Japanese idol group Rainbow Conquistador launched a 3D VR talk show series "Kimi to Nijicon [245mm]" using Canon's EOS VR SYSTEM. The 15-episode live stream on DeoVR and YouTube is a demonstration experiment exploring whether XR goggles can become a way for fans to watch their oshi. The setup uses an EOS R5 C camera and a real-time conversion app to stream VR180 footage without PC editing.
Rainbow Conquistador, a Japanese female idol group, began streaming a 3D VR talk show series on July 8. The project, called "Kimi to Nijicon [245mm]," uses Canon's EOS VR SYSTEM to capture VR180 footage in real time. Two members appear from the studio of CG company ILCA. The streams run on DeoVR and YouTube. The equipment includes an EOS R5 C camera, an RF5.2mm F2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE lens, and a real-time conversion app that feeds 4K 30p footage directly to a streaming PC via HDMI. The setup avoids the usual post-shoot editing workflow. The series consists of 15 live streams. The pre-stream featured Karin Matoba and Mai Ito.
