VR for the win?

[Tim Sewell]

Last night I (solipsistically) spent a while watching my own videos via our Quest 3 VR goggles in 'cinema mode' and I must admit, seeing things on a virtual 20 foot screen certainly makes them look better! Any other forum users been doing this?

But it got me to thinking - a great use of this technology would be if you could link it in to a Teradeck or whatever so that Directors and DPs could see, in real time, how a given scene or shot will look on the big screen. Is anyone doing this, or am I being silly?

I don't know anything but in the last Media division S1 II review they showed a goggles linked to the camera used as a monitor or something like that.

I'll have to take a look at that!

I don't have VR goggles, but I do have a 77" TV that's in my dark basement and I usually sit about 8-10 feet from it.  I scooch up a bit closer when I want to preview how something will look on a big theatrical screen from 30-40 feet away.  If I really want the full experience, though, I'll ask a friend to come chew popcorn and talk while I'm trying to watch it.  😉
