• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Virtual Reality or "Hyperframe" video?

VR definitely. Amazing that you can get that 360 view at all, let alone to be able to access it continuously. The hyperframe makes me feel sick to my stomach in places.

Regardless, great work.
 
Yeah, another vote for VR here, despite the poor resolution. I literally hadta stop the hyperframe vid to go throw up, and that occurred again almost immediately I restarted it; so I didn't actually get to see the last half of that one. :opps: Now admittedly, I do have a recognised & massive vestibular dysfunction, but many people have some form of vestibular issue without necessarily being aware of it (pretty much everyone will have had at least 1 'episode' by the time they hit 70 tho!) so as hypurone said, you're gonna make a lot of folks :barf:with the hyperframe vid, unless you are etremely careful with what you make the image to do!! :shocked:



As for the music, you've gotta be careful with that too. Music is very much an individual taste, & what one likes or is maybe prepared to tolerate in order to watch your vid could make another switch it off immediately; so if you want to reach the widest possible range of viewers, your choice of music (or not!?!) will be critical! :lecturef_smilie:

As for me/my choice, unless you're ryding at fixed engine revs for ages, then I'd hafta ask what's wrong with listening to the engine & road noise as you work the Spyder? :thumbup:

Thanks for the feedback.

The VR video is recorded and produced in 4K and uploaded to YouTube in the highest resolution possible. The fact that you're (and others?) are seeing it in such poor resolution has to be a matter of streaming/download speed. Does it clear up after a few seconds or is the entire video poor?

I apologize for your unpleasant response to the Hyperframe video but as you can see from the replies from others, that video is preferred almost as much as the VR (I personally prefer the Hyperframe). So not everyone is going to have the same kind of response as yours to the Hyperframe one so I don't think I shouldn't do them.

As far as the music, no matter what I use, there are folks who are going to like it and folks that are not. So it has to come down to my personal preference. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, but the song I used is not one of my favorite songs by them. However, I thought it was a good fit to that video. Again, that is a personal choice.

As much as I would like to have the engine and road noise on, there is just too much wind noise and it drowns out everything else. For my next one, I have something in mind that might help with that.

Thanks again for the constructive feedback!

.....

The entire video quality remained fairly poor, but I suspect it might be a youtube issue rather than anything else. I've tried watching the VR vid on a number of devices & servers today, including on my son's hi-res all singing all dancing live stream gaming server with massive streaming/download rate, & it still showed pretty poorly on everything.... Son says that's not uncommon with youtube, & since that's what he does for a crust, who am I to argue 'bout that?! :dontknow:

The barfing thing is nothing for you to be apologising about tho, I know it happens & usually get a little warning that I've done too much of something, as I did this time, but I persisted & paid the penalty.... & then went & repeated it! :banghead: They tell me I'd be wonderful in space, it's just gravity that causes all of the problems for me! :shocked:
 
:firstplace: THANK YOU +1 for the VR being able to pan around like a passenger is nice & will be shared with family members that are too scared of bikes to attempt nojoke:clap: nice not just an action camera fixated view. Would be some awesome footage if mounted on a drone or RC plane going through some scenic vistas (where legally allowed) will be looking into as a future camera possibly :thumbup: watching it again I discovered the VR works in pause too if can time it right to something like one of the barns you pass by to get a better view. Cool

Quality on both videos plays well here...…
But there is no comparison as to which is better.. the VR is hands down the better, more watchable, useable video. The Hyper one seems like some annoying effects that most won't watch for very long.

I'll be looking into the
Garmin Virb 360 as I think the VR would be great to run while on trips... won't miss anything that way....
