Hello David,
hope you had good holidays!

Working on my project this week, I found two things that could interest you if you haven't try yet:

• I tried to rotate the skybox, but it seams that when we use VideoTexture the skybox cannot be rotate
• When the camera look at forward, the video is not centered (it's looking at +90 degrees)

Thanks a lot for your work! :)

Hey:)
You can rotate the skybox but it won't change anything visually as the projection of the texture is in view space. This is one of the thing this issue will fix
Can you repro on the playground foe the second issue?

[littlebigben]

I copy/paste your sample : https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#682D2P
The original video : https://yoda.blob.core.windows.net/videos/uptale360.mp4

As you can see we should aim the center of the video (the white building).

By the way, I don't know if it is an issue, but I cannot turn my camera : http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/34957-rotate-camera-in-vr/

[deltakosh]

OK so the aim problem will be fixed Ed by this issue
For you other question @raananw gave you an answer :)
