Version 0.4 - July 23 2017

by Jeff Glasse

OSVR is an open-source framework for immersive media viewing on iOS devices. While immersive content is often conflated with the emerging platform that is VR, it presents its own unique set of challenges for content producers, and this framework is designed to demystify the technical side of the immersive content production process so producers can focus on what matters - telling compelling stories.

Initially, implementaiton will be focused on handheld viewing, as this will represent the lions share of viewers. As VR hardware proliferates, VR focused viewing options will be added.

This initial build features content captured with the Kogeto Jo camera at 3840x720 resolution.

July 2017 update brings Xcode 9/swift 4 compatibility. October 2016 update brings Xcode 8/swift 3 compatibility.
