How to use a pair of Panasonic G7's for 3D video? This might be a manageable solution...(NOPE)

A pair of Panasonic G7's is just too big to set up for normal 3D, the stereo base between two cameras would be too wide.

Even mounted vertically,  the stereo base is too wide. ( I was going to crop the 4K image to (2160x2160)



The possible solution is a right angle scope.  I could use one, or pair and have the two cameras set up in a "opposing" configuration for 3D video.  Stay tuned!

I got the things to play with and nope, it will not work. 
The length (height of each unit makes it impossible to get the lenses close together in an opposing mirror setup. One also has to zoom in quite a bit.  This is a fail and waste of money.

Lenovo Mirage VR180 and the Viture XR One Lite

 The Viture glasses has breathed new life into my Lenovo Mirage Camera as VR180 files can be played on the glasses.  Pretty nice.  One still has to prepare the files with the VR180 studio app though.

Since I've never had a headset and Google Cardboard support was dropped from iOS, the Mirage has been a little used device in my toolbox.






With the Viture Spacewalker app, choose the Media Browser for VR and then select the VR movie for display. 
I Airdropped the file to my iPhone.
It's too bad the resolution is so low, (in addition to the bad sound) but it at least allows me to dip my toes back into VR180.

Note:  My manual method is not necessary if you get JackDesBwa's scripts to convert 3D Webcams into Anaglyph for OBS STUDIO from GitHub ...
