Really well done VR experience. The best non-video app I tried on Nexus 5X with upgraded cardboard.

The best android VR video player.

Jan Kuzel · Answer

Maybe the best VR video for a kid to try. It's the video I give everyone to try as their first. There's not much movement, doesn't make people sick, it's not scary and it's quite fun!

You don't have to put your cardboard off again! Surf the web in VR.

Vinh Pham · Answer

Youtube has a large collection of 360 videos with support for motion tracking. I can't comment on the quality of content available, but it's free and worth checking out. You can also watch all non-360 videos in VR for what it's worth.
