Ok, so in the oculus cinema there are the maze runner and ruin multiscreen trailers, since both of these movies are out and are the only 2 to implement multiscreen technology, is there a way to get the copies of the movies to play multiscreen like that?

Where is the best place to get 3d videos to work with the vr? I have a bunch of 3d blurays but I don't have a player for my computer. What is the best way to convert your videos to play in the vr. I also have a ton of ultraviolet movies I can download, will those play in the vr?
Also can i buy 3d movies from vudu and use them in vr?
Doubtful. Drm will lock most of the movie stores out your only options are ripping your own Blu-ray or. Pirating. At least until the supposed mgo advanced movie service for the gear Vr comes out.
Hey guys,
Ok here is the thing, for over 3 years now I have held out on buying an Oculus rift, hoping the next few months the official customer version would be out, but that until now is yet to happen.
So I purchased the Gear VR to finally get to experience VR (since I know it wont affect me in buying the Oculus CV1) and boy am I blown away, but one thing I am dying to experience is how the world of Skyrim with its beautiful nature and giant mountains would look in VR.
Is there any way for me to shoot/screen capture a 360 and/or 3D video of game play in skyrim and view it through the gear VR to have a bit of what that experience would be like?
Thanks all :good:
There is an android app for Google cardboard being worked on to let you stream pc games in vr format to the phone, it's not natively compatible with the gear vr yet, and there is latency issues or course. It shows promise though. Your question made me wonder a follow up questtion: can someone make a pc program that let's you take a 360 photosphere video or at least photo from a game like skyrim? Like fraps, but a photosphere. That would be fantastic.

That is exactly what I was asking for
I know about the latency and stuff, and I know about the app you mentioned... I just wanted to be able to experience it much like you would watching a gameplay on youtube... except its a 360 video
Just started researching this VR stuff today (no idea why), but I'm considering getting a VR for a Note 4. I'm not much of a gamer, so the primary use would be for watching 3D content and what not, but who knows if I'll get into the other stuff.
1. Do any of you solely use the Gear VR for movie watching? Is that your go to method of watching movies now?
2. I'm really not a fan of TouchWiz, and I've been reading that you can play 3D content using another 3rd party player. Is the 3D experience worse outside of the cinema app, or do you get the same immersion? Are any of you running alternate ROMs and happy with the Gear VR?
3. For 3D rips, obviously close to source is best. Are the ~2GB rips from torrent sites complete crap for the VR experience?
4. Is there anything in particular through hacking/experimenting that you found pretty cool?
I can only tell you for Gear VR 2 (Samsung S6), but Oculus Cinema should be the pretty same:
1) not sure. I watched for 2 hours 2d movie and the screen is too big (i think), you can not watch the whole screen at a time, at least not for details. If the movie uses cuts often, it is hard to adapt the new viewing angle that fast. Maybe with more training for myself...
2) you can use cardboard players (bad) or you have to recode 3d-sbs to 1920x520-sbs for example (so every side has right aspect ratio). Then you can play with mx-player but no lens correction. All cardboard players suffer on missing AC3 codec, needs to recode audio to mp3 or similar.
3) torrent site crap i do not know, use 1080p-sbs content (4-10 GB), that is good quality
4) Thats what we all are waiting for. At least an AC3-codec like for mx-player would be nice!
1) definitely not. Pixels (resolution) on such a huge virtual screen turned me off.

1. Yes and no - have a 120" projector screen so the gear vr doesn't really compare. But it is great in those situations where you don't have the option of using a large screen, or you only have a small lcd tv at home. The movie experience is pretty great on the gear vr especially if you re-enode your Blu-ray to full-sbs 720p movies.
2. Yes it is worse, so for now the cinema app is the best app.
3. 2Gb anything is crap when it comes to full movies.
4. Just remove the cushioning in order to get a much larger fov!
2) Kodi beats Oculus cinema hands down with network and 2d support.
So after spending all of time in the oculus cinema, watching twitch and movies. A thought came to mind. Why can't I play 2d games in a 3d environment. For example, playing gta 3 on the big cinema screen. I was iffy about PlayStation vr until I realized Sony is probably planning this. Playing some destiny on the big screen would be real enjoyable. Any ideas if these ideas are already being developed?

Well you can if you have a modern NVidia GPU you can use StreamTheater
It will show your PC screen in an Oculus cinema like app.

I am having some people over soon.
I have a Chromecast (v2) and all of the guests will have iOS/Android phones.
Are there any Chromecast games for 6-8 players?
Interesting concept. I think, such games would be possible on a Windows or Linux system attached to a big tv. The game server also performs as the sole display, and the phones serve as wifi game pads. The CC is much too limited for this, but does such already exist?
Checkout Scrabble if it's what you're looking for.
Though i was thinking same when playing motion tennis, that is there any 2 player game.
