The montage is well done and looks good in 3D VR (👍), but I don't think you'll find many people watching it if you don't explain step by step what needs to be done for it to be seen (in 8K/4K 180* 3D VR mode).

Those who have HMD devices for 3D VR know what needs to be done, each for their type of device, but the vast mass of amateurs I don't think know how it can be viewed.

Thank you. I think you are correct most people without knowledge of HMD devices, mostly those who own them, will not know how to best view the video. They will get the ability to move around the frame in 2D, but that is a small benefit relative to what you a see with a headset.

But I am not sure I am the one best equipped to provide all of the information people need.

How do you see your own 3D productions?

I think it would be good if you could provide at least one way for someone to view such films.

For most of the population it is a big problem to view even simple 3D material (SBS 3D pictures) if they don't have a 3D TV.

..................................................

I give you two examples.
For online activities, I use Linux OS. It is not easy to find a 3D VR player for Linux.
Without using an HMD device, I can watch your movies on a normal screen using the sView 3D VR video player.

For full screen, I can use the anaglyphic Red-Blue glasses (first image attached).
For natural colors, the player can be set to play 3D content in parallel format (SBS), for cross-viewing (second image attached).

For this, the video must be downloaded from YouTube!

For Windows, the GoPro VR Player 360° can probably be used successfully, but I haven't tested it for the limited 180° 3D VR format!

These videos are best viewed in VR headsets using a YouTube app. Oculus Quest, for example. Then you get full color, 4K resolution, the ability to look around, and 3D. They are not meant for 3D TVs.
