What videos can be played on HTC Vive?

The Four Kinds of Videos You Can Watch on Your HTC Vive

There are four kinds of video you can watch in VR, each of which you can obtain from different sources:

• Regular 2D video: These are the normal videos you find on YouTube, or rip from DVDs and Blu-ray discs.
• 3D video: You’ve seen 3D movies at the theater, and you can buy those 3D movies on Blu-ray, too. To watch them in VR, you can rip that 3D Blu-ray to a “side by side” or “over under” format, which is playable on a VR headset in 3D. (You’ll usually have the choice between Full SBS, which contains each eye in full resolution, or Half SBS, which contains each eye in subsampled half resolution. Full SBS videos are noticeably higher quality, but take up more hard drive space and more graphics power to play.)
• 180 or 360 degree video: These types of video are fairly new, but you can check out lots of them on YouTube or download them from other sources. On your 2D monitor, you can use the mouse to drag the video around to see different views, but played on an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, you can actually look around using your headset’s head tracking. It’s very cool.
• Full VR video: This format combines 3D and 180 or 360 degree footage for a completely immersive, 3D, head-tracking experience. You can buy videos like this at different places around the web, like VideoBlocks or watch a few for free on YouTube.

To add your video to the app’s player, download it and then connect your phone to your computer. Open iTunes and select your device. Under your device’s content options, click Apps and scroll down in the pane on the right. You’ll see a list of all installed apps and a separate list of apps that you can add files to. Select Homido Player here and scroll down until you see the ‘Add File’ button. Click it, navigate to your file and select it, and then wait for it to be added to your device. You do not need to sync your phone to iTunes.

Once you’ve set the movie to play, just insert your phone into the headset and enjoy. Make sure you turn the 360 degree option off and switch to the ‘flat’ option. SBS should be kept Off if you need the app to split your movie into two windows, and ‘On’ if you don’t need to split the movie. Here’s what it looks like in the Homido player.

b. For Android users, there’s AAA VR Cinema. The app is excellent if your headset has no action buttons of any sort. It can split a video into two windows and you can navigate the app with head gestures. Adding a file to it easy; just copy it to your device.

- Distance between eyes: use the top-wheel to adjust the distance between the eyes to get the clearest possible image.
