---

Got your Google Cardboard handy (or why not, maybe a better headset, like the Homido VR)? Great! Enjoy your own 2D and 3D movies in a virtual cinema, for free (it also supports panoramic 360° and 180° movies)!

Full Virtual Reality: turn your head around and watch the environment.
2 (honestly bare) 3D environments, and dozens of photographic ones to choose from.
Works with all mp4 files (and with a bit of luck other formats...), can play movies from the web and other applications.
Supports many 3D movie formats, like SBS, Over/Under and Red-Cyan anaglyph, but plays normal 2D movies as well.
Supports .srt subtitle files: select them manually, or automatically if the subtitle file name matches the video.
No ads, no in-app payments or statistics gathering: 100% free for personal use!
Doesn't require buttons on the headset to work.
Make yourself at home: check the "Options" menu and configure the theater as you like!

Support: [e-mail]

The movie represented on the virtual screen ("Elephants Dream" (c) copyright 2006, Blender Foundation / Netherlands Media Art Institute / www.elephantsdream.org), can be freely downloaded in both SBS and over/under version at the URL: https://orange.blender.org/blog/elephants-dream-in-stereoscopic-3d

Ratings and reviews

took a little bit of time to figure it out and adjust the settings, but I really like it in locked mode. It's great for laying in bed with a movie theater screen experience attached to your head. I use it as an external player for stremio. Unfortunately it doesn't support subtitles in the stream, only external subtitle files.

Spectacular for what it is * * * * * It is very easy to use. The only complaint is that there are no icons/thumbnails for videos in the browser. Otherwise, it is the benchmark for Phone only VR Aps. The control wheel is something I wish I would see more often in other apps, rather than having to connect a controller. Gotta say, Dune be hitting different in VR. To the developer, thank you

"No ads, no in-app payments or statistics gathering: 100% free for personal use!" It's nice to see an ethical developer. If you ever make a paid/donation version, I'll buy it. Update: It's possible to make a living selling software ethically. I have done it for the past three decades. Adware and IAPs are absolutely not necessary.

What’s new

I apologize for the inconvenience!

The 0.15.0 update left some of you with a black screen instead of a movie. This release hunts those bugs down:

- black/blank screen after updating
- black video on some Samsung devices
- a crash in the gaze controls
- screen-lock breaking 180°/360° panoramic

Thanks to Muhammad R. and Albert L. for the help! A calm bug report beats an angry one-star — I read and answer every message, so reach out. Enjoy a (hopefully) less buggy app!
