No. We focus on images. By doing so, we set ourselves the goal to deliver the world's best VR image viewer for you.
The image files can be in either .jpg or .png format. For the Meta Quest devices, the images need to be stored in the /sdcard/Pictures folder or subfolders of it.
For every image file, you can create an according .immerVR file which contains and links to additional data.
Please use our
web-based immersive Gallery-Generator
.
Ideally our automatic image format detection should take care of the image format automatically. If you encounter wrongly detected images, please email them to us so we can improve our algorithms for all users.
In the case that you want to override the detected image format, you can change the format on-the-fly in the app under "Current Image".
You can also create an accompanying .immerVR file for specifying a certain image format.
There are three file extensions that have impact on the image format:
1) .jps: this is a renamed .jpg file and contains a left/right low-field-of-view stereo image
2) .mpo: container, for which we assume that it internally has a left and right image for low-field-of-view-stereo
3) .vr.jpg: for images that have the right eye view hidden in meta data, e.g. photos from the Lenovo Mirage Camera. This defaults to VR180 stereo. If your images have been created this way, they will already have the .vr.jpg extension. Please do not set it manually for your other images.
Various software has supported various hints in file names to enforce a certain image format. We do not support half-resolution formats and always assume full resolution. The following hints are supported. We recommend the ones in bold, but the others work as well. All values are case-insensitive and need to be suffixes of the file name before the file extension, e.g. beach_180_LR.jpg. When displaying the file names with thumbnails in the app, we remove the hints.

We continue to develop and improve our VR image viewer. Updates will be pushed automatically through the virtual reality app stores.
Due to the faster hardware on the Meta Quest 2, the app is able to show images a bit faster and can use the 90 Hz refresh rate of the Meta Quest 2. Nevertheless, you can enjoy the full experience with all our features on the first version of the Meta Quest as well.
Favorites can be added and removed through three different methods:
a) the heart button on the top part of the menu
b) by clicking into the top right corner of a thumbnail
c) by pressing the B or Y button when viewing an image with the menu closed
Depending in which state you are currently in immerGallery, the behaviour is different:
1) You have clicked on an image and you are watching a gallery. Using the heart feature, this toggles if this image is currently added through your favorites or not.
2) You did NOT start the playback of a gallery or pressed "Stop Playback". Because no single image is selected now, using the heart feature, you toggle if the current folder is currently added through your favorites or not.
Changing the heart status directly on the top right corner of the thumbnail works for both modes.
Please note: when you are in playback mode in your favorites folder and you remove the currently watched item, the playback will stop as the favorites got reorganized.
The view on the favorites will first show all added folders. Inside, you find the exact data and subfolders as you would expect it. After the folders, the full path of the image including the directory path is used for alphanumerical sorting. This way, favorites added from the same folder will be next to each other.
