VR is currently not supported by Dolphin.

However, you could, in theory, use stereoscopy and a Gear VR headset for stereoscopic vision. Assuming those settings are exposed on Android of course. (surely they are!) This would not have any headtracking or anything, but it would be pretty cool!

Don't assume too much about the Android version of Dolphin Tongue

Yea would be cool to do it, i mean imagine metroid prime in VR. But yeah you mean it is possible to have the effect of playing it on a large screen in VR? Or were u referring to actually making it so it looks like you are in the game type of VR. Both would be cool

Metroid Prime in VR at 10 fps?

Keep in mind that MP is a quite demanding game.

Ok um... I'll explain.

VR is a combination of numerous techniques. Head tracking and stereoscopy are the absolute basics for VR to be VR, and there's also positional tracking (desk scale or room scale), motion controls with positional tracking, etc etc, which amplify the experience further.

What Dolphin has right now is stereoscopy. Without head tracking, and doesn't qualify as "VR". If you enable stereoscopy in android right now and slide it into a Gear VR, what you'll be getting is basically an enormous 3D display strapped to your face. I mean, that's really cool! But there would be no illusion that you are in the game world - so it's not VR.

I understand, thank you so much! Yeah, if there is a tutorial on how to enable stereoscopy on android that would be great.
