Description

This app is useful both for those who do and do not have a VR headset yet. Check if your smartphone is able to run virtual reality (VR) applications if you want to purchase a VR headset. Calibrate your VR headset + smartphone pair for most comfortable VR experience.

★ If you DO NOT have a VR headset:
Just run this app and see if your smartphone is capable to run VR applications. Please note the FPS label on the bottom left corner of your screen - if you move the phone and see there around 60fps (60 frames per second) while image is moving correctly to match your device position then you are ready to go!

★ If you DO have a VR headset:
Did you ever stuck with calibration of your VR headset with your smartphone? Do you see a distorted or displaced image? Or even worse, do you feel giddy or feel that your eyes are trying to become closer/wider? You may find a lot of QR codes in the Internet for your Cardboard application setup but most of the time they do not fit well to your VR headset + smartphone pair. Now with this app you can use these QR codes as a starting point for your devices calibration. Once the code is scanned by the Cardboard app (tap the settings button at the bottom of the screen while running this application) you may inspect all the Cardboard profile parameters and adjust them on the fly without a PC.

▲ Warning: all changes made with this tool are NOT saved anywhere and will NOT affect your smartphone's Cardboard profile directly. Once you are happy with the VR viewer parameters please visit the official Cardboard profile generator page (https://vr.google.com/cardboard/viewerprofilegenerator/) to create a new VR viewer profile based on your discovered parameters.

▲ Warning: many VR applications (but not all of them) are based on the Google Cardboard SDK. The present VR calibration tool helps you to achieve the best experience in these applications. You may find all supported VR applications on your smartphone by running the Cardboard application and inspecting the "My library" section.

5 ★ I made my own vr box with 100 mm convex lens and this app help me to got write calibration vision. But until now l cannot use the right parameters in the google viewer RQ generator web site due to error in this web site. If you have way to sit this parameters direct in the cardboard app from your app will be very great.

5 ★ App is working but i still can't figure out what i need to observe in this app? Do i need to configure it so i can see all 8 digits or what?

5 ★ Works fine on one z3 compact, weirdly on the other! Just get a weird double cone effect in each sbs image, almost like I'm looking at the display from the side rather than the end, pics available if needed Rating updated as working well on one phone, and great support from dev :)

5 ★ This app is amazing. After finding the site to enter the parameters it was a cinch to use cardboard apps on my VR. Not what someone would do if they didnt have a spare smartphone to scan the code with but if you do it's an easy process to setup and generate a code

5 ★ The best app for VR headset calibration at the moment. This is a must app for all VR users. Sure, you then have to go punch in the numbers in the Google cardboard website to get your personal QR code, but that's fine and you only do it once.

1 ★ Doesn't work on a brand new ZTE Axon 7. Not sure if it's related to the Cardboard app somehow because that app crashes on and off on both this phone and my Galaxy S4.

4 ★ App is useful for helping to determine your setting requirements. Would be truly awesome if you could download the parameters directly to the software in Cardboard instead of having to generate a QR. Not sure why Google prevents users from tweaking the settings directly.

2 ★ I don't know.. I set everything to look normal, generated code, scanned it, opened some game to test it, and I'm getting "double vision" and my eyes hurt as f*** after second when I use it on any other game or app

1 ★ this app is clear but when i configure my vr to it all apps again become unclear

2 ★ I have drift in my VR view how can I use this to fix?? I am not able to see any options due to the drift

1 ★ I'm still wondering for a QR code for my vr...plz just help me..

1 ★ Does not work on Sony z5 premium in 4k

3 ★ Oye Oye how to go back to English? Stuck in Russian

5 ★ Works great! Exactly what I was looking for!

1 ★ Just a black screen. Pointless.
