You can create and fix spherical (360°) video, often described as Virtual Reality, or VR, using Fusion’s set of VR nodes. Dome productions, planetariums, and other special-venue theaters have utilized the flexibility of Fusion and its 3D system to produce and deliver special content for years.
TIP: You can create stereo VR using two stacked Lat Long images, one for each eye.

The equirectangular (lat-long) format often used for 360° video is similar to how a globe is represented by a flat world map, with the poles at the top and bottom edges of the image and the forward viewpoint at the center.

Fusion supports several common spherical image formats and can easily convert between them.
— VCross and HCross: VCross and HCross are the six square faces of a cube laid out in a cross, vertically or horizontally, with the forward view in the center of the cross in a 3:4 or 4:3 image.
— VStrip and HStrip: VStrip and HStrip are the six square faces of a cube laid vertically or horizontally in a line, ordered as Left, Right, Up, Down, Back, Front (+X, -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z) in a 1:6 or 6:1 image.
— LatLong: LatLong is a single 2:1 image in an equirectangular mapping.
