Cmoar VR Cinema
Wow finally…. A good and complete VR CInema program!
One of the biggest reasons I bought my Oculus Rift CV1 was because I loved to watch movies in VRcinema 3d back at the DK1 days, but when I bought the CV1, I saw VR Cinema 3d was no longer able to download and not optimzed for new VR headsets like the Oculus CV1 and the HTC Vive. For that my quest to a new VR cinema started, and I haved used Bigscreen, VorpX Movie mode, (which is actually quite good, but its not a cinema experience), Oculus Video, and even Cineveo, but neither of them gives me the quality and immersive feeling of a real cinema as this!

One word. Awesome.
I had the oportunity to beta test this program a couple of days ago and was very impressed with the potential. There were a few things that needed to be addressed to make it really great and I reported those suggestions to the devs. the final version has now been released and every suggestion that I thought of has been completely addressed in this released version. I am more than impressed with the quick development response from the devs.
I am using an HTC Vive. The provided environments are very good. There is a movie theater, a home cinema, a boat view and a void environment. The movie theater is my favorite and it really makes me feel like I am in a theater. There a 3 different seat positions to choose from depending on whether you want to be in the front of the theater, the middle or in the back. I always like to sit towards the back when I go to the real theater and the back position in the virtual cinema felt like a perfect distance for me. The light from the movie screen reflects back into the theater in a very convincing fashion. The video playback quality is excellent, especially when you play back a quality source.

SpaBerry VR Experience
This might still be the first and only hot tub VR experience. It’s not very stimulating. I enjoy a hot tub, don’t remember the last time I tried it. I’m also concious of how somewhat kinda sort gross they are. It’s like a bacteria stew or something.
! Also, you all pee in the pool and the shower and hot tubs so you can’t buy one from our friends at SpaBerry, not until you clean up your dingleberries. https://youtu.be/Jzap2bwZFho

Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers
You do need to do a Windows 7 compatibility fix to get experience to run correctly on the Oculus RIft. It is an advertisement for the Spaberry spa. I had fun though, but not because it’s a good app, just because it’s kind of unintentionally funny. Whole thing is about 5 minutes long.
Please watch my video … I did have fun with it ;) https://youtu.be/Rzvn_XUzifk
Rate 5/10. Needs online or local multiplayer for truly sexy, fun time in the spa. Would give 10/10 if added.

VR Photo Viewer
Great for viewing stereo 3D .mpo files! Thank you very much.
Feature requests:
Could there be an option to turn the grey room to black? It would feel more immersive I bet.
Is there a way for the user to scale down the .mp0 files? Some of them are so huge in your field of view that it’s overwhelming. Maybe an up/down slider on the controller somewhere?
Thanks again…keep up the good work!

Displays normal photos but if I try to load my 360X180 shots, it goes black. And since I bought this software to view the orbs I´m editing, I find it very expensive and useless…
Update:
Got a quick response from the developer that identified the problem and got it to work… It looks amazing and helps alot when I´m editing and going over my 360x180 orbs… Thanks again… =)

OVR Locomotion Effect - Anti VR Motion Sickness
This program can have an overall change for vr users across the world, personally I do not have motion sickness but I use this as shader for my screen like when a game is too bright, it’s really helpful for immersion too :) also have you ever wanted to look through gas mask in vr well this can help you do so. Overall its a 9/10 for me.

This is your best bet for fixing your nausea in VR aka simulation sickness.
Think of this like training wheels for bicycle, use this until you get used to VR.
My favorite options are:
Room effect with circle view,
instant animation with the longest keep and hide time
even smaller circle for rotation
a dark big black room with white dense grid,
just a little transparency for room,
and some fixed effect for the left one. (circle is only small enough but biggest it can be for me to be able to see the room from all peripheral sight where it is most sensitive to movement physiologically, a weird sentence but you will understand when you try :D)

VR MEDIA VIEWER
Quality is great, ease of use once mastered is no problem. Fast flexible options.
Great product, cant’t wait for more updates that make things even better.

Now I can finally watch all my stereoscopic photographs in mpo format full size in the VR headset and without the need for readjustment. That alone justifies the price for me.

VRocker
Wow! Works for ShadowPC + Quest + Virtual Desktop!!
Kinda amazed this actually works given my completely odd setup using a cloud gaming PC and wirelessly streaming VR, but here I am walking and lightly jogging to move in SkyrimVR, Gorn, and Serious Sam VR.
This software solution attracted me to try it because: (1) I can’t connect external foot trackers to a ShadowPC, nor would I really want to since the whole point of Quest to me is being able to have minimal setup and hardware and (2) using an arm swinging method I just figured would not work very well with the games I play where I am swinging my arms or holding them up quite a bit to actually play the game, like casting magic, shooting a bow and arrow or swinging a sword in Skyrim, hitting people in Gorn, or shooting all around me in Serious Sam, whereas this software does not require arm movement to work.

