What do you need
Before you can start your VR cinema you have to make a few choices regarding:
- VR device
VR Sync works with most devices, but you should check the FAQ page to see if it works with your weapon of choice. We recommend the Oculus Go as it is an all-in-one headset that is also user friendly. - 360° content
You need your content. Without a film there can be no cinema. You can create your own 360° content with the help of a 360° camera or you can let a company create it for you. It is also possible to buy 360° content or watch existing 360° videos on YouTube. - A VR Sync license
To start working with the VR Sync software you need a license. You can get a free trial, but this is only active for a week with a maximum of 10 devices. - Extra options
VR Sync offers additional features besides enabling synchronised playback. You can add subtitles, a customized welcome room, spatial audio and you can send messages to users while they are in the VR modus.
You also have to bear in mind that you need an internet connection for VR Sync to work. If you have no access to an internet connection on your location you can use the VR Sync box. This is a local network that can run on any location.
Once you have decided on your VR device, content, license and potential extra options, you are almost ready to start your VR cinema.
