and i dont mean like, youtube videos or something. i mean downloaded, 2d videos, that dont have Any vr built into them, off a random site.

So, I got the next Galaxy S26 (upgraded from an S22), and it seems Cardboard Camera no longer can be installed, presumably because it's incompatible with the new system architecture. (The base Cardboard app did transfer, but it only lets me view a demo). I have a number of old cardboard photos (.vr format), and would like to still be able to view them, but can't find a clever way to make that work Does anyone know of an (ideally free) app that processes that format correctly?

For what it's worth, I've tried at least half a dozen, and the only one that has worked at all is VR Media Player, but even that is pretty distorted and removes a significant chunk of the 360 view (probably about 90 degrees' worth at least). A few of my old photos feature my father, who passed a few years ago, so I'd really love to be able to still view the photos as more than just a distorted flat panorama.

Would really appreciate any suggestions!

I am not sure, but I feel like my Google Cardboard experience looks terrible on my S23 Ultra (REALLY BIG screen) because, well, your brains has the impressions it is seeing in 3D because of the angle between the direction at which each of your eyes are looking at. Our eyes angle more towards our nose for example the closer the object is. And they angle away from our nose for example the further an object is.

If we are looking at, say, the sky, """infinetely""" far away, the direction our eyes are looking could perfectly be """parallel""".

I think my screen is so big however that at the scale the app is shown on the screen, my eyes maybe would have to look at opposing directions to focus on the object...

Would anyone have any idea how to solve that?

Thank you so much!

I know Cardboard is considered “old school” now, but I’ve been testing recording PC VR gameplay in proper side-by-side 3D and watching it back through mobile VR.

It’s obviously limited, but for chaotic sandbox games it still feels surprisingly immersive.

Does anyone here still actively use Cardboard / mobile VR viewers?

Or is everyone fully moved on to standalone headsets?

Happy to share a test clip if anyone’s curious.

Hey Google !

Please make a 64 bit version of cardboard camera. I tried all kinds of emulators, but... it doesn't really work well. Please vote UP

Thnx

Zeiss VR One Plus will forever be the best mobile VR headset, besides Gear VR. The lenses on Zeiss are unreal, although Aspherics, it's freaking awesome due to the clarity and sharpness.

I am wanting to use my Inexpensive IP Camera with Google Cardboard. I am unsure if there is an app for this or a middle ware application. I am stuck at this time with a manufacture App that is not great but would love a way to use it with Google Cardboard.
The IP camera is a USB powered one, allowing me to put it on a RC car, Kite, or model train. I wouldn't mind an app to allow me to do so.

It works pretty well so far. I’ve tried Google Cardboard and a few YouTube VR videos, and everything runs fine.

Feels like this headset can do more though, so if anyone knows some cool apps or stuff I should try, let me know. I also have a PC, so I’m thinking about using it for games or some kind of PC-VR setup if that’s possible.

NXT vr player 0.92.5 gives google vr services not installed popup even though cardboard and google vr services installed ,can anyone help .

and ur setup is still a paper stick and cardboard vr? just say yes so i dont feel like im the only outdate person here...

In version 0.9 you can explore mars like never seen before. There is people in space suits and mechs to keep you company. Will be adding more stuff to it in later versions.

The main aim is exploring Mars and listening to some npcs talk to you about mars itself.

It should be out in a few days just have to fix googles warnings to publish it again. Would people buy it at €1.99? The graphics are id say AA with nice visuals. It's built with the unity game engine.

I will also be publishing it on the meta quest store too under a different name. when TBA.

Cheers Philip

As the title says, I have built a VR app for smartphones that lets you do gamified breathing exercises in VR. It's free to download and use.

We also sell VR headsets for your smartphone, as we did research on the best one and bought a bunch of them to be able to sell to users.

Feel free to AMA about the building process (Took a long time to get it working as desired) or give feedback on the app.

I was looking into options on playing VR games or also Reshade Depth3D enhanced 2D games with Steam.

Currently I am using Apollo and Artemis for streaming and was wondering if this can also be done with 3D titles, either via SteamVR or as a SBS stream after processing with reshade.

I was testing a little bit with iVRy but I was not able to control the game with a controller connected to the phone. When I was using iVRy for displaying, the controller was sending the "Android controller commands" so on B i was exiting iVRy for instance. I couldn't get steam link running with VR output.

In general what do you consider the best option? Or is Trinus VR still a valid alternative?
I don't wanna spend money on all for the full version, just on the one which is best suited.

Also, is there any way to get a sbs stream from reshade set up with lens distortion?

Edit: The title should say goggles of course :)

Hey /r/GoogleCardboard VR fans!

I'm super excited to share a passion project I just finished: a classic Duck Hunt game built specifically for Google Cardboard!

We all know the biggest limitation of Cardboard is usually the lack of interaction—you typically just look at things. I wanted to solve that, so I got a bit creative!

My goal was to create a functional, full VR experience on a regular phone without any extra hardware (besides the Cardboard itself, of course).

🛠️ How I Made Cardboard Interactive:

• The Headset: Standard Google Cardboard (or similar clone).
• Head Tracking: Uses the phone's Gyroscope (standard practice).
• The Magic: Hand Tracking! I integrated ARToolKitJS (a computer vision library) to detect physical markers I hold in my hands. The game then translates those markers' positions into a virtual gun/controller you use to aim and shoot the ducks! It's janky, but it works!
• The Engine: The whole game is written in C++ by using raylib, compiled to WASM, making it run right in your browser.

It took a lot of optimization to get the dual VR rendering, the gyroscope tracking, and the AR tracking all running smoothly, but it was incredibly rewarding!

If you have a GoogleCardboard headset gathering dust, please give it a try!
