Gear VR pc mirror to use rift apps

So I got the Gear VR today. It's ****ing amazing.... So next step. How do I get this to mirror my pc so that I can use it to play apps set up for the Oculus Rift from my computer? Any ideas where to start? Must see Hawken...

I think for now there is no good solution yet because of too high latency for VR. But if you want to watch your own 2D/3D/360° movies you can just put them on the SD card of the Note 4 to watch in Gear VR.

It works. But it's a method of screen mirroring to your device. Apparently there are some quirks that need to be worked out to get it fully operational. It requires an additional app for head tracking. Plus you need to basically mod every pc program you want to use to support what is essentially a false HMD. I'm still working on it.

I've also noticed a lot of latency issues with a lot of apps meant for cardboard versus the gear vr apps. Basically anything meant for cardboard is "ok" as far as head tracking goes. But the gear apps are nearly perfect. (you can use cardboard apps by sliding the phone into place while holding the usb connection tilted so it doesn't quite connect) As an example, I tried Vanguard V before it was released for gear using the cardboard version. The tracking lag was irritating to say the least. But when I tried the gear version, the tracking was perfect. This makes me hesitant on how well this will work in general. Though some of them are hit or miss on tracking. A few are almost as good as the gear vr stuff. Almost. I think the Gear VR headset may have additional tracking sensors built into it. After all, it says "mouse disconnected" when you remove the handset from the headset.

I think there is gyro in headset itself. There is folder called oculus in phone storage with "gyrocalibration" file inside

That also could be calibration on the phone gyro.

[Q] Is there any place I can experience VR in new york?

I have sprint note 4, and i want to try VR before I make a purchase
Is there any place I can experience gear VR in new york?

I had to call several T Mobile stores before being informed that the demo would only be at one location in my entire state.

i guess i have to make a decision without exerience the demo model

theres not a whole lot of content out for it unfortunately, but its been keeping satisfied with the cinema theater, and 360 photos

VR is the shiznit. If nothing else get for its value as a commodity; the first of its kind and exclusive to our phone. If I weren't so frugal, I'd probably get 2 and keep one unsealed. Either way, the value far surpasses the cost of admission.

You maybe able to find one in a local BestBuy. Some stores got demo versions but most didn't. If you were closer to Denver I would meet up with you and let you try. I too couldn't find any demo unit before I bought my Gear VR and that almost stopped me from even purchasing one. I didn't want the Gear VR to end up like my Google Glass, collecting dust. I am VERY glad it didn't stop me this thing is pretty damn awesome.

come to the samsung experience store, i work there, it located in
130 Prince street, New York, NY 10012
feel free to stop by tomorrow i work there,my name is Cary,i loved to give you a run down on the device,i i have one at home,and it off the hook,and bring ppl along we the first samsung store ever,so stop by and ask for me

Samsung isn't advertising the gear vr at all, cause of its Innovator Edition status. But Samsung experience stores should have it, also if your in NY Google a VR meetup in your area and you could probably try several types of vr if you wanted. I wasn't able to test it before I got mine either, but I figured if it was straight up junk I would just return it. Got it launch day and its by far worth every penny of that 200, especially if you already own a note 4. Honestly it's been amazing, from the games that under normal circumstances I would never play but in VR it's a whole different experience, to the oculus cinema which is downright awesome, loading my own 3D or 2D movies into. Last thing I got the controller too, most stuff doesn't need it but there's some cool stuff that does or it enhances the experience, I'd recommend one of those moga ones if the Samsung gamepad which I don't really like is out of stock.

Hey Deezy88, my name is Ben and i am from England. We cannot get the GearVR anywhere here yet and i am going to be in NY on the 24th of Jan. .. for a few hours only on my way home. I really fancy taking a gear VR and Gamepad home with me... if you were to buy me a new one, and could meet me somewhere in NYC on the 24th, i will give you your costs back and another 100 bucks? Would be great if you could help me out?
Here's hoping!

Is the device comfortable? I mean its on your face and all, what about ventilation? I've read quite a bit and still have my doubts. Not entirely sure I want to spend on it just yet.

star wars google cardboard with gear vr

hey, has anyone tried using the new jakku spy vr portion in the star wars app with gear vr? everything i've read says the vr will work with cardboard apps, but when i try this, it just looks wrong. which suck because i really want to try it.
I'm guessing i just don't have the right setup for cardboard? i don't know. pretty new to all of this.

Have you disabled the Gear VR package so that it doesn't launch when you insert your phone? What looks wrong about it?

Well after watching a few vids, i tried sliding my note 4 into the vr without plugging it in. i tried a few cardboard aps, and they seem alright, but the star wars one is messed up. the text scrawl has each eyes imang crossing into and through each other. kind of frorming a huge jumbled X mess of text.

I remember that at least one of the Jakku Spy videos has text that didn't line up for me. I think the videos might have some issues where they didn't render the stereoscopic alignment correctly.

Gear VR, anyone else get one?

My former employees gave me a galaxy vr as a going away gift on my last day. So far, I'd say this is the most fun accessory that I've gotten for my note 5. Even the free content is fantastic. I've installed package disabler to be able to run cardboard apps, but I want to know if anyone has found any fun items for this device.

there are plenty

Jurassic World, Social Alpha, Netflix to name a few. Did you just say you figured out a way to run cardboard apps on it? Please do tell!

max temp so far (on note 5) is about 106 degrees after 4 hours, thats not hot at all

I haven't ran into any overheating issues. Gets a little warm but that's it

Stumped
Tried to use the widget but GEAR VR SERVICES doesn't show up in the list. Anyone else have this problem and a solution? Gear Vr services is listed under APP manager though.

I used Package Disabler Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
I don't have root access and it works for me to disable Gear VR Service. I don't have the VR yet, so I can't test the rest.
Good luck.
I think there is a free version of the app too.

I had one of these for my note 4 and found it to kill the battery and make the phone so hot that it often shut down after 30 mins due to heat. Tried it on my note 5 but same issues. However it was more of a problem as no SD card slot, so found the games large enough to fill up my device quickly. Note 4 was a quick swap of the memory card.
The image wasn't clear either - as mentioned above each eye separately seemed ok but blurred a little together. It feels like the lens need an adjustment to suit width of eyes also.
I found the VR interesting but gimmicky. It seems like an afterthought. But as its early days I'd have expected the consumer edition to be improved over the innovator edition...but its just not. However it is half the price!
Next version will hopefully further improve this. I can totally see a market more these but as an early adopter I soon became bored with it (and had a few headaches too as a result of the blurring!).

Don't forget to install Herobound: First Steps (free). You'll really need a controller to get the most out of it, but its the first game I played that really felt immersive.

What controller do you guys recommend?

Any thread with links for 3D 360 downloadable videos for the Gear VR

All I could find is 3D porn, which is amazing, but I'd like to download immersive live experiences, visit far away countrys, jump from plane, drive a F1 car, get into a crazy roller coaster, is there a thread in xda with this kind of content, maybe a website different from 360videos?

+1

There is milk vr on the oculus store or you can play all the 360 youtube videos through the new gear vr browser

As I wrote, go to your phone, to folder - Oculus, then 360Videos and put it there.
Then open 360Videos app and it will appear right in front of you.

somebody use intugame vr??? i think it's really nice working...

I like using MilkVR over Oculus 360. Anyone else prefer that app?
