CINEVEO bug fix #2 update for HTC Vive released!

We believe that some of the issues user experience with the Vive are related to the way CINEVEO is launched through the Steam client. We made some changes to the launch options in the Steam client, which hopefully will solve some of these issues.

What is new:

- If you have the SteamVR client running, the blue play button in the Steam client should now say "PLAY IN VR" instead of "PLAY".

- When you launch one of CINEVEO themes in the launch options list, it will now say "CINEVEO - Virtual Reality Cinema" in the little SteamVR window instead of "Unresponsive".

- After launching the app you can now see the SteamVR dashboard and the CINEVEO connects to the Steam Community.

- Play time is finally being counted in every cinema theme !!!

- We also made sure that CINEVEO is launched at 64 Bit instead of 32 Bit, which hopefully removes the crashing issue for some.

CINEVEO bug fix #1 update for HTC Vive released!

Some HTC Vive users have reported CINEVEO crashing for them or the Vive head tracking becoming unresponsive when they enter the cinema. This issue was caused by a conflict with the integrated Vive camera and the webcam display in the cinema.

The bug fix #1 update disables the webcam display by default to prevent this conflict. To activate the webcam display without causing conflicts, attach an external USB webcam to your PC and press the [ W ] keyboard key anytime when you are in the cinema.

CINEVEO v1.9.1 update adds Consumer Rift and Oculus SDK v1.3 support

We are excited to announce the release of the CINEVEO v1.9.1 update for the Oculus Rift. This update includes the amazing 4D Movie Theater v4.0 and The Void v3.0 cinema themes with Consumer Rift support.

WHAT'S NEW IN V1.9.1?



This release adds the 4D Movie Theater v4.0

• The 4D Movie Theater has been updated with Oculus v1.3 SDK and Consumer Rift support. It also works great with the DK2.

• We created an innovative new dynamic lighting technique (CINEVEO’s Stereo PFOV Lighting), which creates an intense atmosphere inside the movie theater using light, colors, reflections and shadows. This effect can be seen especially well during action scenes with a lot of screen flashing (explosions, fire, etc.). The best position to see this effect is the last row of the movie theater, with the theater walls partially visible in the peripheral field of vision.

• Lots of graphics enhancements.

• Improved sense of scale, depth and immersion. Sitting in the 4D Movie Theater feels so real, it’s almost scary.

• Enhancements to multiplayer audience. CINEVEO users can now see other users from both the Android Cardboard and Oculus Rift version of CINEVEO sit around in the movie theater.

• Improved contrast and color saturation. Since the black smearing issue has been partially fixed in the consumer rift, we have decided to disable the black smearing correction. Now black is 100% black and colors appear more saturated. However, there is now a bit of black smearing in the DK2.

This release adds The Void v3.0 cinema theme

• The Void cinema theme has been updated with Oculus v1.3 SDK andConsumer Rift support. It also works great with the DK2.

• Added CINEVEO’s new ULTRA - 3D mode. This new mode enhances the perceived depth and immersion of any 3D SBS or Over / Under movie to such a degree, that you feel as if you are literally inside the movie! An amazing new way to experience 3D movies. ULTRA - 3D works best with 3D videos in UHD (4K) resolution.

How to watch a 3D movie in ULTRA - 3D?
Play a 3D video file, preferably in UHD (4K) resolution, in The Void v3.0 cinema theme. Choose the curved cinema screen and then enlarge the cinema screen with the (PageUp) key so much that you can no longer see the edges of the cinema screen when you look at the center of it. You will notice that with every PageUp key press, you emerge more and more into the movie. Welcome to ULTRA - 3D!

• Added support for users with vision impairment. These users now have the option to make the cinema screen extremely large, which helps them make out the details in a video.

FREE BONUS!!! This release also adds CINEVEO for Android Cardboard



• CINEVEO STEAM users now have free access to the full version of CINEVEO for Android Cardboard. The Android APK's are in the CINEVEO installation directory. Three VR Cinemas are available for Android; The 4D Movie Theater, The 1960s Drive-in Movie Theater and the Ocean Theater.
