Nice, will this work on google cardboard or it is just for the GearVR at present?
Thanks

It will work on Cardboard too. We've already tested a prototype of this. The experience is still not comparable to the Gear VR.
These are the VR platforms in the ORBX media player roadmap once the Gear VR 2.0 apk is published:
Oculus PC/CV1 (mostly done)
Google Project Tango (w/ position tracking for pinned LF media AR etc. ~ 50% done; could possibly work on Shield devices)
Google Cardboard (50% done)
HTC Vive/SteamVR (just got the dev kit - ~25% done)
And after that:
Sony Morpheus ( 120 hz ORBX media native playback, e.g. without frame interpolation)
WebVR (Mozila/Chome/IE via ORBX.js refresh)
HoloLens (Windows 10 UAP refresh of ORBX media player required)
OSVR (may end up being supported via SteamVR)
We are working on ORBX media server module on PC that can use a Kinect or light house to provide additional pos tracking features for untethered devices like the Gear VR.
