Second VR

Support

Second VR turns your iPhone and a phone headset into a private cinema for your own 3D and VR videos. Stream from your NAS over SMB or open files from your iPhone. It plays side-by-side and top-bottom 3D, 180° and 360° VR and 180° fisheye, with head tracking and lens correction.

Common questions

• I have no headset or NAS. Tap “Play demo video (3D test clip)” on the home screen to see the 3D view.
• The picture looks wrong. Open the headset settings and pick the right layout (side-by-side, top-bottom, 180°, 360°, fisheye). The app remembers the choice per file. Adjust eye spacing and lens values to fit your headset.
• My NAS is not listed. Allow Local Network access when iOS asks, make sure the phone is on the same network, or enter the address by hand. SMB 2 or newer must be enabled on the NAS.
• Controls with the headset on. Look down to show the control panel and hold your gaze on a button. Tap to pause, double tap to recenter, press and hold to exit.
• A video does not play. H.264 and HEVC in MP4, MOV or MKV are supported, and AV1 in MP4 or MKV. Inside the headset you can choose the audio language and subtitles. DTS and Dolby TrueHD audio tracks are not supported: pick another track if the video has one.
• Does it need internet? No. The app only connects to the NAS servers you add.
