Vimeo Gets Support For HDR Videos
Posted in: Today's Chili
Video streaming service Vimeo today announced that it finally supports HDR videos on its platform. HDR videos can now be uploaded to Vimeo and the service promises to retain “as much quality as possible” for all HDR uploads. With support for 10-bit video, Vimeo can now bring over one billion colors to the screen, enabling the video quality to be strikingly clear and cleaner than ever before.
All Vimeo users who either shoot or master HDR footage can upload their videos to the service. Viewers will be able to watch them but they’ll obviously need an HDR-compatible monitor. HDR videos can be uploaded from anywhere, be it their preferred workflow like Dropbox or Final Cut Pro, or the upload page on Vimeo.
The supported devices also include the iPhone X, iPad Pro, and Apple TV 4K. Vimeo says that it’s the only video-hosting service available in HDR on the aforementioned platforms.
The wider color range enabled by HDR represents 75 percent of the color that the human eye can see. That’s a significant improvement as most modern color gamuts are only limited to 35 percent of the color range.
Vimeo also supports up to 8K resolutions so creators can unlock their 5K, 6K, and 8K videos for viewers. 8K displays aren’t common as yet but Vimeo is providing this feature to content creators because it wants them to be able to sell and distribute their work in the best quality possible.

HTC Vive Tracker Bundles Launched
Posted in: Today's Chili
HTC is bringing its tracker device to consumers for the very first time. The company today announced the launch of Vive tracker bundles, the device enables users to attach it to an object and take it with them into the virtual world. It’s basically a motion tracking accessory that can be attached to any real life object. Customers are required to have the HTC Vive virtual reality headset in order to use this tracker.
The Vive Tracker motion tracking accessory creates a wireless connection between the headset and the object. This enables the user to use the real object in the virtual world. It can even be attached to a DSLR camera to create mixed reality videos.
“The Vive Tracker opens up a whole new set of experiences that can take advantage of full body tracking and a number of peripherals that set VR experiences on Vive apart,” said HTC’s Daniel O’Brien.
The first Vive Tracker bundles are available for pre-order starting today. They will ship around mid-December. Each Tracker costs $99 and can be used with dozens of VR games and multiple new accessories such as the Hyper Blaster from Hyperkin, the Racket Sports Set, and Rebuff Reality’s TrackStrap.
The bundle with a Hyper Blaster gun and tracker with Duck Season will retail for $149.99 while the Racket Sports Set bundle with rackets and a tracker is going to cost the same with a copy of Virtual Sports.
