CINEVR

The theater environment is probably my favorite of all the theater environments I've seen in multiple apps but CineVR is useless to me since it wont see my network to let me choose my own files. Back to Bigscreen and SkyBox VR. I see 3 year old reviews of people complaining they can't get their own files to show and 3 years later still an issue. I guess the devs gave up. Shame, I really love that theater design! Can't recommend this as it is now.

It would be more cool if they made it so everyone was watching the same movie like a real movie theater. Netflix should so do that. If you have Netflix you can go to vr Netflix movie theaters. hahah

Игра CINEVR – это интересная попытка скрестить виртуальную реальность с кинотеатром, и в целом у нее это неплохо получается. Возможность смотреть фильмы, сидя в импровизированном 3D-кинотеатре, на огромном экране и с окружением, которое меняется в зависимости от выбранной локации, создает приятный эффект присутствия. Особенно впечатляют локации на природе и в космическом пространстве. Однако, минусы тоже есть. Качество стриминга часто оставляет желать лучшего, особенно при просмотре фильмов в высоком разрешении. Интерфейс немного неуклюжий и требует привыкания. Ассортимент фильмов пока не самый большой и зависит от различных VOD-сервисов к которым можно подключиться. В целом, CINEVR – это интересная VR-киноплощадка, которая имеет потенциал стать отличным способом просмотра фильмов дома. Ей нужна оптимизация производительности и увеличение библиотеки фильмов. Если разработчики продолжат работать над улучшением, то CINEVR может стать маст-хэв приложением для любителей кино и VR.

Tried it with the HP Reverb G2 and the latest WMR controllers. ( Ones without the touch-pad ). It works fine with the exception of the theater selection option. I have to hold down the grab button on either controller and flick the WMR stick left or right for it to move after a massive input delay. Way too much trouble than it's worth. I also have the original WMR controllers with the touch-pad and that doesn't work at all. No pointer appears with the theater lobby and I can't select anything at all. Very frustrating experience to say he least. Too bad really because it looks like alot of work went into creating the theaters just to fall short on something so minor like menu selections. I have mixed feelings about this app because it does work with the default theater and my HP Reverb G2 WMR controllers but I can't select another theater to try because of the massive input delays and random crashes. If you use the default theater you should be ok but it leaves much to be desired. I will give it a thumbs up because the potential is there, just needs a little polishing. I was able to navigate into my system directories and playback HD standard videos and 3D VR videos without a problem.

so my review on this since the new update 4 months ago did a big improvement i like the lobby added feature and i will say that the graphics and clarity are better than Bigscreen Beta now i dont know whats up with showing my own movies on my pc it lets me but if i invite a friend or party into the room they said they cant see the movie its blank and says the master is watching a movie in private but if i just do a trailer off this app they can see it? so idk whats up with that but def needs fixed and the theatres are a bit pricey to buy they should be 3.00usd.... so until that party issue is fixed i cant recommend this app right now till devs fix then i will update my review

CineVR is awesome! It is able to play Full-SBS/TB 3D movies from your PC in a massive cinema. Works great with my Odyssey+ headset. The video is super smooth and the sound is great through both headset and external speakers. This is how I'm going to watch 3D movies from now on even though I have a 3D TV! Other apps I tried: I tried Bigscreen Beta and while it looks a bit more polished, playing 24p movies is extremely juddery as it captures your desktop with 30fps and it does only support Half-SBS/TB 3D unless you have a 4k Monitor I guess. I also tried Skybox which works great but has washed out colors on Odyssey+. Edit: This issue is fixed now (ver 2.0.1) Possible improvements: - One thing that bugs me is the brightness of the audience. It looks like the avatars are not effected by the movie's ambient lighting. Especially in dark scenes they glow like everyone is playing with their smartphone, while I try to enjoy the movie. Please FIX this or provide a button to disable the audience or simply not render them. - I don't really care for the social feature at least until now where everyone is watching their own movie in the same room. I'd be fine just watching with bots or create a private room with friends instead of having random people automatically joining me during a movie. I mute the audience and myself anyway... Other than that I recommend to try this app if you like watching movies especially 3D movies in a big Cinema and have a decent vr headset. It's FREE although you can support the developer by buying popcorn :D. If you're on a PC I recommend to use supersampling as it gives you that extra clarity for movies. I was able to turn on 5x SS on my beafy machine. Keep up the great work! EDIT: No longer works with WMR headsets, can't get past the login screen. Why do I need an account anyway, if I just want to stream my own movies....
