Some days ago, I bought a cheap cardboard vr, because a friend said that is great. And yes more or less...it is good this cheap vr.

Well, I have been searching about there is a method to connect the smartphone with linux for to use as oculus rift or something vr system.

Do you know how?

I want to test the linux games and in truth I want to test a 3D desktop...this is sounds great.

Thanks, regards.

I've tried to do it twice , but i coudn't do it. don't know what the problem was. maybe with my smart.

But...How? Which app in android? And which software in Linux?

So far there really isn't any working VR support under Linux, much less so a "bridge" that would allow what you want.

I follow this page for updates: http://www.vronlinux.com/ and there are some interesting developments, but nothing really working AFAIK.

Under windows there is this: https://riftcat.com/vridge which would allow doing what you want. I doubt it is really comparable to a regular headset like the Vive or OSVR though.

P.S.: Try QVR (QuakeVR) on your phone, its pretty cool and open-source. You'll need a controller though.
