3D seems lame

Hi everyone,

Recently bought this on Amazon - but thinking about returning.

One of the things I LOVED about the concept was that you could watch 3D movies similar to autostereoscopic content. What I found was underwhelming. Watching the trailer for The Hobbit...and Exodus in 3D..I just couldn't see the same quality of 3D as wearing passive glasses and a normal 3D TV...

The 3D seemed dull....and the lower resolution didn't help things much either.

Can you all please share your experiences with these two stock trailers...perhaps it's just me...but the 3D seems vastly weaker on the gear VR.

Sadly, I haven't found a method or app that I trust to pull these videos from YouTube. Any advice?


Try the android app tubemate.

As for 3D on Oculus Gear VR...it's something very important to me. John Carmack said using any file "over 720p" is a waste of power..heat..space...etc but I don't see why more resolution can be a bad thing.



For 2D content 720p is enough for 3D content it should be 1080p.


How exactly do you use Tubemate?? I'm using the S6 and tried this app to get some decent 3d demos from you tube...... But no idea what I'm supposed to do!

Games in 3D rock! Movies- not so much.

Post production 3D is IMO lame. Most (almost all) movies are 2D and then "made" into 3D afterwords.

I find 2D to look fine and do not "yearn" for 3D on the Gear, or in theaters. I also find 2D movies easier on the eyes 🙂
