New Cirque Du Soleil experience?

Hello, there seems to be a new video from Cirque Du Soleil and it's called "Kurios". Well I downloaded it through the phone app and all seemed well until I tried to view it. In the gvr the app would not play, the loading circle just stayed on the screen. So I tried to start it in the phone, I figured I could start it in the gvr like I do with omega agent. This did not work either.
I have never had a problem with starting a app or video with my gvr once I downloaded it through the oculus store. I guess I'm trying to find out if anyone else is experiencing the same problems. BTW, it also shows that there were never any updates.
Have a note 4 using AT&T with lollipop 5.0.1
Thanks for any feedback in advance. ....

So is this available for S6? Not sure why it wouldn't be but not showing up.



Showed up on my S6, i installed from the app on the phone.

I found it at the bottom of the experiences section.

I just watched it for the first time.

WOW!! that was amazing, i never got to see the other one as it wasn't included on the S6 Gear VR .

I'm assuming this is much better as it's a whole scene. One thing i noticed and i'm sure i wasn't imagining it was when the woman who sings to the right of you and her string quartet to the other side when you looked at them they looked back, i tried it loads of times and they really were looking at me. The chap on the double bass looked at me at one point and smiled and nodded towards the rest of the performance to make me look.

I looked back at the woman singing and she looked at me smiling. I'm blown away by this and can't wait for the day we see this kind of thing with excellent quality picture.

Truly amazed and loving my gear VR more each day 🙂

It's just a video, they can't respond to your motions, but it does feel like they are. Really they always look at you (the camera), whether you're looking at them or not.

This VR experience is fantastic.

Forewarning for those who haven't download yet. Cirque is one of those apps that you have to start and have in gear before being given an option to download or stream. Samsung & Oculus should get these types of things sorted out before the consumer release. 2.5GB downloads with the gear on not great experience and download while not on usually stops in most apps.

Actually I was able to start the download from the in-gear app, but then remove the headset and still have the app keep being downloaded in background (with a persistent notification showing me the progress). So not blocking, but indeed could be more confortable to start the download directly from the phone Oculus app.

Can you still download the older Cirque Du Soleil experience? I just got the Gear VR for the S6 and the new experience is in the store, but I can't find the old one anywhere. Any help will be appreciated.

Older Cirque is not available for the S6 Gear vR. Strangers is another video not available for the S6. Not sure why.

If you guys search for Gear VR SD card content, you should be able to still find those.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I LOVE this experience. Just finished going through a third time, and like others said already, I'm seeing something new every time.

And I'm developing something of a crush on the singer. 😄

Well worth the 2.5GB download. Make space however you can!
