Sloths in Panama in VR 3D-180

In February, I accompanied sloth scientist Dr. Bryson Voirin to Panama in search of sloths. Armed with a stereoscopic 180 camera and an ambisonic audio recorder, my goal was to capture footage of sloths in the most immersive way possible. The result is a short video that includes footage nearly 100′ up a fig tree and makes you feel like you’re exploring the rainforest right next to Dr. Voirin. The video is viewable in Oculus Quest and Go by clicking through and selecting “Save to VR”.

If you want to see this video in the best quality possible, you can download the file and sideload it into your Oculus Quest or Go. This version of the file uses higher-order spatial audio, which can be played back using the built-in Gallery app.
