Home Theater VR is an advanced virtual reality video player and PC
streamer designed to be compatible with nearly every Android phone
and headset.
Note: This is a paid app but you can use it in trial mode for as long as you want to evaluate it before purchasing.
A Unique VR Theater Experience
Home Theater VR is unlike any VR player you've used before. It was designed to be different and offer unmatched flexibility and features.
You have the ability to control everything about the app from inside the app without being dependant on any external VR services. It doesn't use Cardboard Daydream GearVR or anything else so all adjustments including IPD are handled using the built-in settings.
