2:1 is the optimal aspect ratio for a sphere-map, since the width spans 360° and the height spans 180°. I wanted to upload a version of the sphere-map without enabling VR mode, because I think it's kinda interesting to look at. I chose the 8:3 aspect ratio because the top & bottom edge of a sphere-map is pretty heavily distorted, and just kinda looks like crap. By cropping to 8:3, I cut out the ugly warped edges, and got a nice """"""cinematic"""""" letterbox.

For this cropped sphere edition, I rotated the perspective by 90° horizontally- that's why the track isn't in the center of the screen. I did this because if the video was forward oriented, then the back perspective would have been split on the edges, and wouldn't be very perceptible. The decision to rotate 90° places one of the side perspectives on the screen edges, however that's not a big deal for this video in particular, because the rotational kaleidoscopic effect causes both sides of the screen to be identical for a large portion of the video. During segments where the side perspectives are mirror copies of eachother, only one side is needed to get the whole picture
