Simply after we thought the AI slop fest was over, Google pulls us proper again in. First, we had YouTube slop, then video game slop, after which we had Michael Bay slop. And simply in case you weren’t already slopped stuffed with slop juice squeezed straight from the slop teat of Veo 3, Google’s newest AI video generator mannequin, you all needed to go forward and invent new sorts of AI slop that make Sloppy Joe himself say, “I believe that’s an excessive amount of slop for me, fam.” Introducing: 360-degree video slop made by Google Veo 3.
This is a set of a bunch of the clips I created with VEO 3 to check out it is capacity to generate 360° video.

That’s proper, your poor, harmless VR content material isn’t protected from Veo 3’s generative skills both. Whereas I haven’t had an opportunity to truly view this content material in VR, creating it couldn’t be easier. Per Henry Daubrez on X, who initially found the trick, all it’s a must to do is add “make it 360 levels” to your Veo 3 immediate to generate video that may later be considered in VR. Effectively, virtually. There’s a little bit little bit of fussing with the metadata afterwards, too, as a way to get every part working proper.
In a publish on X, Daubrez says, “…the subsequent step is to inject the appropriate metadata in your file so you possibly can play it as an precise 360 video. I attempted a number of out there options, however ultimately, utilizing the Terminal was the one one [that] really [worked] for me with ExifTool… As soon as it’s saved with the appropriate metadata, it will likely be acknowledged as an precise 360/VR video, that means you possibly can simply play it in VLC and drag your mouse to go searching.”
🤯 Methods to generate VR/ 360° movies immediately with VEO3
Alright, I simply randomly came upon that very neat trick: In the event you immediate for a 360° video in VEO3 (like actually write “360°” ) it may well generate a Monoscopic 360 video, then the subsequent step is to inject the appropriate metadata in… pic.twitter.com/TDqynGEhio

However that’s just about it: immediate Veo 3 after which barely alter the metadata, and growth, you’ve received an AI-generated video that may be performed again in VR. There are some quirks, after all, just like the addition of black bars round among the generated content material. However for probably the most half, Veo 3 works about as properly with 360-degree content material because it does with the rest prompters have thrown at it, particularly, as Daubrez mentions, when you think about that this probably isn’t even a deliberate function of Veo 3. If you wish to watch a few of Veo 3’s advert hoc VR video for your self, there’s already some on YouTube to your viewing pleasure (or displeasure, relying on what your relationship to AI is).
Similar to with any Veo 3 software, there’s huge potential for slop right here, however I’ll be sincere, I’m going to present this one a little bit of a go. I don’t assume VR video is sort of on the level of excessive artwork but (no offense, VR creators), and, to be sincere, I form of like the concept of having the ability to generate VR experiences that don’t exist but, particularly as a result of the VR catalog remains to be considerably restricted. I’m certain I’ll find yourself consuming these phrases sooner moderately than later, and similar to a Sloppy Joe, it would finally erode your physique from the within out—however hey, there’s a time and a spot for junk meals, so have enjoyable when you can, of us.
