QHD (2560x1440) headset with phone

Hi.

Today my lg g4 arrived.

My plan is to aquire a cardboard like or even an Vr Zeiss gear and run the phone as a mirrored monitor of my pc screen that will be running content SBS.

So far the only issue is how to stream the data eficiently from pc to the phone.

Wireless:
moonlight apk looks great but I've a GTX560ti and support for wireless transfers starts at GTX600 series.

tried and app
named kiney or kini or somethign similar it did stream but all was bluish, low latency have to say.

Kinoni (another one)
does a pretty decent job, transmiting in full color with low latency. still some compression but hey, looks good.

I found this apk that connects via USB
http://www.usbmobilemonitor.com/home.html

Not tried yet, do not have such cable arround yet, but looks like the most promissing to me. I might not achieve 2k video transfer but still I will not seeing the pixesl so much.

For the content I will build my game with "stereoscopic" for the 2D version instead of using the distorted oculus version.

What you think?



I've seen micro usb to hdmi cables but all these seem to go the oposite way I need.

    While you're experimenting with streaming to phone you could try intugame:

    I've used it for streaming non game stuff to my phone, easy to set up, but I don't have any idea as to how low the latency is relative to the other solutions out there.

    Thanks. Did not know about it. Today an improved cardboad googles arrived. Ran to test some vr apps runing natively in the g4. Duuude. Pixel grid looks totally gone!. Actually the g4 is not 2k but quadHd. I will correct this from title. I've streamed nicely with kinoConsole but with qualityvsperformance mode. I will setup a router to stream via wifi with jus 0.5m distance to get best of it.

    The fov of these cheapo glasses is terrible. Something like 70 or so. Waiting for the ling vr. I suspect that wider fov will provably mean mor visible pixels... I will post about.

    I managed to stream via usb but with terrible glitches as tearing and massive lag.

    Unfortunatelly I do not have a gtx 600 series but a 560 so I can not test Moonlight wich seems to perform superbly.

    Ill keep the thread updated as I discover more stuff.

    Edit 1: that app certainly looks ltimissing!!

    In the related apps vr streamer appeared wich I will test too

    Also Trinus VR is designed to do so, seems to have USB tether. Its paid but seems there is free version.

    Yes, TrinusVR is meant for that (and there is indeed a free version to test), but don't expect it to work at qhd (at least for now, project still under development). Depending on the game and your hardware (cpu) hd is kind of playable. Best results at 1600x900 or lower.
    Still, having a higher res display means less screen door effect, which is nice :)
