Thanks, I tried this already but Iām too stupid to generate a working QR code. Could you post your QR code?
Yes, I planned to share my findings as soon as I get the website working for me. Unfortunately, I have no other Browser installed at the moment. With which browser did you get your results?
I tried Firefox and the old Internet Explorer that came with Windows7. With Firefox I canāt see the QR code. With IE, however, I can see it. Google recommend (of course) Chrome. But I think Iām unable to understand how the generator really works and how I have to adjust the parameters in order to fix this dpi issue.
Iāve tried creating one:
While it looks fine in the calibration tool in the browser, the cardboard app is still giving me teensy graphics. Iām not convinced this fixes the dpi issue; if anyone manages to create a qr that does, please do post it.
On a separate note, my cardboard viewer has indirect touch (basically a triangle of cardboard on a lever with some conductive material glued to it) so it works fine without bluetooth and without magnets. The FP2 screen is quite sensitive and the fit is indeed tight so there are a few false positives but itās adequate. That viewer (and others like it) are cheap and cheerful on amazon (under a tenner).
Thanks for your trial, but Iām afraid you got as far as I got 
The picture on the splitscreen is still so tiny, that itās absolutely useless In fact, the picture that this generator generates on my screen, makes use of the whole screen, so it isnāt affected by this software āmisunderstandingā.
Nevertheless, I read that people where able to cope with the fact that their phones report wrong DPI values by entering āwrongā values in this generator. Or is it just a rumour?
Hi there 
here is my attempt:
Please report back if it is working. The distortion coefficients are lens dependent. It looks fine on my Dive.
If that is not the case for you, try fiddeling with those parameterā¦ rest of my variables are set as follows:
- Button Type - Magnet
- Screen to lens distance (mm) 75
- Inter-lens distance (mm) 150
- Screen vertical alignment - bottom
- Tray to lens-center distance (mm) 90
- Distortion coefficients k1 and k2 0.01

Youāre my hero! I havenāt tried it with my headset yet, because Iām on holidays until February 10th, but it looks sooooo good on the screen. The size seems to be perfect.
So get a nice scare with āSistersā (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.otherworld.Sisters&hl=de), the only mini game I know and like, because itās the only one that would run more or less smoothly on FP1ā¦

@Irina_Spitznagel nice to hear it worked 
@BeMiGro your topic got a little off. Sorry for that. 
Feel free to ask any questions.
Did you already own a VR Headmount Gadget or are you planning on buying one?
I confirm it worked like a charm ! Thanks !
@Eagle5, actually, Iām glad it went this way. Questions were answered which I didnāt even know they could be asked. 
I donāt own a VR headset yet, but Iām thinking about buying one. Iām not sure if I already want to invest the money for a Durovis Dive. Are you fine with your Dive (besides the volume button issue)?
I was more thinking about something cheaper and nearer to the original Cardboard for a first try. But Iām still open for recommendations.
So just go ahead discussing, Iām interested in everything all of you might knowā¦
I have this cheap plastic one http://www.pearl.de/a-ZX1523-1059.shtml?query=virtual+reality and itās quite cool, but I would rather recommend one with a switch.

I tried with naked eyes, wellā¦ it worksā¦ the same way you can watch stereogram books like 'magic eyeā
but strong headache coming after 5 mins
Anyone can recommend a good headset that would work great with the FP2 ? If I understood well, to start a video, you must unmount the phone from the set, touch the screen, then remount it ? Or is there an easier way ?
Thanks
I can recommend the Mr. Cardboard headset http://de.mrcardboard.eu/. It has a hole in the bottom so you can use your finger on the touchscreen, if necessary.
Great ! I will try.
Sorry but I had another question which I forgot to write :
For short-sighted eyes like mine, can it be used with glasses ? Or, can we set the optical focus to fit our vision, as can be done with regular binoculars ?
They say
āI wear glasses. Can I use POP! CARDBOARD? POP! CARDBOARD is for everyone. Of course depending on your glasses, you can generally use all versions of the Cardboard.ā
But Iām not sure ? Did anyone try it ?

Yes, I wear glasses as well and there is no problem with them.

I tried Mr Cardboard, its awesome ! Thanks !
Did anyone manage to take a āphotosphereā with default camera app ? I get very bad results, many features overlap. Is there a way to use this function ? Or a better app ?
Thanks
Iāve tried it two times inside my room and the results are, letās say, very funny 
. But I think Iāll still have to practice and learn how to take the pictures in the right order. And/or try it again in an open space. As far as I know, there is no other app that can take photospheres. Iāve spend quite a long time searching for oneā¦
Motivated by your post, I just came back from a walk where I took a lot of photospheres. Some are pretty good. Only minor stiching faultsā¦ I also found a good app to watch them Tao360. Itās a bit slow, but works totally with head movements only
Yeah, I also conclude that itās meant for outside use.
Unless you live in a big castleā¦
Calibrating the camera can also improve the results, so that the 360th and 1st degree are aligned.
How do you calibrate the camera?
