Google Cardboard (DIY 3D VR Glasses for 5-inch smartphones) support

[Guest xeros2]

Has anyone tried to use Google Cardboard app & glasses ( https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/ ) with our Coolpad F1 on any ROM?

I've found info about it today and I tried to test apps first before I'll decide for glasses, but unfortunately most apps for that have problems on CoolUI 4.2.2 041 that I still use (black split screen only on official demos & just vertical lines (but also split screen) on Unity-based games).

Would you please it check if it's the same on other 4.2.2 & 4.4.2 ROMs that you use?

Anyone to at least try the apps/games/demos on other ROMs only?:

or other VR cardboard apps/games.

 

They don't work properly on CoolUI 4.2.2, but I'd like to know if there's no such problem on other ROMs.

 

Edit:

Carboard glasses are not needed to check if any of those apps work or not - just the phone and app installation from Google Play.

 

155 views since yesterday and nobody wants to help with checking it?

I would check it myself flashing other ROMs, but I have everything configured "for me" on current ROM and need to be available on the phone all the time.

 

I think it's worth a try - our phone should fit requirements (including display - newer cheap cardboard or plastic VR glasses are OK with 720P on 5") and people trying such cardboards are very surprised how fun it is for both "big screen" movie watching or other true VR games/apps.

We don't have a gyroscope sensor so I guess cardboard will not work

Thx for reply.

Yeah, that's a pitty.

Well, there are very few apps that can use accelerometers as alternative for gyroscope.

But anyway, I think that cardboard could be at least good for 3D movies watching (versions with less zooming lens).
