About Orbulus, for Cardboard VR

Thank you for looking at our app. Its hands free, designed for and works with Google Cardboard using the latest Cardboard SDK and works really well with all other Smartphone VR Viewers. You control, just by looking at things. Experiment, have fun.


This new app has many old favourite locations from the ability to stand on Mars, visiting the Salt Flats, New Year’s Fireworks on Hong Kong Harbour or chill looking at the Northern Lights. Many new delights await including caverns, Bond moments and new iconic locations from around the world.


Relax, Enjoy, Share and Review.


If you do have any problems please contact us before giving us 1 star. A number of devices do not like the large textures we have to use. We will supply you with your own lite version.


Instructions
1. Use WiFi
2. Install
3. Wait for the data download to complete
4. Run the app
5. Crank up the sound or use headphones
6. Relax you have time to insert your phone into your case
7. Look at a Photo Sphere to choose
8. Look down to exit
9. When in a Photo Sphere you can zoom by moving your ear to your right shoulder
zoom out by moving your ear to your left shoulder
10. Relax and enjoy

This has been specifically optimized for the Google Cardboard, but works really well with the DODOcase Smartphone VR Viewer (http://goo.gl/jZNl6y), the Durvios Dive (http://goo.gl/UE5f4Z) and the Stooksy VR. If you have any Smartphone VR Viewer (Cardboard or Plastic) you will enjoy this experience. Crank up the sound or use those headphones!


General Information, thanks and credits
The Photo Sphere community has produced some fantastic pieces of photography and until now have been limited to displaying them on flat screens. Virtual Reality technologies are changing this. Orbulus puts you in the center of the composition. We are presenting many of the best examples of this work from around the world, with the creators permissions, for you to enjoy at your own pace.

Enjoy.

Your team is doing a great work keep it up☺

F70%
by F####:

The hands free interface is a must for most headsets and the sound is a joy to the senses. I'd prefer flat previews though, dedicated thumbnails an a pop-up description perhaps. Something that really need to be improved is the display, wavy lines are not good. As a 360 photographer I'd also like to be able to replace the content with my own, like with the Gear VR.

K70%
by K####:

this is so bad that both screens drift independently meaning the vision ends up looking like your cross eyed cause both screens drift so far appart there not in the same spot on the picture anymore.

Z70%
by Z####:

Not sure what is it useful for... It has a very cool interface but you are able to view only preset panoramas and there is no option to load your own... Also all panoramas are flat not 3D and the quality odf image is rather averadge... I's a pitty as with this interface the app could be really outstanding bit right now it's just 'browse it once and forget'... To have it really great just add an option to browse and view users panoramas and support 3d panoranas - you can make this options as paid version

U70%
by U####:

Working on Z3 Compact now, thanks for looking into that guys. However, image often skips around, making it hard to view/select when looking straight ahead. Very strange behavior, otherwise getting better!

Crashes on launch. I see the initially loading cube then it crashes. I'm using Samsung S6 edge. Any help? I'd love to give this a go.

U70%
by U####:

Crashes on a huawei phone android kitkat also the cube loading animation is slow and should only be shown on the first time boot of app not everytime edit: had to clear cache and data of app, wirks now

by U####:

This app filled a hole in my heart I was only vaguely aware existed! 10/10 would lose themselves in the music, the moment... mom's spaghetti.

U70%
by U####:

Good app. I really like the interface. The only thing that this needs is the ability to display user created photospheres. I have been experimenting and the only app that I can find that works to view my images is the 360 viewer in the cardboard demo app. If I could get a sphere wall of my images it would rock!

U70%
by U####:

This version doesn't seem to work on the Nexus 5X. Displays splash screen, then alignment lines, then nothing. Screen is on, but nothing except black background. Tried uninstall/reinstall already. The mojo special edition recommended by the devs does work as an alternate.

C70%
by C####:

Spectacular app! Vast amount of photos and great quality as well. Tested on a bq E5 4G (CM 12.1). Update: v5 is working great (one of the previous ones stopped working so I stopped using it, but now it's fixed!)

U70%
by U####:

It's just a photo gallery of spherical photos. They're all plain flat 2D photos too, not stereo (both eyes just see the same image).

U70%
by U####:

I can't even get past the boot screen. Restarted phone and still crashes.

Q70%
by Q####:

I know it is a work in progress, so congrats are in order. It is lovely. But I do wish I could rotate the spheres to get the full 360°. Both when choosing and inside of the orbs. I want to see what is behind me. And bring the ones I want to look at in front of me. Used with an LG G4.

D70%
by D####:

Works on Google Nexus 5 after restarting the phone. Perfectly good app, would be perfect if you could add your own photospheres..

R70%
by R####:

Same problem as other recent nexus 5 reviews. We build vr loading screen happens. Then black screen with alignment lines and no further progress.

A good app.

U70%
by U####:

It's really good but the zoom thing, where you tilt your head to zoom, is incredibly annoying. I hate trying to look around and enjoy a scenery and it keeps on zooming in and out. It needs to be able to be disabled, the I'll give this 5 stars.

*edited post-reply* Thank you for the reply! Tour spheres are hard to find among all the other static ones. Most places unfortunately only have a single image from each location which makes it hard to "loose oneself" in them. Photos are kinda low res and the 3d effect is miniscule since you can't move, only look around. VERY Nice idea though! Adding another star since I missed the tour spheres earlier :)

Hello there, are you planning to give support to ascend p2? Looks really interesting and would like to give it a try. Thanks!

But is there any plans to add barrel distortion in the future? That would make it perfect!
