Headache = Lack of 60 FPS and LAG?

As opposed to getting no headaches with the Gear VR Apps, what I noticed from using a bunch of apps on the play store is that most of them gives me a major headache.. I also find their most of the bit rate for the Cardboard demo to be absolute crap. Including the Hobbit and Black Mass trailer. The headaches are also instant. Doesn't take a minute of viewing or more. Really makes me appreciate what sammys put together.
I'm not that knowledgeable in VR but is this due to the lack of consistent 60 fps and the motion lag on the play store apps? Or is this all because we're trying to use the carboard apps on our Gear VR. I have a friend who's interested in the Gear VR but has bought the Cardboard to test it out and I'm afraid he's not going to convert due to the bad experience. Thanks!

the gear vr is a heck of a lot smoother experience than the google cardboard apps, you're not wrong about that. hasn't given me headaches trying to use cardboard apps, but then again, i only tried them for a few seconds and was underwhelmed by them. stick with the vr apps.

I was thinking maybe it was the Gear VR that had something to do with it. Hopefully more quality apps will show up soon.

Almost half a gig download to watch live or let die? deleted that thing fast Ill take the games all day long over stupid 360 videos that you can just find off the web anyway. Coldplay ones deleted after watching 30 sec of it also.

I agree with you. Im not sure if Jaunt did this cold play one but if it's the same guys who did Hobbit VR, Black Mass Trailer etc, they really need to step up their game. The bitrate and the quality of the video is pure crap. I still can't get over it... Even the mongolian hut demo and the circus demo was 10 times better than these.

Just give us a youtube VR player or that supposed Milk VR player, and quit putting 100 megabyte demo videos out At least then its a slim app and we can just watch what we want without downloading the gigs on the phone storage.

wow, Temple Run VR is insane. instant headaches. but oh so cool. love that you can around and see the monsters chasing you. definitely will take a bit getting used to

I thought that demo was way too short for any over heating to occur XD That one measly level was nothing! I wish they had the weapons system like anshar wars too
Haven't tried temple run but now I am interested * -*
Youtube would be great too ; 3;

That was herobound for me. Overheat box almost every time I play. Super addicting and game of the year fun.

So the Coldplay sucks? That's a bummer.

Musics okay but the video and vr quality sucks. And I wish he covered his damn stomach lol.

Ok, todays, batch of apps are quite cool. I think the quality of the VR from Matterport is pretty stunning. I think the quality of their video is head and shoulders above what Jaunt does currently. Can't wait to see them cover more locations.
Edit: im going to try to find out if we can download more locations from their website http://matterport.com/

[Q] 360/3D Skyrim Game Play Video For GearVR

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

Top Gear VR apps

thought it would be nice if everyone that has a gear vr could list the apps they have on their Gear VR or mostly use heres mine
1. Verse
2. samsung browser
3. Vtime
4. Smash hit vr
5. Temple run

Sorry to see so little traffic on this site, and no replies back to your OP. Last time I read it I was on my phone, but now on Macbook. The Browser is a given, as it is very well done, but needs some more settings to delete histories and for privacy. The other ones I have liked a lot since getting this last November are:
1. Herobound. All three of the games are very good, and the multiplayer is fun once you have mastered the moves in the demo and the Spirit Champion.
2. Netflix and Hulu. Close enough to the same thing. I pay for both services, so it is fun to watch on the giant screens.
3. Adventure Time game. Short but very fun to play and the 3D parts are cute and give you that immersive feel more.
4. Oculus Video.. Some great shorts, and lots of other free things to see, presented in a very beautiful opening theater scene in 360. Renting movies also a good feature, but we tend to buy what we want to see, unless we don't expect it to be worth seeing again, i.e. Krampus : )
5. Gunjack. I finished the game finally and got 3 stars on all levels, but it was Hard. I used to love Galaga, so this was a no brainer, as it is basically that in VR 3D. This one took a while, and was definitely worth the price and more.
Thanks.
Mark

Thanks for sharing

Milk VR, End Space and Minecraft VR are my top picks. Well minecraft is more for the kids, they love actually being in the world. Milk VR has loads to watch for free and plays all my videos 3d, 360 or normal

I don't have GearVR, but I find NOMone VR Browser to be very useful for cardboard. Based on the user feedback, it should be usable on GearVR, but you can't use the controller though. You can use any earphones with a button to overcome this issue.

Gear VR Games

Hello all,
Was wondering what games that you have played that are a must have.
Thanks

Surprised there aren't responses yet. I find Bandit Six to be very addicting. It's a simple game, but really fun. I just started playing Dragon Front, which is cool game. The graphics are a touch blurry, but I like the gameplay and quality. Then there's always Minecraft, which is so well done it is worth buying a game controller for.

Dead Drop
Affected Manor
Dead and Buried
Face your Fears (fear of clowns? This one is great, Please record video and youtube it)
My kids get a kick out of Jurassic World Apatosaurus

A game I got a lot of people hooked on is Zed Shot If you like zombie shooting games, this is my favorite. :good::highfive:

I was at a very high level on Bandit 6 with almost all of the upgrades on my S7 Edge. I assumed the games were backed up on Oculus. It stinks that all that work is lost and I have to start from the beginning. But it is a fun game. [emoji4]

I don't have a gear VR, but I do have the Daydream. Do they both have the same game selection? I do LOVE that the S8 and S8+ support Day Dream out of the box! I love this puzzle game called Claro. Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superbright.claro&hl=en

Claro was one of the free games I received with the S8, pre-order, free Galaxy VR promotion. I played it once. It looks nice but not my style of game.
