Hi Goldorak,

Could we use it as a standalone app, on cardboard in any mobile device for example?

Thanks,
Leo

Can´t wait any longer... it is so nice to read about that new features, but it would be much greater to see them.

My greatest wish would be a good docu how to set up this json files correct...

Thanks! Chriz

The new viewer is available since yesterday.
Beside the documentation - do you have new demos available that show what is possible?

OK, everytime ---> i tried to install the update on the gear vr S6 the file is downloaded and it starts to install, after 2 seconds of installing it shows the "start" button again. And nothing has changed: in the bottom right corner is a update, the same update as before. (Restart reading at the arrow ---->)

Nothing changed when i disconnect the S6 from the Gear and restart everything.

Any suggestions what to do?

Thanks,

Chriz

Try deleting version 1 first, this fixed the error for me.

Thanks Matt, that is what is i did a few minutes ago.

I had to search for the deinstall function, which is only in the NON-VR OculusApp available.

So, now i started the Viewer in VR and.... nothing new. I hoped for some new samples, that will show us the new features used. I guess that will follow after the OC2.

Thanks for the answer.

Best, Chriz
