Chromatic abberration correction option/layer

Przemo-c

Using Oculus Go I really like the player it has broader support for videos than built-in player but chromatic aberration on videos is distracting.

When I set adb setprop debug.oculus.forceChroma 1 and start SkyBox everything looks much better and i ran 4k 50Mbit/s 360 video 30fps with no performance issues.

Would it be possible to enable chromatic aberration correction? Preferably just for the video itself not to waste to much computing power on the environment itself? Even just as an option.

Seconded!
Downloaded Skybox on the Oculus Go, and things looks good... but there is clear chromatic aberration. I'm sure it would look amazing with correction on!

SkyNih With forced chromatic aberration correction it looks pretty great.

Hey guys,

We are very sorry for the delayed reply.
Our company just got back from a week long vacation.
As for your request, we definitely will consider adding that option.
However, currently we do not have our hands on an Oculus Go yet. And since each piece of screen will render the same color and brightness quite differently, the aberration could be caused just because of that.
We will try to adjust the color once we get our hands on an Oculus Go.
The correction option will be scheduled later as an advanced feature.

Hi,

In what part of the view do you see the chromatic aberration?
Is it all over the screen or has concentration at the peripheral parts of the display?

Hey guys,

We just updated the Oculus Go version of SKYBOX (0.1.8.2).
The chromatic aberration is fixed.
Please update and check it out :)

I guess they didn't hear us... or are staying suspiciously silent ;]

No worries.

As for chromatic aberration correction, I'm well aware that depending on the location on the screen therefore how much the light needs to be bent by the lens chromatic aberration is different.

However, from what I recall enabling correction is implemented in the Oculus SDK just by setting VRAPI_FRAME_LAYER_FLAG_CHROMATIC_ABERRATION_CORRECTION for the layer that displays the video.
