How to watch 3D movies on the Samsung Gear VR?

Even it is limited by a rare content store out of the box, the Samsung Gear VR gives a lot of potential. Thanks to Samsung and Oculus it is possible to take in and watch your movies in virtual cinema mode. So how do we accomplish this? Read on the article to learn the method. Watching 3D movies on Samsung Gear VR needs a phone as the display. Here, we take Samsung Galaxy S6 for instance.

            

Step-by-Step guide for watching 3D movies on Samsung Gear VR 

First, you should know the Gear VR by default supports most common file formats including MP4, AVI, and FLV. The movies could be seen in perfect 3D playback should set up in a side-by-side (SBS) format. SBS format means that left and right video channels are placed at same file. When you make sure the 3D movies are accepted by Gear VR, then follow these steps to view your SBS 3D video files on your Gear VR via Galaxy S6:

  • On your MicroSD card file directory, navigate to Oculus > Movies > Your Movies
  • Create a new folder within “Your Movies” and label it “3D”
  • Import or move your side-by-side 3D videos into your newly created “3D” folder.
