Your Phone is the Engine. Virtara is the Lens. The Cloud is the Studio.
From true 5K per-eye imaging to automated finishing, Visorix streamlines immersive production into one stable workflow.
True 5K Per Eye Capture
5120 x 2880 per eye delivers the detail and depth a flagship immersive camera should.
Ultra Wide VR16 Cinema Camera
Stop stretching your reality. Visorix is a 3D camera platform built on the Ultra Wide VR16 standard. Inspired by legendary panoramic cinema, VR16 ditches the 180 degree fisheye warp to capture a pristine, edge to edge spatial canvas. We put 100% of our dual 5K resolution exactly where your eyes perceive depth.
Automated Production
Visorix automates the heavy lifting behind immersive production by handling crop, alignment, and final mastering in the workflow. You press one button, and we deliver the cinema ready master.
Visorix gives everyday creators the full VR180 stack: an affordable VR180 camera, software that stitches your footage automatically, and a VR app where viewers find and watch immersive video inside their headset. Three pieces, one ecosystem, no rough edges between them.
01 · Camera
From $199
VR180 cameras designed for everyday creators, not studio rigs.
02 · Stitch Software
Auto Stitching
Free Basic tier. Elite and Pro paid for serious workflows.
03 · VR App
Beta 2027
TikTok style discovery for immersive video, inside the headset.
Each product is useful on its own. Together they form a complete creator stack for VR180, capture through viewing, with no jumps between platforms.
01 · What Is VR180?
Forward facing 3D video, made for headsets.
VR180 is its own format. It is not 360 action footage and it is not flat phone video. The clearest way to think about it is a window into the moment, captured in 3D, viewed inside a headset. If you have seen the kind of footage Apple ships as Spatial on Vision Pro or what Quest plays back natively, you already know the feel.
Reference
360 Video
full sphere capture
Viewer pans around the entire scene. Often flat at distance and disorienting in a headset for any length of time. The action camera category. Great for skydiving footage, less so for telling a story.
Reference
Spatial / Phone Video
short stereoscopic clips
Captured from phones. Easy and accessible, but limited depth and a narrow field of view. Fine for quick personal moments, not built for serious headset playback or longer form content.
Visorix Focus
VR180
180° forward facing 3D
Designed to feel like being there. Built for headset playback on Quest, Vision Pro, and other VR players. This is the format Visorix is built around end to end.
02 · The Problem
VR180 creation is broken for everyday creators.
Headsets are getting cheaper. Audiences are growing. But the tools to make VR180 video are still expensive, technical, and fragmented across cameras, software, and platforms. If you have ever tried to actually make a VR180 video and publish it somewhere people will watch it, you already know.
Hardware
Cameras cost too much
$1K to $10K range
Stereoscopic VR cameras commonly run from one thousand to ten thousand dollars. Out of reach for normal creators who just want to make immersive video without taking out a small loan.
Software
Stitching is too technical
complex pro tools
Turning two camera streams into a clean VR180 video means wrestling with complex software no one teaches you to use. The learning curve is the wall most creators bounce off.
Distribution
No native VR home
nowhere to publish
Even when a creator finishes a VR180 video, there is no obvious place to publish or watch it inside a headset. YouTube and TikTok were not built for this.
03 · The Stack
Three products. One ecosystem.
Visorix gives creators what they actually need: an affordable camera, software that stitches automatically, and a VR app to watch and discover. Each piece works on its own. Together they form a complete path from shooting to publishing.
01 · Camera
VR180 Cameras
starting at $199
Affordable VR180 cameras designed for everyday creators. The hardware is the entry point into the ecosystem, not the whole business. MRK77, MRK77-IBIS, and MRK10 all share the same VR16 capture format so footage flows through the same pipeline regardless of which body you shot on.
02 · Stitch Software
Automatic Stitching
Basic free · Elite and Pro paid
Stitch software that takes two camera streams and produces clean VR180 video automatically. Works with Visorix cameras and footage from other VR cameras. Free Basic tier removes the friction. Elite adds faster processing and creator workflow features. Pro adds commercial export, batch processing, and priority queue.
03 · VR App
VR Video App
beta in 2027
TikTok style discovery for immersive VR video. The headset native home where creators publish and viewers find and watch. Built for the headset experience first, not as a side mode of a flat video site. Beta in 2027.
04 · The Workflow
Four steps. No rough edges.
Today VR180 creation is a multi tool, multi format, multi platform mess. Visorix collapses it into one path a creator can finish in an afternoon. Shoot, stitch, upload, watch.
STEP 01
Capture
Shoot with your Visorix VR180 camera. Same VR16 format across the whole lineup.
STEP 02
Stitch
Software stitches and exports automatically. No manual seam work, no per shot calibration.
STEP 03
Upload
Publish straight to the Visorix VR app. One destination, headset native, no transcoding gymnastics.
STEP 04
Watch
Viewers discover and watch inside their headset. Built for Quest 3, Quest 2, and Vision Pro playback.
The point is that none of these four steps should require you to learn a different tool, format, or platform. Visorix is the path from shooting your moment to someone else feeling like they were there.
Part Two · Deeper Dive
Why VR16 Ultra-Wide
Every Visorix camera captures in a format we call VR16 Ultra-Wide. Why does that matter to you as a creator? Because the format you shoot on decides how much real detail you keep and how the viewer ends up experiencing your work in the headset. Most VR cameras use fisheye glass. We do not. Here is why.
VR16
Format Name
95°
Horizontal FOV
16mm
Full Frame Equivalent
16:9
Aspect Ratio
VR16 is named for its equivalence to a 16mm ultra-wide prime lens on a 35mm full frame camera. 95 degrees of horizontal field of view, rectilinear geometry, shot native in 16:9.
Standard Capture Format · Entire Visorix Lineup
MRK77
·
MRK77-IBIS
·
MRK10
Every Visorix camera captures in VR16. Same format across the whole lineup, same Virtara playback stack, same viewer choice of projection.
05 · The Fisheye Tradeoff
Two ways to fit a round image onto a rectangular sensor. Both lose.
Zoomed In
Full Coverage Fisheye
image circle > sensor
Crop the fisheye image circle so the green sensor area is fully covered. You use every pixel, but the curved edges of the lens view extend past the sensor. Everything at the far left and far right of the scene is thrown away.
sensor used
lens coverage
discarded view
Zoomed Out
Circular / Partial Fisheye
image circle < sensor
Shrink the image circle inside the sensor and the whole lens view is preserved. But now huge swaths of the sensor record nothing but black. On a 48 MP sensor, that can mean tens of millions of pixels doing zero work.

