LG 360 VR PC adapter

[strfry]

It still requires some kind of driver or programm to talk with the LG via USB and switch it on.
Also, there still is the issue of the displays being rotated by 90 and -90 degrees respectively...

Hey i know this tread hasnt been very active but has there been any updates on the adapters, if so are they available to purchase?

Isn't the display rotation something that can be fixed with a Windows or Linux display driver? Does the headset connect as one or two displays? And I've got several open DisplayPort adapters & a USB-C port without DP, I'd love to get an adapter for less'n eighty bucks.

Hey all - recently found this thread (and a cheap LG HMD). The original vr-player software link is now empty - has anyone found an alternative link?

Thanks in advance.

I also couldn't get them on the playstore here but I found the apps on APKMirror if I remember correctly. PM me if you can't find them, and I'll have a browse through my NAS to see if I kept the installers. But they should be on the many APK download sites. Problem is you need a whole bundle of them, there is one core app but it checks whether all the other apps (video player and some garbage demo apps) are installed and if they're not it refuses to proceed ?

This is a thread for using the R100 on a PC, and the person you're replying to is referring to a Windows application. You're talking about the android side of things.

Rothas was very generous and provided the software package. Here is a new link - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Tnm6UjchQE0j1yO1STa8N8Tq4XjXa95Y/view?usp=sharing

I somehow never got this program to work... so I created a simple command-line utility (using LibUSB) to just turn the display of this VR glasses on and then wrote a shader plugin for VLC to render normal videos in this weird side-by-side format required by those VR glasses. It's still experimental, but works okayish for me - if anyone wants to give it a try, it's on my repository under github.com/bauermaximilian/LG-360-VR-for-PC/

Edit: I just found out that this doesn't just work for watching movies, but since VLC supports using a (single) screen as video source (with source "screen://" and the additional options ":screen-fps=25.000000 :live-caching=0 :screen-left=1920"), this approach can even be used to display the whole desktop and applications like a web browser inside the VR glasses! It's a bit small though and doesn't display the mouse cursor.
