Just after we thought the AI slop fest was over, Google pulls us proper again in. First, we had YouTube slop, then online game slop, after which we had Michael Bay slop. And simply in case you weren’t already slopped stuffed with slop juice squeezed straight from the slop teat of Veo 3, Google’s newest AI video generator mannequin, you all needed to go forward and invent new sorts of AI slop that make Sloppy Joe himself say, “I feel that’s an excessive amount of slop for me, fam.” Introducing: 360-degree video slop made by Google Veo 3.
Here’s a group of a bunch of the clips I created with VEO 3 to check out it is potential to generate 360° video.

That’s proper, your poor, harmless VR content material isn’t protected from Veo 3’s generative skills both. While I haven’t had an opportunity to really view this content material in VR, creating it couldn’t be less complicated. Per Henry Daubrez on X, who initially found the trick, all you need to do is add “make it 360 levels” to your Veo 3 immediate to generate video that may later be considered in VR. Well, virtually. There’s just a little little bit of fussing with the metadata afterwards, too, so as to get every thing working proper.
In a publish on X, Daubrez says, “…the following step is to inject the fitting metadata in your file so you’ll be able to play it as an precise 360 video. I attempted a couple of out there options, however in the long run, utilizing the Terminal was the one one [that] really [worked] for me with ExifTool… Once it’s saved with the fitting metadata, it will likely be acknowledged as an precise 360/VR video, that means you’ll be able to simply play it in VLC and drag your mouse to go searching.”

Alright, I simply randomly chanced on that very neat trick: If you immediate for a 360° video in VEO3 (like actually write “360°” ) it will probably generate a Monoscopic 360 video, then the following step is to inject the fitting metadata in… pic.twitter.com/TDqynGEhio

But that’s just about it: immediate Veo 3 after which barely alter the metadata, and increase, you’ve obtained an AI-generated video that may be performed again in VR. There are some quirks, in fact, just like the addition of black bars round a few of the generated content material. But for essentially the most half, Veo 3 works about as nicely with 360-degree content material because it does with anything prompters have thrown at it, particularly, as Daubrez mentions, when you think about that this doubtless isn’t even a deliberate function of Veo 3. If you wish to watch a few of Veo 3’s advert hoc VR video for your self, there’s already some on YouTube on your viewing pleasure (or displeasure, relying on what your relationship to AI is).
Just like with any Veo 3 software, there’s huge potential for slop right here, however I’ll be sincere, I’m going to provide this one a little bit of a cross. I don’t assume VR video is sort of on the level of excessive artwork but (no offense, VR creators), and, to be sincere, I sort of like the thought of with the ability to generate VR experiences that don’t exist but, particularly as a result of the VR catalog continues to be considerably restricted. I’m certain I’ll find yourself consuming these phrases sooner reasonably than later, and similar to a Sloppy Joe, it’d ultimately erode your physique from the within out—however hey, there’s a time and a spot for junk meals, so have enjoyable whilst you can, of us.