dead pixels
The Visorix Choice
VR16 Ultra-Wide
95° HFOV · rectilinear · frame == sensor
Every sensor pixel records scene data. No lateral crop, no black ring, no wasted silicon. You get maximum effective resolution across the full frame and uniform detail edge to edge.
active imaging area
uniform pixel density
~72%
Full Coverage Fisheye
Approximate lateral field of view retained after cropping the image circle to fill a 16:9 sensor. The rest is thrown out.
~42%
Circular Fisheye
Approximate fraction of sensor pixels that actually contain image data. The rest is black border.
100%
VR16 Ultra-Wide
Every pixel on the sensor is carrying scene information. No wasted silicon, no cropped lateral view.
06 · Distortion Residuals
Fisheye projections also stretch pixels unevenly. Detail suffers where it matters most.
Across every fisheye projection model (equidistant, equisolid-angle, orthogonal, stereographic), the usable geometric area inside the frame is smaller than the sensor itself. The red regions below represent residual distortion and sensor area that does not map cleanly to a usable rectilinear image.
Rectilinear
Equidistant
Equisolid
Orthogonal
Stereographic
Green = usable distortion-managed area. Red = residual distortion or unused sensor. Only VR16 rectilinear fills the full frame.
07 · Viewer-Chosen Projection
The viewer picks the canvas inside the app. Same VR16 source, three ways to watch.
VR16 is the capture format. Projection is a user choice inside the Virtara app. Because the source frame is clean rectilinear video with zero distortion baked in, the Virtara playback layer can render it onto whatever canvas the viewer prefers. Fisheye source locks every viewer into one specific projection math. VR16 hands the choice to the person in the headset.
View Mode 01 · Default
Flat IMAX SBS
planar world canvas
Big screen cinema feel. Stereoscopic SBS video on a single rectilinear plane inside the Hidden Temple environment. Familiar, focused, and what Virtara is shipping today.
View Mode 02
Curved Canvas
cylindrical wrap
A gentle cylindrical wrap broadens peripheral presence while keeping geometry comfortable. Middle ground for long form content where deeper immersion matters but full dome is too much.
View Mode 03
VR180 Dome
180° hemisphere
Full hemispherical wraparound. The VR16 frame stretches across the viewer's entire forward field of view. Best for immersive scenes where presence and wraparound trump framing.
Virtara In-App View Menu
The viewer chooses at any time.
Fisheye source forces one projection model on every viewer. VR16 lets each viewer pick the canvas.
08 · Bottom Line
Three reasons Visorix ships VR16 Ultra-Wide.
Pixel Economy
Every pixel counts
no black borders
Fisheye forces a choice between cropping the scene or wasting sensor real estate. VR16 rectilinear uses 100 percent of the sensor at all times.
Detail Fidelity
Uniform resolution
no center-heavy compression
Fisheye projections compress pixels unevenly across the frame. A rectilinear lens distributes detail uniformly edge to edge, so text, faces, and textures hold up under zoom.
Viewer Choice
They pick the canvas
flat, curved, or VR180
Every Virtara viewer chooses their own projection mode in the headset: flat IMAX, curved wrap, or full VR180 dome. Fisheye source locks every viewer into one projection math. VR16 hands the choice to the person watching.

Technical Notes
* VR16 Ultra-Wide: The specialized VR16 format captures a highly detailed 90-degree field of view, equivalent to a 16mm Ultra-Wide lens on a 35mm sensor. VR16 Ultra-wide videos will work seamlessly in standard VR180 mode on playback devices.
** Super-Sampled Fidelity: The MRK10 captures a massive 10.2K (10,240 x 2880). The final video file will be super sampled down to 8192 x 3076 to ensure perfect compatibility with the Meta Quest 3 and industry-standard playback, resulting in a crisp, high-density 8K master.

Why Virtara Exists
My name is Thomas Nichols. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, self-taught product designer, and lifelong tinkerer. After six years in military logistics and procurement, I kept coming back to one thing: building practical tools that solve real problems.
As a creator, I saw firsthand how hard it is to break into VR. Everyone talks about immersive content being the future, but the cameras and workflows are expensive, complicated, and built for studios. Not for normal people. Meanwhile most of us are stuck fighting algorithms on flat 2D platforms for pennies.
Visorix is my answer to that. The flagship product, Virtara turns the phone you already own into a snap-on 180° or 3D cinema VR camera, with on-phone tools to edit and prepare content for VR platforms. The goal is simple: make immersive storytelling accessible while keeping creators in control of their work and their income.
My own journey has been shaped by faith and the mental health struggles I’ve seen around me, so Visorix includes optional faith-informed and motivational features alongside supportive resources for creators’ well-being. None of it is forced. It’s just there for those who want it.
