Browser-Based 3D SBS Video Player for VR180/VR360 Content

3D Apps

Hello,

since the Leia LumePad 2 has unfortunately been discontinued, I decided I needed a replacement. Having been impressed by the glasses-free 3D technology, I chose a monitor that also uses Leia’s technology: the Samsung Odyssey 3D G9.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a decent video player that can display 3D videos (especially 180° and 360° VR videos) as SBS videos for the monitor.

Since I’m a web developer, I built a minimalistic web app for this purpose:

You can simply drag and drop a video into your browser and watch it in 3D. All processing happens locally, means no data is transmitted to any servers.

Features:

  • Supports VR180, VR360 and “normal” 3D content

  • Side-by-Side (Full SBS and Half SBS) and Top-Bottom input formats

  • Common video formats supported (MKV, MP4, MOV, etc.)

  • Adjustable convergence / 3D depth

  • Mouse-based view rotation and zoom

  • Auto-detection of video format via Leia filename suffixes (e.g. “_2x1”)

  • Works with glasses-free 3D displays (autostereoscopic), polarized, and active-shutter 3D monitors

Maybe this project is useful for someone here. Suggestions for improvements are welcome!

Note: On Windows, it works best in Chrome and Edge. Firefox has noticeably poor playback performance. I haven’t tested other operating systems.

Many regards,
Jens

Thanks for creating this. I’ll check it out. I’ve been using sView with the Odyssey 3D monitor but it’s always nice to have other options .
