I need some help on this 360 with Gear VR and vrto.me

Hi,

We did this panorama https://goo.gl/x6kCvG for some clients using VRto.me website (this is why I didn't post in Corona VR thread).

I have tested it with google cardboard and it works just fine (I just have to modify the overlap to 1.15, I think it was)
My clients who have a presentation today and of course they did not test it before called me to say the image is distorted and provokes dizziness  with the default settings for the S8+SMR325 headset.

Can anybody try it on gear VR (i don't have one) and let me know if there are some settings that work better than the defaults?

Thanks!

It seemed ok to me - depends how they are viewing it, maybe? I went into the Oculus system, ran the Oculus browser, entered the URL (sooo tedious lol), then used the "Cardboard" icon on the web page to turn it into a full view, and I didn't see any issues with it.

(tested on an S7, and original GearVR headset, but I doubt either should make a difference... may depend on what browser / viewing app they are using, is my main thought here)

Thank you for testing it Tom!

 I'll try suggesting them to use the oculus browser , i think they were following the instructions on the website http://www.vrto.me/en/headsets

If not maybe there is an issue with the exact model of the headset they are using.

Ah so that was to change into "Cardboard" mode by disabling the Oculus / GearVR system by the look of what it says there. Does make it easier to type in the weblink, as you can do that in the phone's keyboard before inserting it into the GearVR - using the Oculus browser you have to type in VR, not a problem if you have someone to read the URL to you, but fiddly when it's just you and you have to keep taking the GearVR off to read the next few characters to type in :) However, you only have to do it once, if that's the only thing that will be running on the device!
