PostsIf you're a VR enthusiast or just looking to try something new with your VR headset, these six VR apps for Android will let you explore prehistoric landscapes or even create your own theater to watch your favorite movies (so long as you have a compatible VR headset, so be sure to check the requirements of each app in the PlayStore). Are you ready to dive into a world of mobile virtual reality? Let's begin!
It seems that as of 2024, most VR developers have begun focusing on apps for Meta Quest, including apps previously available for Android. For the best VR experience, Meta Quest appears to be the place to be, so when you're ready for an upgrade, that's what I'd recommend.
Fulldive VR
Fulldive VR is arguably one of the best free apps if you’re getting into VR: the content is user-generated (anything from photos to videos), you can browse the internet in VR, and there’s a market containing VR-related apps.
You can think of the app as a hub for anything VR, plus it doubles as a social platform that allows you to friend users, watch their content, like, and comment.
VR Jurassic Dino Park Coaster
If you’re a dino lover, VR Jurassic Dino Park Coaster is for you, and it’s compatible with many VR devices, like DayDream, VR-BOX, Cardboard, etc. You’ll get a full tour of various dinosaurs, which includes information about them, like what food they ate, when they lived, when they went extinct, and more.
It’s basically a VR encyclopedia, but you’re on a roller coaster, and you get to see fully 3D-rendered representations of dinosaurs. Plus, there’s also an ancient museum you can explore that’s filled with various creatures.
YouTube
While the dedicated YouTube VR can be found on Meta Quest, did you know that you can watch VR videos directly on YouTube? This makes YouTube one of the best VR apps for your Android phone, with a lot of VR content on-demand.
To watch VR content on YouTube, simply search for a VR video. The other way to do this is to search for the YouTube Virtual Reality channel and pick your chosen video. There are hundreds of thousands of videos to choose from. It’s definitely a unique way to experience YouTube.
Home Theater VR
Watching movies or series on your phone can be very convenient, and you can enhance that experience with Home Theater VR. What makes this app unique is the number of compatible video sources: web browsers, web streams, local files, PC mirroring, and HTTP video streams.
The app creates theaters (of which you have 24 to choose from) in a VR environment, and you can create your own custom theatre. You can also watch 3D HSBS/HOU, 180-degree, and 360-degree videos in up to 4K resolution.
It’s a paid app, but there is a trial mode to try it out.
VRChat
While VR Chat might look like a game, it’s more of a social app with thousands of games. You’ll need to create an avatar to get started, but after that, the rest is up to you. You can make friends in any game, including exploring haunted mansions or simply playing cards.
There are live music events to attend, virtual hikes to go on, and planetariums to visit. How is this possible? The app developers have provided users with the VRChat SDK, so everything is made by the community. It’s quite literally a virtual world you can spend hours getting lost in.
VR Player
Taking a trip down memory lane is fun, but have you ever done it while wearing a virtual reality headset? VR Player lets you do exactly that: it converts any photo or video on your device into a panoramic equivalent.
While this may seem a bit on the nose at face value, you can’t deny that you’re intrigued by the idea. If you have a VR headset, why not give it a try? Plus, if you have any movies or series you’ve bought and downloaded, it could be an interesting way of watching your favorite show.
