Roller Coaster download for Gear VR?

Hi all. Sorry if this has already been discussed elsewhere, but wondering if anyone has used this roller coaster download, or something similar, on their Gear VR?

The clip is hilarious and something I'd love to try on my friends and relatives lol

    What's the name of the roller coaster demo for the Gear VR ???
  • there are no roller coasters for Gear VR, only for cardboard. You can run them on Gear VR but they do not use the extra sensors and do not attain a high enough framerate to be a comfortable experience. I didn't mind so much, it's just a rough ride. Some people really didnt like it though, so beware.

    Is Oculus maybe holding back rollercoaster demos because of the fear of people getting too dizzy? Because i thought that Lava inc should have been released for Gear VR by now.

    Yes I have the same impression. So many stationary experiences for the Gear VR. They just want to go slow with people.

    Thanks for all your help guys. Maybe I'll wait until an actual Gear VR version is released. Don't want to make anyone sick lol

    Ughhhh i would rather ride any of the cardboard rollercoasters, then look at more of the milk videos. Especially all the moving skydiving ones. #barf :twisted:

    Agreed Samsung is happy about any company investing in VR and delivering content for them but Milk VR needs a rating system ASAP, so that videos which are great and don't do mistakes like cylindical video, shaky cam, view turns without head turns by the users, ect. get a higher rating and are displayed more prominantly.

    And Oculus shouldn't hold back rollercoaster demos (in case they really do), as some people (many) are looking to show something thrilling to others and there is a comfort rating in place after all and they could add an additional warning that some people might get dizzy or feel uncomfortable (but that is also true for a real roller coaster).
  • Hi folks, Brand new to the Gear VR. After buying Cmoar Rolloer Coaster from Google Play Store,  I don't understand how to actually play it using the Gear VR headset...?