TL;DR I highly recommend VRocker as a walk in place solution for your VR locomotion.
How I Came To This Conclusion: In preparation for my index, I was researching the best options online for immersion. Based on my income it made sense to find a walk in place solution while gaming in VR chat, Rec Room, Pavlov, Alyx and Skryim. My first search led me to Kat Loco and while the price wasn’t too steep, the system was out of stock. This led to a recommendation of Natural Locomotion and the intriguing possibility of walk in place via joy cons and an android smartphone. I picked up ankle straps for the joy cons and a little pouch for the andriod phone off of Amazon. I strapped everything in, calibrated the devices and it simply did not work the way I wanted it to. The hand movement option was great but walk in place was unusable. That’s when i did some deeper digging and found VRocker. The hope I had in terms of movement in game was perfectly met. I sent back my straps and pouch to amazon and ended up spending far less that i anticipated to have my ideal experience.

HereSphere VR Video Player
Very immersive experience, I have not seen a better app than this so far .Very supportive developer I will add.
– Real player with 244.1 hrs in game
The good:
-
Technically the most competent VR video player I’ve seen and I’ve tried a whole bunch of them.
-
It can play more videos with less problems than more popular ones like Deo and Whirlwig.
-
It has a lot of settings for tweaking stuff.
The bad:
-
The UI reminds me of early Blender or GIMP somehow, and not in a good way.
-
It’s not a flat 2d UI in front of the 3d video, instead it’s inside the 3d space and positioned depending on where you happened to look when you pressed the menu button. I find it disorienting and annoying.

Natural Locomotion
Amazing software, I originally used it for implementing Controller based locomotion (the default in say Pavlov) in head based locomotion only games like VRChat. I did that for over a year and required very very specific settings on Vive Wands, later on Index controllers I had to change a few values and got the same result. For a long time it was difficult because it took me a long time to get it to work without having to actively move my hands in 3D space, I’d set locomotion to both joystick/touchpad with Steam rebinding so I could lower my chance of getting joystick drift, but this app only let me apply it to either the touchpad or joystick, not both at the same time.

The answer to motion sickness.
I suffer horrendously from dizziness / motion sickness. Boats = ill. Planes = ill. Passenger in a car = ill. Get out of a chair slightly too fast = ill. (You get the idea). So whilst I’m fine in teleportation based games such as Arizona Sunshine, using the joystick to move around in Zero Caliber VR / TWD: Saints & Sinners made me feel ill within 2 minutes, and left me groggy for the rest of the day.
The only solution I could find was “jUsT gEt YoUr Vr LeGs”. _

Singulive
Singulive is an Early Access Free VR experience that is a social music venue. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked good, played ok, sounded good, was understandable. This program released 17 Augt. 2021. Has English and Spanish as language choice. Didn’t notice this program was Oculus Rift only, but works somewhat on HTC Vive, although missing some minor features. Currently, has Two music sessions, both in Spanish, with 3 songs each, then there are 3 other artists coming soon. The camera work was good and crisp. I could not read the news. You need to make an account by launching the registering program first. Has a meeting room for friends and that you can invite Steam friends. I guess you can also play the music sessions with friends. Has five maps that you can visit to experience music. During a music session, you are locked in place. The artist is like a hologram on the stage.

Had this for a few days. You have to create an account, so I keep trying to create an account. I enter my email, make up a password, but when I hit the button to create the account, nothing happens. I made a post about this in the discussion area, but have yet to get a response.

Virtual Home Theater Video Player
I can’t believe I haven’t written a review yet. As you see from my over 300 hours of usage that I use this exclusively. I purchased this when it was more expensive and never regretted it. I never got it for the audio aspect although it is impressive. I got it for the 3D movie playback. The MAIN thing that drove my interest is that I did not have to use my controllers at all. I could do everything I wanted with the mouse. Trust me this is way more relaxing. I have had many many email conversations with Aurel the developer about features and getting help. I don’t think it is possible to get someone nicer and more hard working. I have had a number of suggestions that without hesitation were implemented in updates. I know there are more things to come as well so if you are on the fence, get this and you won’t be sorry

The only app that can play non head locked surround sound video with hardware decoded video, i tested it against all other players (deovr, whirligig, big screen etc), only virtual desktop come close (with it’s virtual sound drivers enabled), but still not as good, lots of parameters in VHT that you can adjust to your own like.
Of course the complicated and let’s be honest, rather ugly, GUI is the draw back. I would love the 3D model cinema enviroment (best ones are those in virtual desktop workshop),
