The Canon EOS VR Utility has many useful functions, but it can take time and effort to try them out and decide whether they are useful for your VR videos. In this short guide, we will provide test video samples that look at the denoise and sharpen tools.
This graph shows the popularity of various VR headsets at DeoVR. Below we'll explore some of the interesting points to take away from this information.
Looking for a safe, private place to store your VR video files? We'll soon be launching a DeoVR cloud drive feature that will play your personal VR files perfectly with DeoVR.
There are many solutions for turning fisheye footage into equirectangular, but none when it comes to the reverse. We've created a tutorial that shows how to convert equirectangular footage into fisheye projection using FFmpeg.

The VR.cam team are an up and coming VR company based in France, made up of an technical team with plenty of experience in live streaming and broadcast. Their aim is to offer good quality VR streaming at an affordable price. This is the follow-up to the previous model, the VR.cam 01 (out of stock), but this new camera is geared more toward the public sector and mainstream entertainment, such as live events, concerts and theatrical productions. Does it succeed?
We are working on a project to modify and improve the Canon RF5.2mm dual fisheye lens. This lens is a key element of the Canon EOS VR ecosystem behind most of the high-grade stereoscopic 180° VR content available today. However, the default 60mm IPD gives scaling issues, making the visuals look less realistic and less immersive. Our goal is to alter this IPD to deliver lifelike visuals with accurate scaling.
Update: We're looking for skilled camera engineers to make Canon RF52 mods in Europe and the States. We will provide the RF52 lens for you to modify and test. High-quality applicants only. Contact ivan@deovr.com if you have the skills to take VR forward!
