Who here is rocking cardboard?
What apps are you running with it?

Has anyone got their phone set up as a monitor for occulus rift app compatibility?
Will we start seeing phones with HDMI-in or a chromecast baked in so people can use their phones as desktop displays?

>Who here is rocking cardboard?
me

>What apps are you running with it?

Of all the apps I've tried, I've most enjoyed Solar System (a much smaller version of space engine where you can't do much more than drift around a solar system and turn your head), Caaaaardboard! (a VR version of the other android game AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!, where you skydive from space and angle the phone to steer yourself through things that give you points), and [Cardboard]WAVEFILE_HatuneMiku (Third person (which is pretty crazy when your head is the right analog stick) non-game where you sit in a room and watch a fairly well-animated Miku dance to some music from different angles, guy has a couple other similar apps)("Hatune" is not a typo, that's how the app name is spelled)

>Has anyone got their phone set up as a monitor for occulus rift app compatibility?

I've looked into this, and there have been people who said they were working on it, even people who said they'd gotten it to work. I have yet to find an actual download link for any software that even claims to be able to run rift games on cardboard.

>Will we start seeing phones with HDMI-in or a chromecast baked in so people can use their phones as desktop displays?

Chromecast just uses wifi, you can already use your phone as a desktop display if you have the right software and know how to set it up.

Look up Trinus Gyre, little hard to set up but lets you play basically any 3d-capable PC game on cardboard, streams screen content either wirelessly or over USB

I would highly recommend this model.

It has a great strap, holds practically every phone. I added a little foam on the nose piece cause I have a big schnoz. Seems like the best on the market.

I got a Note 4 specifically to use for VR, happy to find this board.

Issues found so far are frame rates dropping when used for extended periods. The phone gets hot and on some games performance takes a hit. I hope they add something to the gear VR to keep it cool. I'm considering putting something to act as a heatsink.

Very pleased though. I love showing people, they flip out at how immersive it is. I use a ps4 remote(works out the box) and a bluetooth headset for sound.

I was thinking of snagging a Google cardboard kit, but i saw this and wondered if it's just a plastic cardboard kit with a strap. If that's the case, i might just save the extra $18 and get the cardboard.

Got my cardboard after about two weeks of shipping just to find out that my phone doesnt have a gyroscope.

Fucking sucks.

 No.406

>>398
That does suck, but it's kind of your own fault. Not much to say, you'll have to buy a new phone or wait for the CV1. I'll be buying the 'HTC hima' after it comes out or after the price drops a bit if it's too expensive.

 No.412

>>406
Yeah, it's somthing I probably should have looked into before I bought it. I can still watch vr videos on it so I guess that's nice too.

 No.562

I have a note 4, saving up for a gear vr, but I got a cardboard in the meantime. My favorite game I've found is a rail shooter called Vangard V.

When I first got it, there was like nothing avaible for it, but I go back to it once every few months and theres tons new stuff every time I do.
There's a jurrasic park app where the dino's are in animation loop and if you time it right, you can walk towards the t-rex and he eats you and you can go down his gullet. haha ain't that weird haha

 No.670

I have a cardboard + lg g3.

downsides:
no 2560x1440 stream from PC
shit viewing angle
Hopefully displayport in because fuck hdmi

 No.856

considering I have a samsung galaxy s4 and consider I have myopia, will I be able to feel to full capacity of carboard?

also, what if I had Hyperopia?

I plan on buying a cardboard today but have trouble deciding cause theres to many choices.

Still funny to picture you excitedly standing there, shaking and nodding your head, getting angry and confused.

My smartphone broke a year ago, now I'm using a 12 year old stupid backup phone and it works fine for my purposes (phonecalls). Guess I skip buying a new phone and instead save up for some killer PC and the OR CV1 when it comes out.

I was experimenting with unity3d and the dive plugin. Does anybody knows how to share the apps without paying for a google store account? I know you can install .apk's if you root your phone, but I can't ask people to root their phones just to walk around the shitty vr spaces I make.

>want to try cardboard vr

>can't find a <250€ phone with gyro

Maybe I will just get a Zenfone 5 for 150€ and wait some years to switch phones

You just change a setting in security, you don't need to root the phone to install APKs.

I'm waiting for OnePlus Two, hope it has everything required for VR.

It does, they boldly accompany ANY purchase of OPO 2 with a Cardboard 2 device.

I'm going to hack a set using OPO 1 myself

I got cardboard from a friend who got it from a friend . Its the Conan one and I though I could use my deprecated S3 in it but theirs no QR codes that set the screen up for my eyes, I wind up using my nexus and that means pressing it against the cardboard and pressing the cardboard to my eyes, the whole time holding on for dear life so they dont slide in the slightest.
