our CenarioVR Resources for acomplete list of all the articles and videos regarding CenarioVR.

What formats can I publish to?

Can I grade my scenario?

What kind of analytics can I gather from my scenarios?
