HOW TO VIEW VR CONTENT USING THE VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSET
Testing VR content on your Smartphone
Download, stream or use existing content on your Smartphone to test for VR compatibility. Using the game, video or app menu, you will be able to determine if it supports Left/Right Split Screen (see Figure 1) e.g. youtube displays this icon when VR content is available. It is suggested you select the highest definition video available (e.g. 1080p) for an optimal viewing experience.
How to view content with the headset
1. Setup the compatible content and ‘pause’ it on your Smartphone prior to inserting into the Smartphone holder/ cover (1).
2. Gently open the Smartphone holder/cover (1). Holding your Smartphone with the screen facing inwards, place it securely and centrally into the spring-loaded clasp.
3. Press ‘play’ or ‘un-pause’ your content and close the cover (1). If you find that the content is upside down and it isn’t automatically corrected by your Smartphone, ‘pause’ again, reopen the cover (1) and rotate your Smartphone.

Split Screen should look like on a Smartphone if VR content is available.
