Description

From the listing uploaded by “g3ek-store”.

The app turns old Android phone into a Bluetooth VR Gamepad for virtual reality headsets on Android (like Gear VR). It is required to install this app on - VR Controller (old phone) - VR Headset (new phone for VR games). This VR Controller is compatible with Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR and other Android VR headsets. It is optimized for "blind" use while wearing VR headset - all buttons have a larger hot spot areas with vibro feedback and the navigation pad works like a physical stick (joystick). 1. Install and Start this app on two phones (NEW phone and OLD phone). 2. Click on blue Bluetooth icon to pair phones. 3. NEW Phone: Click on "VR Headset" icon and then add/enable "VR Controller Keypad" keyboard. . 4. OLD Phone: Click on "VR Controller" icon and then "Connect" button. 5. VR Gamepad on OLD Phone should be connected to NEW phone. 5. Play a game on NEW phone, control it by OLD phone! VR Games that we have already tested with VR Controller (and confirmed working): - Minecraft VR (check our Facebook page for key mapping, settinigs) - Dreadhalls/Dreadhalls Demo - Hardcode VR - BombSquad - Zombie Alien Hunter VR - Temple Run VR - Sniper VR - The Dark Inside - Shark VR - VR Fantasy - Shadowgun VR - Alien Attack VR - Nitro Nation Cardboard - Smash Hit - Poly Runner VR - Star VR Racer (up/down for left/right turns) - House of Terror VR (A - action, B - move) - Zombiestan VR (reconfigure keys mapping inside a game: walk W,A,S,D -> up/left/down/right navigation on joystick buttons, A - attack, B - change weapon, look buttons leave unchanged). Disclaimer: some games do not have proper gamepad support. You can refund within 2 hours after the purchase if the app does not fit your needs. Use to install the app on the second phone for free. You can use VR Controller for education as well - e.g. control a VR simulation in a classroom. Are you a game developer and would like to support VR Controller in your game?

VR Controller APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the VR Controller APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is d9e2dcb55a1fb181427b08847925346b.
