Awesome app! Congrats!

It would be great to be able to split the screen in order to use some VR headset like the Google cardboard. That way another person can espectate with goggles too, and it shouldn't be difficult to implement.

Cheers!

We would need to first setup a proper UI, but I like the idea :)

I haven't touched my Occulus in a while, but you should just be able to run the .apk in "TV mode" on the Quest.

Well I didn't mean a proper VR headset like the Oculus, I meant a cheap Cardboard headset where you put your phone inside.

This would be just perfect! You could use any cheap vr headset for phones!
And indeed just split te image, nothing fancy.

@jlucidar maybe you've seen it already but have a look at this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vertile.fpv3d&hl=en&gl=US

@jlucidar I'd like to take a stab at adding this feature if you think that's cool. Have you heard of anyone else attempting this yet? I bought a VR headset phone holder that I can test with.

Go for it! No one has been working on this yet as there are higher-priority issues 🙂

Have you tried this with the digiview app?

@jlucidar I have a branch ready to push to a PR, but when I try to push it says I don't have permission. Do you know what the problem might be? Also, FYI I switch to this account for adding this feature as the other one was my work account.
here's a quick video showing switching from normal view to VR view via the prefs:

You are not a member of this repo, so you need to fork it and change your remote url then push there and open a PR from your own forked repo.

Looks just perfect! Can't wait to try it out! Did you add a zoom function? Some phone/vr goggle combination need to zoom out a bit for it to fit on the screen while using the goggles.
This app is a good example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vertile.fpv3d&hl=en&gl=US

You can zoom out, makes the 2 screens smaller. So it looks good while using the goggles.

@ybjlus thanks - yes I plan to add that after some in the field testing. at the moment it's only zoomed in the way that you see in my video. using it that way made me really queezy actually and was difficult to get the images lined up right in the goggles. will look into your suggestion, thanks!

@0TheRain0 your work is really appreciated! Hope you get it working. If you need any help testing, I'm happy to help out.
