About this app

=== CAPTATIO BENEVOLENTIAE

There is no company or money of sorts behind this app: it's something I did in my spare time. If you like it, consider leaving a review or at least rating it.

Also, my interests have shifted and I'm not working on this app anymore (I'm very sorry) but I update it from time to time to keep it working.

=== SALES PITCH

Are you waiting for the perfect media player in proper VR?

=== LONGER SALES PITCH

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.

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!

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

hey man thanks for this incredible app, all the other ones are either too clunky or paid or even ask for a subscription which is just absurd. I know you're not working on the app anymore but this one last feature could be very helpful, it's to be able to manually change the spacing and size of the two displays. My phone is too big so the display doesn't line up with the lens properly. So being able to manually move the two displays would fix this issue.

Hi and thank you for the glowing review! You can fix your problem using the viewer qr code of you have one, or generating one yourself (search Google for "cardboard viewer profile generator"). I hope this helps! Cheers, Riccardo

Decided to test my Shinecon VR headset, and this app was the perfect test for it! Other than a random app crash when I tapped the settings button(only once did that happen between installation completion and when I send this review), the app worked flawlessly! Even better: It reads from SD cards so if you have videos lying in SD storage, use them in this app! 5 stars to a single developer who managed to get this app in a stable state! Edit: No longer compatible for my devices. 2 stars for now.

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

Thank you! Even if I'm not working on this app anymore, I'm still glad it brings someone joy. Thank you for making my day! Riccardo

What’s new

Hi, and thank you for sticking with this app!

I now maintain the app only (my interests have shifted a while ago: sorry!).

In this release, I have fixed a problem with the loading of photographic environments and enabled VR Theater for new Android devices.

For practical reasons, I also increased the minimum Android version to use the app to 6.0.

Have a good VR!
