Tutorial: Live Ricoh Theta S Dual Fish Eye for SteamVR in Unity

[codetricity]

Either @jcasman or I will need to ask someone at Ricoh if it’s possible to use the plug-in to stream over a USB cable. Currently, we only have examples to stream from the plug-in using Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

The Ricoh camera app can stream over USB, but it’s using a different code base.

Update: 2018/09/18: Does not look possible to stream dual-fisheye over USB using the plug-in. See this:

Not possible to stream dual-fisheye over USB with plug-in

Last week someone asked about the technical feasibility of developing a plug-in to stream dual-fisheye video over USB. After asking several knowledgeable people, I do not believe this is possible right now. You can stream dual-fisheye using Wi-Fi or Ethernet with the plug-in API, but I can’t think of a way to stream it over USB.
