problems setting up for VR

[Timax135]

Hi,
I have just purchased a Deim VR viewer and am wondering why it won't set up properly. To be fair, the instructions for setting it up are rubbish to say the least so i have been in dialogue with Alegol who distribute the vr viewer. I attached the NFC sticker to the inside and downloaded NFC tools, I then scanned in the qr code for deim viewer. When i put the Nexus 6p into the viewer, the screen doesn't rotate to allow me to use the bluetooth controller to use the apps without taking the phone out of the viewer housing and manually clicking on an app that i wish to view. I have the settings of the phone set to rotate but it doesn't rotate when inserted into the viewer which means that the bluetooth cursor is back to front ie mouse up is click left mouse down click right, it is a nightmare. Can anyone help with this problem please

I'm not familiar with that hardware.... does it use the Google Cardboard app or does it have its own app?

Chinese device I think, there's a few of these VR phone headset things. Usually use their own proprietary apps, not Google Cardboard. Definitely be worth trying it with the Cardboard app though. Probably a bug with its own app on the Nexus phone. Contact the manufacturer or vendor, see if they have an update or can suggest anything else.

the device came with no qr code so i had to e mail the retailer, they sent me the qr code for the deim viewer, it didnt work they then sent me the qr code for 360 degree googles which works sort of. I think i might have wasted my money with these, the BT controller is next to useless and i have to take the device out of the viewer and manually start everything. Oh well...lesson learned i think

You might want to try out the Google Cardboard app to see if you can at least do something with the VR unit.

I have tried my friends Gear VR and it is awesome, watched the Assassins Creed Syndicate Jack the ripper trailer and it was mind blowing, tried it on my deim and it was aweful
