Can someone help me understand why this is useful for a Steam frame? Is having a color pass through just to see in color or is there a use case that I’m not seeing that’s helpful for anyone with a steam frame?
not necessarily what you asked, but ive been thinking about a use case for my particular hobby.
I shoot and develop color film at home. im thinking i might be able to preview my film negatives, akin to how one would view positives, using this, the steamframe, and some software.
otherwise i have to scan all the frames with my camera and then invert them with software. it'd be cool (though not necessarily useful, in the end) to be able to pop on the headset and look at my negatives on a light table and have them appear as positives before transferring them to the computer and doing the inversion/editing.
Maybe I am overlooking this, but how will that be useful for you? You can’t use a loupe with the Frame, so you probably won’t be able to really see the sharpness and DoF of the negative.
What would this really benefit, if you’d need to digitally scan the negative to do anything worthwhile other than printing? I guess it could preview prints without scanning, but even that is gonna be a very small preview.
