CollaVR: Collaborative In-Headset Review for VR Video
summary
CollaVR is a working prototype that lets multiple users wear VR headsets and review the same 360° video with shared tools: viewport visualization, spatialized voice chat, peeking, follow-in-time and a slaving mode that renders a reduced master view to reduce nausea. It records multimodal notes (view direction, audio, drawings) with transcripts. A preliminary study with five professional filmmakers (two groups) shows more time spent viewing the same direction and more implicit references versus a baseline without collaboration. Limits: co‑located, small groups, and audio/viewport clutter as participant count rises.
