About Space VR demo for Cardboard

This application allows the wearer of a Google Cardboard headset to explore a 3D virtual reality world. The player has full control over attitude, speed and direction of movement.

It is suitable for devices with no gyroscope, the Moto G for example, as it instead employs the device's compass for attitude control.

While the app requires the Cardboard headset, it does not use the Cardboard API and does utilise the device's native compass for orientation purposes, rather than the gyroscope. This means that the magnet in the Cardboard headset will likely need to be removed since it can affect the device's compass readings from several centimetres away. In this app, you tap the device or nod your head instead of flicking that magnet.

Requires: Google Cardboard headset (minus the magnet), accelerometer (most Android devices), compass. No ads and no internet connection required.

Credits to NASA and ESA for the models and space sounds, and to Chris Hadfield for the space singing. Given that they were freely available, so in turn will this app.
Major tools used: Libgdx, Eclipse, OpenGL, Blender, FBXCONV.

I'm running this on an LG Tribute 2. It's working very decently with Google Cardboard Pro v2. I'm happy with it. I gave it 4 stars because it could have more details. Please let me know when you upgrade it.

One of the first apps I found (and I tried a lot of them ! ) that REALLY gives a true 360° VR experience on a phone that has NO gyroscope (Huawei G700). The graphics are not that spectacular but the VR movement works fine. I tested it with a cardboard thing - my ritech II helmet is ordered and on its way - I got for free from Honda/McLaren at the local 'fuelyoursenses' VR event. If this developer can make a good VR demo without the use of that stupid gyroscope why are so many other developers keep using the bloody thing ? It's destroying the basic idea behind cheap VR with cardboard devices or 20$ VR helmets. If you first have to buy a + 300€ phone with a gyroscope to enjoy cardboard created VR content then you can better buy an Oculus Rift instead in my opinion. Anyway, this Space VR demo is really great work, as said basic in graphics, but it really does what you expect it should do in VR. You really should try this one !

Great work.Instead of making vr app that does not require gyroscope, please make an app that can use the compass as gyroscope so that we can use all kind of VR apps and watch youtube VR videos.It will very useful for those who dont have gyroscope
