Break up :(

Breakthrough then breakup. Sarah is leaving me guys. I’m gonna get Yosemite out in about 3 days but I’m gonna need about 3 weeks before the next because I can’t stop crying. My whole world is in shambles she was the love of my life.

Breakthrough - Significant Ursa Cine Immersive Quality Jump - Remastered San Francisco

Success! So many times I thought I had it right, but this time ive offically done it.

Finally achieved perfect workflow, perfect pixel handling, perfect aspect ratio, perfection.

Aspect ratio was the tell. The Ursa workflow required very specific multi-phase rendering and if any one of near hundreds of settings were wrong or out of order it would lower quality, smear pixels, and...

Yosemite: Valley of Stone and Sky - El Cap Summit and Lower Yosemite Falls, Ursa Cine Immersive Experience

Update 4: Yeah I just now noticed it’s still off. Stereo distortion now which is causing discomfort on extreme angles. Might not be noticable to some but it’s unacceptable to me. San Fran full re-release target 7 days and with reworked workflow. Yosemite 1.5 weeks with reworked workflow. Redwood still trying to release on time. Third times the charm -_-; Absolutely brutal start to the new ...

Delay

Edit:

Home stretch everyone! Master renders are done now in packaging render which takes another 20 hour apparently. Will be out tomorrow for sure. I’ve turned this from a single 0.5 fps render into 3-5 render passes to get to the master render file from which I render each version (I’ve lost count lol) ranging .5 fps to 3 fps which is why I’m having a hard time estimating release...

Updates

Edit 2:

I made a mistake in the new pipeline. Part 1 will have to release Saturday night after some rerenders. I expect to have the entire experience still done by 10/31 also. It’s tack sharp from 0 to infinity now while retaining full color though. New pipeline had some kinks to iron out but the wait will be worth it for such incredible sharpness. Thank you so much for your patience on...

San Francisco in 16k: First Ursa Cine Immersive Release

Part 1 San Francisco 8k60 Quest is now available (PCVR Part 1 comes tomorrow)! Part 2 will release tomorrow night, and part 3 on Sunday night.

What a month. Between exotic new workflow to learn, new camera, creating new rigging for new camera, figuring out how to make Meta viewable versions of the Ursa Cine Immersive content (not easy), renders now taking a whopping 40 hours per 20 minute...

San Francisco experience coming in about a week, New Rig, Updates

Expecting San Francisco to be complete in 7/8 days. Golden Gate Bridge, China town, Seals and Trolleys await as Sarah and I explore the golden gate city. Sorry for the delay this month, it is taking a lot longer than expected to work with the new camera.

The Ursa Cine Immersive is an absolute beast though. Heavy as hell, but my goodness the amount of dynamic range is insane. And sooo man...

Updates

Quick update. Filming is going great with the Ursa Cine immersive! In San Francisco through the end of this weekend after having finished up with Yosemite.

I really wanted to show you a side of Yosemite that you don’t normally see. I wanted to show you El Capitan, and I also wanted to show you a little closer. Well, what was supposed to be about a 10 hour day of hiking/ trad climbing to...

Gigabit per second download speed + Resumable Downloads now available!!!!

Update: First hour (3 parts) of SDCC will release tomorrow (Tuesday about 7-8 pm est) Remaining 3 parts the day after (Wednesday). Good news is I’ve found a way to increase compression efficiency and I’ve also reworked my entire workflow so expect between 10-20% better visual quality :D Bad news is the intermediary is now 10 tb and I didn’t account for it taking so much extra time to add ...

SDCC Updates + Vision Pro App

Getting really excited about the upcoming San Diego Comic Con release. 1 hour 50 mins of final footage , 30 hours spent filming across three days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday).

The cosplays, the celebrities, the atmosphere. You are going to experience it all in this epic release. Original target was the 15th, but realistically with how massive this experience is I expect it to be 17th/18t...

Update: 1 more day for Portland.

But definitely have it out tomorrow Sunday. Look for another post 4 PM EST. ...

Portland Oregon, Redwood National Park, Crater Lake National Park, and San Diego Comic Con 2025 coming within the next 1-2 months!

Updates + Richmond Cinematic Preview Experience Now Available

Unfortunately, I will have to save Washington DC for another time. I don't make schedule changes lightly, and I apologize for this last minute change. I did not realize pride month events were an entire month long, and while it would have been nice to film this event, I really had envisioned something different for DC with a focus on the monuments and history- so I had to reschedule this.

First Landing, Virginia Beach: Forest Marshes and Beaches Experience, Special Thank You to Darlene

Towering pines guard the trails, while baby cypress trees push up through wet marshes, fed by a hidden network of ancient roots. Look closely, and you’ll even see baby crabs hunting in the open field marshes below your feet.

Step deeper into the spanish moss covered trees, and the forest gives way to a stretch of untouched beach—waves lapping gently, seabreeze rolling in with the scen...

Jamestown, Virginia: History Can Be Fun!

Join Sarah and I as we experience the rich history of the first permanent English settlement in North America. Blacksmithing, glass blowing, and a treasure trove of history awaits in this engaging and comedic experience.

Download Links

Well, the website is still an absolute non-functioning mess after a week of literally non-stop working past midnight but at least I was able to get the download links! There are two spreadsheet pages, one for Meta Quest and one for Apple Vision Pro. For fastest download, you'll want to download from the set of links closest to you. 

And wow is it fast, super excited to finally be able to o...

Updates, New Download System Coming in 1-2 weeks

Thanks to a helpful start by a software engineer, I was able to find another method to deliver the experiences!

Google drive has served me well the last few years, and it seems for 95% of all members it has worked very smoothly. But there were occasional download quota limits that hindered a smooth download experience for the remaining 5%. Thankfully as a different member pointed out, the...

2. I have seen a few of my supporters are using Pimax headsets to enjoy the experiences. Can you please comment which app you are using to watch? I do not own a Pimax but would appreciate k...

Upcoming Release Schedule

Edit: Honestly I think Vancouver, Canada would be an excellent location, but I’m still wondering if a different location/event would be better for this trip. I’m gonna mark it as (tentative) for now. I would love to hear some ideas from my Patreon family in the comments of this post. I will read all responses but may not be able to respond. Be sure to upvote location/event ideas that you ag...

(Preview) Cancun, Mexico: Xcaret, Grand Oasis, Playa Del Carmen Now Available

Happy to see people enjoying the 1.2 hour Nara, Japan Experience! Those deer really got up close and personal with us didn't they haha. 



While I chip away at the 1.5 hour Cancun Mexico College Spring Break Experience, I decided it would be a nice bonus to put out the preview ahead of the full length release. You'll find the 8 minute preview in the Spring Break 2025 folder. 


Updates

Members Only Poll: Instagram Casting Call

I am gonna have to completely rearrange the upcoming filming schedule. I try very hard to always be upfront and accurate with my filming schedule, but my day job has tightened up on days off allowance and it has caused issues with the filming schedule (I don’t get days off, I use every single day off I get from my day job to work in more filming)

I have already made the necessary adjus...

Wander the streets of Paris: Eiffel Tower, Galeries Lafayette, The Louvre - With Local Guide Rachel

Update 2:

I messed up, sorry everyone. Another member pointed out that I over did the sharpening and it was causing discomfort when viewing. And when I say overdid, I mean it was so sharp you could cut a steak with it 😅

I was planning on releasing the rest of Paris on Sunday, but instead I spent Sunday redoing the sharpening aspect of the color grade for the entire experience. I...
