I recorded the April 8th 2024 total solar eclipse in 8K 180 3D virtual reality. It is almost like being there. I also added some close up video and photos for interest. #ChrisOwenHalper #2024eclipse #solareclipse #totality #astronomy
Please upload an alternate version without the additional windows, that would be so great. This is already really awesome but the added windows break immersion so badly for me.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the suggestion. It was not my original plan to add the picture-in-picture effect. I should have adjusted the exposure during recording to more accurately reflect the experience of being there. The human eye still sees a surreal light and 360 degree sunset effect. Since I did not adjust the camera, the VR footage is just 3-minutes of black that I think would be too boring for an audience to sit through. Before I consider uploading another version of this, I have two other solar eclipse videos on my channel. Take a look. I hope that may satisfy your immersion experience.

Hello and thanks for tuning in. If you are watching in a VR headset, the entire eclipse and experience was recorded in 180 degree 3D video. If you look up, you can see the sun as if you were there. I added the close up of the sun to make it more interesting. However, you can ignore that and look up in the sky to see the eclipse.
@@ChrisOwenHalper I see, so I assume the picture was there just to show in the video. I sort of visualized that you would be looking up at the sun and around like a person would see while watching a VR game, but probably an oversight on my part.
@@drde4010 You are not wrong. You can look around. I was just worried that people would get bored during the 3-minutes of black (except for the small eclipse in the sky). I added other photo and video I took for a 'closer' look. What device are you watching on. Did you use your mouse on computer to move the image? Or tilt your mobile phone to look around?
@@drde4010 I've never tried the PSVR but have heard good things. Can you watch RU-vid VR videos on the PSVR? I hope you can try that and enjoy the video.
