=== CAPTATIO BENEVOLENTIAE
There is no company or money of sorts behind this app: it's something I did in my spare time. If you like it, consider leaving a review or at least rating it.
Also, my interests have shifted and I'm not working on this app anymore (I'm very sorry) but I update it from time to time to keep it working.

Enjoy your own 2D and 3D movies in a virtual cinema, for free (it also supports panoramic 360° and 180° movies)!
Full Virtual Reality: turn your head around and watch the environment.
2 (honestly bare) 3D environments, and dozens of photographic ones to choose from.
Works with all mp4 files (and with a bit of luck other formats...), can play movies from the web and other applications.
Supports many 3D movie formats, like SBS, Over/Under and Red-Cyan anaglyph, but plays normal 2D movies as well.
No ads, no in-app payments or statistics gathering: 100% free for personal use!
Doesn't require buttons on the headset to work.
Make yourself at home: check the "Options" menu and configure the theater as you like!
The movie represented on the virtual screen ("Elephants Dream" (c) copyright 2006, Blender Foundation / Netherlands Media Art Institute / www.elephantsdream.org), can be freely downloaded in both SBS and over/under version at the URL: https://orange.blender.org/blog/elephants-dream-in-stereoscopic-3d
Hi, and thank you for sticking with this app!
I now maintain the app only (my interests have shifted a while ago: sorry!).
In this release, I have fixed a problem with the loading of photographic environments and enabled VR Theater for new Android devices.
For practical reasons, I also increased the minimum Android version to use the app to 6.0.
Have a good VR!
Still there? I can't believe someone is using this app, after all this time!
Google gave up on Cardboard and Daydream, but I'm glad you didn't: thank you!
This update fixes a bug that made the app crash on Android 11 and, possibly, introduces new ones.
Kudos to Greg L. for pointing the problem out.
This is just a quick update of the Google VR libraries.
The app should now have better 64-bit support and include possible improvements from Google.
I also updated the "target level" to Android to Pie (don't bother). What will happen? Beats me…
Thank you for using VR Theater and have a great day!
Countdown for the new year, and there is a little treat for you!An all time requested feature in this version, a new seek-bar for nonpanoramic movies, and it has a lot of options too!Have the Best 2018!Riccardo
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Release!- add an option in the "General" section: you can now watch movies in inverted landscape orientation- fix many bugsThank you, and Happy Holidays (wherever applies)!
New in this version:- remove the pre-rendering option (which I did already messed up completely. Like 4 versions ago…)- the option tabs can now be selected by tapping on the title tab- Google VR SDK updated to version 1.101.0 (prepare for unforeseen consequences…)- fixed a typo in the documentation
