YouTube Now Supports 8K 360° & 180° 3D Videos On Quest 3

Upload VR

The YouTube app on Quest 3 now supports 8K videos, including immersive 360° & 180°. At 8K, 2D 360° videos have enough pixels to almost match the Quest 3's display angular resolution, and 2D 180° videos will far exceed it. For 3D content, 8K 180° videos almost match Quest 3's display but 360° videos would still be far below.

The Future of eLearning in 2022: A Sensitive Eye for Authentic Translation and Localization

Speaker: Chris Paxton McMillin, President of D3 Training Solutions

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Google Introduces 8K Streaming on Meta Quest

XR Today - Mixed Reality tag

Recently, Google released an update to its Quest 3 YouTube application, which allows users to stream 8K videos to their Meta Quest 3 – at least in theory. Despite the update, Quest 3 headsets cannot stream up to 8K video, as the device’s quality is capped at 4K. This means that the YouTube update could be experimental, as new headsets are due this year from various vendors; Google may be testing 8K to prep themselves for 8K streaming on devices from Meta and others.
