Our VR/MR media experts have compiled detailed walkthroughs in the following areas to give you a comprehensive approach to VR and MR app captures:

These methods require more work and resources, but they have the potential to deliver smooth, quality captures that turn heads and get the attention of your target audience.
  • Post-Production Best Practices: Maintain pristine visual quality during post-production with steps for exporting captures, and find a list of the top features you should add to your app so the VR window on your PC has the highest quality capture.
