Google Cardboard – Entry Level VR Experience
Like we said before, you can't have a proper VR experience without some kind of headset. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a VR headset, you can start with Google Cardboard. It's perfect for VR newbies and costs much less than a regular headset.By the way, 2D 180-degree video is the normal one, not VR video. Now “Output Format” > “Device” > “VR” and then select “HTC Vive”, “Samsung Gear VR” or “Oculus Rift” as the output device according to your need. You can also select “3D MP4 (side by side)” from “3D” category as the output format.
Regular 2D Videos – just the same way you watch 2D videos on your laptop monitor, you can watch the videos on your VR headset. They can include YouTube videos, Blu-ray and DVD movies with no special VR features.
How to Watch Content from PC or Mac on a Headset:
- Connect your headset to your PC or Mac.
- Next, you will need a video player app. HTC Vive has its app, called the Viveo Video App, which works on both the Vive and Oculus Rift.
- Open the video player app in your headset.
- Find the video and play it.
