Hi,
First, thank you so much for making SPM!!! I can't believe this is free and I'm so happy I found it.
I'm looking for advice on how to format stereo photos with SPM such that they could be viewed in stereo on a VR headset. Is there a VR viewer (I have an Oculus, but I can access others) for stereo photos and what kind of format do you think those types of viewers would support?
I'm working on turning my grandfathers stereo photos (about 4600 slides) into a VR stereo photo library that the rest of his grandkids can view. I have already scanned all of the photos with a stereo slide scanner (I'm starting with his slides) and I have uploaded left and right photos to google photos.
I have downloaded SPM and figured out how to make the basic things work - I can make a stereo slide in various formats, but I'm not really sure how I could present this in a VR format. Any help is much appreciated.
My grandpa was a huge stereo photography buff - he had hundreds of cameras and always had one on him. Just to give you an idea of what he took: here is one of the google photo albums with the left-right photos in it (I have them organized on my hard drive in left-right folders): https://photos.app.goo.gl/rACbxo5xvsLtBC8j7
And here is a spreadsheet listing all of the albums that I have scanned and uploaded: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NZYCHI_zKLgbxDFKh4pvAspbEc1yrc4YpOQUl69dxEc/edit?usp=sharing
I realize there will be some post-processing to do to make these into clean stereo photos, but I'm up for it, and my family supports me in this.
My uncle is a programmer and says that if I need to write a VR viewer for stereo photos he will help me.
Thank you again.

Brandon,
My suggestion is joining the Photo-3D mailing list forum and post your questions there. You can find the list's web page here:
https://photo-3d.groups.io/g/main
The list has over 2,000 members with a wide variety of experience with photographic 3D images, slide scanning, and VR. It looks like you are off to a great start.

I hope it is okay to post this here in reply to the question for a virtual reality image viewer for the Meta Quest and Quest 2. We are developing such an app and have just recently released it. It supports loading MPO-files and various VR180 and VR360 formats:
