Home Theater VR

About Home Theater VR

Home Theater VR is an advanced virtual reality video player, designed to be compatible with nearly every Android phone and headset.
Note: This is a paid app. It has a trial mode that you can use as long as you like to evaluate the app before buying it.

A Unique VR Theater Experience
You'll quickly notice that this app doesn't look or act like other VR cinemas. That's because every feature was built from scratch specifically for this app. It was designed to be different and offer unmatched flexibility and features.
It's also designed for longevity. It doesn't require the Cardboard app, or Daydream compatibility, or GearVR, or any other external VR services, so it won't stop working when those services get discontinued and removed.
