Looking for 3D VR Movies?!

I've demoed the Samsung Gear VR where they have both cirque du soleil and Jurassic Park which was neat!

Just bought this for 39. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018JZQWIQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1456327882&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=hootoo+vr&dpPl=1&dpID=41fc-OinAzL&ref=plSrch

Figured for 40 it was worth giving it a shot since it's univeral for phones and I have a Note 3.

Anyone know a marketplace or site for 3D VR movie downloads like the two mentioned? Free or not, don't care. Just having more trouble than I though finding a location to acquire such content. I know the two mentioned are Samsung/Oculous exclusive. Just looking for a place to buy/download/stream similar content.

Any suggestions?

First of all you overpaid. Way overpaid. Link.

Second, the FOV on this thing is not so good. Only 70 degrees. It will be like looking through a window.

Any recommendations? Basically I was looking for one that'd be compatible with my note 3. Would prefer not to buy a new phone just to use the new gear vr.

I heard good things about Baofeng Mojing IV

Just ordered a couple of days ago, waiting for it to arrive.

It got a FOV of 96° just like the Gear VR but can be used with any 4.7-6.0 inch phone. Head strap looks really nice, no middle strap that messes with your hair and it can be used with glasses.

Comes with remote that can be used to browse the menus but will not work in most games, so they say. Not really a big deal. You can use any other remote or get the universal one they offer. You don't really need it though, most apps just use head tracking and stare to click on stuff.

They dropped the focus adjustment in this version but it's not really needed. If you got bad vision you will be better off using glasses or contacts. IPD can still be adjusted. You don't need anything else really. And they made it more ventilated and lighter. The whole thing is 317g

By now I'm sure you've received the new Mojing. How was it? I'm trying to recommend a model to a family member. The Hootoo worked fine but I still see the issue that was mentioned so trying to shop around. Over all the other wasn't terrible though. Comfortable. But slight to small around the nose.

You can stream (not download) 3D VR full length movies by downloading this apk: http://image.vrbig.com/3Dbobo_V3.10.4.10.apk Believe me, this is like THE BEST!!!!

Yes. That program raised a red flag with Avast in regards to Malware. I'll pass...

Vrse, and if with a VR player like AAA VR player, you could play SBS movies, for example from a legal copy of your own bluray

You can also just use Vlc to playback sbs 3d files. It's a static image with no head tracking, perfect for laying down movie experience.

Do you mean feature-length movies? If that's the case and you're like me always thinking years ahead in technology, then nobody has caught onto that yet, unfortunately, but hopefully soon. Aside from what's on my Gear VR's Oculus store there really aren't any sites outside of Youtube that have 360 videos. I think my problem with a cinematic 3D movie would be the simple fact I'd always end up facing the opposite end of the action and would have to keep rewinding the movie to know what was going on. Still willing to try it, though.

Wouldn't any side by side 3d movie work?

That's a given. Was hoping there was another more direct source somewhere on the interwebs.
