Why SBS on Quest?

Works with your players

Skybox, Pigasus, 4XVR and the built-in gallery all read side-by-side 3D. Convert once, play anywhere.

Runs in the headset browser

Open depthsnap.com in the Quest browser — the AI model runs on-device via WebGPU. Nothing to install.

Full resolution kept

No downscaling by default — sharp enough for Quest 3 pancake optics.

How to view your 3D photo on Quest

Convert your photo at DepthSnap — seconds, right in the headset browser.
Download the SBS image to the headset (Files) or via the Quest desktop app.
Open Files → Downloads or any VR player; pick the SBS / 3D mode if it is not auto-detected.
💡 Tip: aim for 2048px per eye or higher for Quest 3 pancake lenses. DepthSnap keeps full resolution by default.

Which player, and what to switch

Our mp4 carries a stereo (side-by-side) tag and a 1:1 pixel aspect, and the file name contains SBS_3D. Players that read the tag switch on their own; for the rest, one selection does it. Firmware versions differ — if yours behaves differently, tell us and we will add it here.
