warped flat image in VR...

Hi,
I just got me an oculus, good experience with the projects I've made!
however if i have a flat image in a tour, it appears warped in VR mode. it seems the upper quarter part is ok, but below that i get a vertical stretch. i tried the image in original resolution and also as 2:1 but the result is the same.
any setting to correct this?

Hi, David.

Unfortunately, this is a bug and has been reported.

hi,
aha ok, hope it can be fixed, very much looking forward to a new version!

my workaround for the problem for now is to make a cubeface, spread around some flat pictures in there which then show as intended.

best,
david

I think one workaround for this problem is to use an aspect ratio of 1:1 for all flat images that are to be viewed in VR mode. Putting the images in a square white frame is a way to do this while preserving the images' original proportions. There are quite a few examples of this technique in the following presentation:

David:

Thanks for letting me know about the problem with AdGuard. I wish these services would notify a site when they start raising red flags on it.

GoDaddy is my hosting service and I pay to have their Website Anti-virus service do a daily scan of my content. They aren’t seeing any issues at the moment but I’ll get them to pursue this with the AdGuard folks and get it resolved.

Thanks again!
