Gionee m5. Does it support VR?

bravesoul247:
All those VR headsets use the smartphone as a display device. But, it is worth to note that you cannot use all the devices in that VR display. Your smartphone must support the Virtual Reality thing in order to use as a display in those VR headsets.
If you are planning to buy a virtual reality headset or VR Headset that uses a smartphone as a display, it is worth to check if you have a virtual reality compatible phone. In this post, we are adding few ways to check if your phone supports Virtual Reality headset.

*Requirements

Before you check VR compatible smartphone, you should know the basic requirements for a phone to support virtual reality headset. The phone should have Gyroscope sensor for any VR apps to work in it. The Gyroscope is a sensor that provides orientation information with greater precision. Other important things are Magnetic Field Sensor and Internal Compass. The Magnetic field sensor is capable of sensing the magnetic field of the earth ( by using Halls effect) and helps in determining the Direction. Using the navigation app with magnetic Compass turned on, the navigation will be more precise.

*Main components of the phone to support VR headset:

Gyroscope
Magnetic Field Sensor
Internal Compass (recommended)
NFC (optional)

*How to check if your phone supports Virtual Reality headset

These are few ways to check if your phone supports virtual reality.
1. Freefly VR
Freefly VR is a website which has compiled the list of smartphones which are compatible with VR headsets. You can check this website to see if your smartphone is listed there. In case, your smartphone is not listed, you can still have a chance. So, try the next way.

2. Google Cardboard or other apps to check
Open Play Store and search for ‘Cardboard’ app by Google. This app comes with a demo of VR. If your phone is compatible this app, your phone will support virtual reality headset. To be surer, you can also test with other third-party apps like SensorBox, EZE VR and VR Checker.
Apps Download Links:
Download SensorBox from Google Play
Download EZE VR from Google Play
Download VR checker from Google Play
With these two methods, you can easily check if your phone supports VR headsets.
Another good way to check is the ability to play 360-degree videos. If your phone supports 360-degree videos on YouTube and Facebook, your phone will also support virtual reality headsets.

MizMyColi:
I first experienced VR tech on a device called VSUN.
It was a scary thing for me.
Honestly, I hate virtual realities.
So when I saw that VR is also enabled on my Camon CX via google services, I didn't bother setting up.
Those that like it can do it if it's enabled on their device, but for yours truly?
It's a No No!

Very soon everyone will live in virtual reality as in exist there while they just sit at home. VERY SOON.

DjAndroid:
dem dey use am watch video?

Yeah..3D videos

true. but sometimes its as a result of poor configuration. for Google cardboard, you can reconfigure it to suit your eyes.

If you don't have gyroscope on your device, there is an xposed module that simulates gyroscope using both magnetic and compass sensors. it works well on some phones and not so well on others

Just finish watching conjuring 2 on my vr headset.... Mehn the shit is so real... You'll feel ya self inside the building
