FAQ
Which format do I need for my headset?
Nearly every headset plays 180 side-by-side, the most common format. 360 scenes let you look around; top-bottom variants are the same image stacked vertically. The badge on each card tells you what the scene uses.
What does SBS and TB mean?
Side-by-side and top-bottom: how the two eye images are arranged inside the video file. Players and headset browsers handle both automatically.
Is 8K worth it for VR porn?
For close-up 180 scenes, yes - per-eye resolution is what makes VR feel real. If your connection or headset struggles, 4K-5K versions usually exist via the resolution filter.
What is fisheye footage?
Older rigs and some 180 cameras record raw fisheye lenses. Some players can re-project it; otherwise it looks curved at the edges.
