Members Only Poll: Shaping the future of Slice of life VR

Update: I have read and will continue to read all comments through this Sunday. I will try to respond to each comment by this Sunday night also. It’s a mixed bag as I thought lol. In a nutshell, it appears people are enjoying the mix, although some additional voice overs used judiciously would be appreciated, but only sometimes, with priority given to on screen conversation that could also sporadically include some additional background information on the given scene location. Lol yes hugh ...

Strasbourg France Coming Soon, Vision Pro Best Settings

Strasbourg, France Christmas Market Experience is set to release in under a week! This will be followed shortly after by the Paris, France experience!

As the Vision Pro is so new, it is constantly updating and increasing quality. I wanted to make sure all Vision Pro users are watching with the best possible quality for Moon Player.

Dia De Muertos: Mexico City + Mexiquic , Schedule Updates

Part 1 and 2 were released silently on Nov 23. Expect part 3 and 4 to be up by Dec 3. Everyone that held active membership as of Nov 23 will be able to download this experience. As I’ve stated previously, I am now doing silent releases to keep the servers from crashing from too much traffic all at once.

Just know that I will always honor my original release dates, even though technical difficulties or life issues may get in the way sometimes and delay the release of ...

Trip Report: Mexico City and Zion National Park

What a whirlwind of a month it has been so far. I have been working to midnight 7 days a week to keep up with the filming/ release schedule and it is looking like it has paid off big time with how the content is looking.

I am very excited for the release of Dia de Muertos: Mexico City in under 2 weeks. The people, the traditions, the pacing, the lighting, the close ups, the non stop action. I must have watched this experience 20 times by now but it doesn’t get old. From Mexiquic (The...

8k 3D Venice, Italy: Piazza San Marco, Gondolas, and Pasta

First half is ready for download (Parts 1-3)! Second half should be up by tonight/tomorrow.

A significant amount of effort was put into stabilizing the Gondola ride during filming.

You will find the boat will turn under you, but the camera will remain stationary relative to the buildings.

Keep your eyes fixed on the distant buildings if you start to experience motion sickness. I split the parts so that part 2 is only the 12 min Gondola ride so it is easy to avoid if y...

Location Cancellation

Gonna need to cancel the India series. Thailand series and Cancun college spring break are still on the books as of now though! I am already looking for exciting (and cheaper haha) replacement experiences for India :)

Experience selection is heavily dependent on how many members I can retain month to month and I guess I just wasn’t fast enough this last month.

I apologize for the delays. I’m doing my best to keep up output but truthfully the increased workload of including Ai...

8k 3D Florence Italy: Giotto’s Tower, Duomo, Ninos&Friends

Part 1-3 now available on ...

AVP Moon Player Update - Default Settings Adjustments

The latest Vision Pro Moon Player Update Default settings have affected the color grade of the experiences for Vision Pro.

For the best visual experience, turn off “color correction” in the Display settings menu.

Florence, Italy is looking phenomenal and about 1.5 hours long so I am forward to this next release!

Schedule Update + Blackmagic immersive camera

I was hoping to catch up with the schedule given the new stupid long render technique but I ended up getting sick for four days and couldn’t even look at the screen.

I am very grateful for everyone that has decided to keep supporting during this bumpy month. With all these setbacks, I wanted to provide an updated short term release schedule (See below). Rome should be released this Sunday late night.

Your monthly support is not for nothing. Although I still haven’t been able...

8k 3D Tokyo Japan: Shibuya Crossing, Ahkibara, Shinjuku

Light flicker warning ⚠️

—A combination of rolling shutter and the specific electrical frequency used in Japan has made the street lights flicker on and off. This is most apparent in the last half of the video. Deflicker post processing has been used to reduce the effect, but it is still apparent in the final video. If you are photo-sensitive to flickering lights, please avoid watching these parts of the video, or take all necessary precautions.—

I am also using a new Ai ...

8k 3D Honolulu Hawaii: Waikiki Beach

I have also finally overcome the technical setbacks of the YouTube channel memberships, and am happy to announce that it will be open by the end of this month!

Along with the YouTube Channel membership launch, I will begin limiting the max number of Patreon members that can join. The current system of downloading is just not scalable so I have had to make this tough de...

Wow, what a year it has been so far! I never imagined I would still be blessed to continue creating these immersive experiences for an ever-growing audience that have come to love these little slices of life.

My dream is to create the most entertaining immersive travel experiences from all over the world, but as you can imagine it takes a stupid amount of money to travel globally so often.

So even with 530 active members, I am still working 100+ hours a week ...

Trip Report: Japan + New Location Planned for 2024 Schedule

Japan filming was a great success! What a wonderful country filled with beautiful locations and thousands of years of history. I am very excited to begin work on about 14 terabytes of footage :D I read all the public comments on the last post as soon as they came in and loved to read them when they came in but I just didn't have time to respond with the traveling. I'll be responding at some point today! I always respond as I love to hear your thoughts.

As you can imagine, it was extrem...

Trip report - Ft Lauderdale Florida 2024

It was an absolutely insane weekend at Las Olas Beach, Ft Lauderdale Florida - Americas Premier College Spring Break Party Destination. With South Beach Miami "breaking up" with spring break this year, the Ft. Lauderedale beach and bars were packed beyond capacity with spring breakers from far and wide. All drinking and celebrating their week off of school.

This will probably be my most popular experience to date. Cant believe all the amazing scenes I was able to capture. We'll walk th...

8k 3D Roosevelt Island Tram + Park Experience Now Available, Early Access Apple Vision Pro Now Available

1)

The latest episode “(11-2023)RooseveltIslandTramNYC” has just released!

The 1 minute tram ride on the way there was filmed going sideways, so you may want to skip that part if you are prone to motion sickness.

The tram ride on the way back was filmed going forward and is much less likely to cause any motion sickness.

The rest of the episode is smooth sailing.

Mardi Gras New Orleans Episode coming soon and wow does it get wild over there. Non stop partying...
