Tao360 - ENJOY!! RICOH THETA for Android
Two sides on my nexus 6 are too close to each other unlike the sample photos here which are well focused. And the fact that my vr viewer is unable to adjust focus, so please fix it or if there's a way to configure the side by side view.
Would be nice if it didn't keep crashing. Just keeps saying app has stopped responding as I'm viewing a photo. Hope the bugs can be worked out.
Among all VR viewing apps I've used, this one seems the best. The viewing icons, if larger, would improve viewer experience, in the choice of selection. Needs some polishing. The spheri-photos aren't in chronological order, cannot view the spheri-videos.
Update is much better, thanks! Pls add support for 3D 360 top & bottom format videos. Pls add a folder & menu for non spherical 3D side-by-side photos & videos.
plays pics but not 360 video. The videos that appears in the menu arent 360 video. I dont know where to change where it pull s these videos from. So i opened my gallery and selected the video I want and open in tao360. it dosent playback side by side. but one on top of the other. using theta s and galasy s5
This is the best way to view 360 movies captured with your Theta S through cardboard or gear VR headset. No image resolution lost! If you try putting your videos on YouTube 360, they'll work but for some reason Google further compress the upload video and further crops the final output resulting in very poor quality HD resolution.
The description makes it sound like it does but it doesn't you still have to stitch the video before you can play it. But onced stitched on a computer first it does play it well. Hard to choose video as the sample picture is too small
RICOH THETA S. Now I can create a VR video and use my Google Cardboard without having to upload it to YouTube. Thank you so much for this app! For those looking for the same thing just prep your video as if you were going to upload it to YouTube. Instead put it on your phone. You video should show up in the app menu. If not, find the video using your file manager app. Choose Tao360 app to open as a spherical video and there you go. BTW, Video play will loop.
Unfortunately, with my phone / cardboard combination, I'm seeing double vision. Please allow option to calibrate picture with the cardboard you are using.
When playing the videos on my Samsung Gear VR in this app it is the best quality I've seen it makes the camcorder on this camera awesome which was the main reason I purchased the camera. Thanks to third party developers for making this happen
Awesome awesome thanks for the theta s to VR picture conversion :) 5 stars if it would work with theta s videos :) please add zoom too with Bluetooth joystick thanks
I'm seeing double
I was just about to write a similiar app but this was just what I was looking for. Great job!
This is a fantastic standard for VR. Put your device into your HMD...I have a HoMiDo(.com), which I highly recommend..and that's it...just look around. Runs great on my Note 4!
Om Sony z3c...
Attempted fresh install, reboot of phone but regardless, the app crashes moments after opening. Uninstalling.
Works as advertised, but framerate is absolutely poor, and loading times are long.
I find that 360 photos are best viewed in a VR experience and this app is the first to make that an easy experience. Nice work on pioneering this space. A couple of things that would be nice to improve.... It would be nice if the thumbnails were larger on hover over. It is hard to tell what photo is being selected from the preview thumbnail now... Sorting images by date or location could also help with finding things more easily.
Thanks for sharing. Have a question though. I have bought Ricoh Theta recently, can view the spherical photos using cardboard or your App. However I am not sure how to view Rich video through your App. Can you please share some details?
mantap nih
App crashes on startup.
This works perfect on my galaxy s5, great app, my only criticism is the photo viewer doesn't show thumb nails of my photos, but I'm sure this will be addressed in the next update.
I want to love this so much but there is a huge issue: if a photosphere has only been partially taken (like only a small area was photographed, and the rest left blank like the poles some times be a use you didn't want to complete the photosphere) this app tries to make up the black area by stitching it to the next piece of the photo, heavily distorting some photospheres. PLEASE FIX! This is almost perfect!
Unstable

Runs perfectly, I don't find the app to be unstable or slow on my device. Must have app for any non-carboard vr user. Works fine with theta-spheres as advertized. Only thing I miss are some more options, like a way to set media-folders. Still, a very nice app.
As a Ricoh Theta user , this is a must have apps . Although the Google cardboard can be used to view the image , the viewer function is very limited . This is the only app I found in Google play which directly work with Ricoh Theta . The down side is the apps very unstable and slow , hopefully the app will keep on evolving . Can't wait to see a stable version !
App crashing at startup.
Just recieved my Ricoh Theta and found this new app for VR viewing. So far its worked great and is a nice enhancement for the Theta.
This app is simple and beautiful!
