I have owned the Oculus Go for some months but only recently discovered a couple of apps called Gala360 and Gala Relax and wow, I hadn’t realized how glorious 3D photos/videos looked in VR. In particular there is a 360degree 3D photo of people watching a balloon race in Bristol and it’s quite glorious with a level of detail I have never seen before. There also 3D photos of Ukrainian cosplayers and it almost feels like they are standing in front of you. I have never experienced photos like this and it has made me seriously consider getting a 3d camera myself.

Has anyone else tried this? I assume there are the same or similar apps on all VR systems.
