Space Engine in Immersive 360 Video 

MOAR!

MOAR!

So say we all!

MrJethrohaYou all should buy Space Engine if you haven't a project like SE deserves support more than any other, the educational implications of this software are stunning. It can truly change the perspective of any human being and enlighten one of the sheer infinitesimal position we humans hold in space and time. This program made me look at the world and human life much differently, one no longer has to go to space to get _at least a sense_ of "the Overview effect".

I shit you not, I had the same exact fucking reaction. I couldn't believe it.

is it awesome viewing space engine in that way, or 360 youtube in general?

J rock hi hehehe

J rock it's behind you! (jk)

Random Belle hi xD

Scott Manley oh wow, thank you for the reply! I've been following your channel for a few years. Keep being awesome =)

J rock you my pickle

MuitoDaora I want what you're on.

Eric T Watch Bladerunner :)

Eric T Sugar and coffee

Best monologue evah!

MuitoDaora did you know that Rutger Hauer improvised the last part of that dying speech? He later explained that the "..tears in rain" popped into his head as he was speaking because the scene was set for a light rain but he and Harrison Ford were being flooded by the set rain sprinklers. The expression of amazement on Ford's face was real because he was astounded by Houer's addition to the script. Best sci fi movie from the '80s but don't ever watch any version but the "director's final version".

Markus Space porn. Yes, I love it.

Markus I don't know if you meant litterally or figuratively, but I like both, so have an upvote.

MrTURBOJOHN Wait what?

We Doing This? space porn, literally, or figuratively. Do I really need to explain that.

MrTURBOJOHN I don't like this. Let's talk about normal space stuff. What's your favorite nebula? My favorites are the Carina Nebula and The Eagle Nebula because of The Pillars of Creation.

juurus Perfect profile pic.

juurus Stupid wizard can't hide forever.

SGF Corp. Inc. See!

Thesamurai1999 Seriously tho. It won't be a normal documentary since you will keep the viewer busy while he looks around!

Thesamurai1999 it would be like a tour through space.

Fulufu Imagine cosmos with this.

Check the "VR Video NYC" 360 panorama video! It's about the future of New York! You won't regret

You are of course correct, but it was people in marketing that came up with the name.

Scott Manley Hey Scott, can you make a video on how to actually record your screen in 360 degree mode? Thanks in advance!

Mrunited12 yes this please

Mrunited12 It would A. depend on the game, and B. be controlled by the camera. Theoretically if you could hack a camera in any game you could get a 360 video out of it.

Erik G. NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD! :P

I am your guide, Neil deGrasse Tyson

Haha how funny and original. Your comment made me laugh so hard I started bleeding from all of my bodily orifices and began vomiting my internal organs. my lips tore open at the corners as I grinned and laughed harder and harder and faster and faster. A few minutes in, my head exploded in white light, I now reside in a new plane of existence where all is tranquil and at peace.... You sure are 1 funny chum m8!

SpuderrMon I cant tell if you're mocking me or not lol

Its just the visible universe. Beyond the galaxies of the visible universe, the light has simply not has enough time to travel to earth since the big bang, therefore we won't see them. The light from the galaxies at the edge of the visible universe allow us to travel back in time and see what they looked like nearly fourteen billion years ago.

Thomas Middleditch or just a cubemap ._.

***** No, Scott said that in one of his earlier videos of Space Engine, I trust he knows what he's talking about

Thomas Middleditch sure,that's still a cubemap

***** Yeah, probably

frankisteve you're an idiot.

YouMafia Believe it or not, but some people don't like massive metadata collectors on their computers.

ahenryb1 chrome doesnt collect metadata, google does it directly on the websites using adsense etc. also, what about using chromium?

ahenryb1 Use chromium a community chrome then?

***** the reason google chrome takes alot of ram, is because it is programmed in such a way that it creates a profile with several instances running each line of the code, it then leads into a cascade when I have no idea what I'm saying.

HOLY FUCK

SAME WHEN HE WAS LIKE "You can swipe to turn on mobile" or something like that I was like WOAHHHHHHHHH MAN DIS IZ SICK

Much, much better if you wear a device like Google Cardboard.

My exact reaction upon seeing this XD

Orev IKR OH MY GOD I NEVER KNEW THIS HOLY SHIT

Manly Scott You Rock.

Hoo dini

Orev lol

Brian Eastwood I believe it does in Oculus rift mode, but I can't figure if there's a way to do it in

Scott Manley reading a little it seems the YT 360 doesn't yet support 360 3D though its on the road map. I tried your video in liverift viewer and it looks great on the DK2. This will be the method for future documenting/streaming VR i'd assume.

Scott Manley SE supports many forms of stereoscopic output, it should be compatible with pretty much everything except perhaps active shutter glasses.

Scott Manley it should be in the settings (the same window that has level of detail for planets, lens flares, etc... There should be a drop-down menu where you can choose all the different viewing methods)

WorldOfLag Several of the settings I had to tweak weren't in the UI and were only in config files.

"Hell on cardboard" Weird thing to compare it to, but I agree

Gigabic hell; on cardboard. Better?

Google Cardboard

***** check out my solution up top ^

***** This works just fine on other browsers, it is just Google being Google and nerfing other browsers. If you change the user agent string or run it as an embedded video it works on Firefox and Internet Explorer...

reconrey Oh thanks, didn't know about that.

I have a droid.

Yes 😂

On my android phone there is an option to veiw it in vr via google cardboard.

lyravega That's the point of these videos. They were implemented for the VR in the first place. We just don't have anything besides cardboard and some early dev versions of vr googles.

Penta Nomical , The face of the internet's priorities.

***** I can see this becoming a gimmick. Cardboard, honestly, what are the newer versions of VR headsets going to be called? Potatoes?

Scara and Spud the idea is that it gets vr in front of people who wouldn't otherwise have access. You can download the pattern and cut it out your self, then spend a few dollars on the lenses and magnets. Or spend between $10-$20 to buy a kit with all the parts needed. Maybe a bit gimmicky, but it works. Also gets vr in the hands of those who could create content for it, again, who other wise might not be able to afford, or willing to spend the cash on a full production version of a vr device, such as oculus rift, with out testing on a much cheaper platform first.
