I have a Daydream device but no Daydream View headset, can I still play Viond experiences?
Yes. Although we recommend using a Daydream View headset paired with the Daydream controller to enjoy a top-notch experience, you can still use the Viond app as a regular (Cardboard) VR app. To do so :
- Launch the Viond app.
- When prompted to place the phone in the Daydream headset, turn it on the side in order to switch to landscape mode for 2 seconds.
- As you face this screen, press the gear icon in the top right of the screen to access VR Settings :
- In the VR Settings screen press the Headset menu
- Select Google Cardboard I/O 2015 headset.
- You can now close the settings menu and the app. When you re-open the app, you will be able to use Viond as a regular (Cardboard) VR app.
