PowerDVD VR Mode (Virtual Reality)

In CyberLink PowerDVD, if you have a supported virtual reality (VR) headset, you can play your media in VR mode.

Setting Up and Entering VR Mode

Before attempting to enter PowerDVD's VR mode, please ensure that:

•your supported VR headset is connected to your computer.

•you have installed all the necessary tools and programs provided by the VR headset manufacturer.

•your VR headset is turned on, if required.

To enter VR mode, click the button and then select Enter VR Mode. You can now put on your VR headset to enjoy the content in VR mode.

Note: you can also select media in the media library, and then enter VR mode by selecting VR Headset in the Play To menu.

Select the Mirror VR View in PowerDVD Window option if you want what you see when wearing the VR headset to also be shown in the CyberLink PowerDVD media window.

Note: for help on what controls are available in VR mode, look left when you have the VR headset on to view the on screen hints. While media is playing back, pull the trigger/click on the trackpad (depending on your type of VR headset) to view the player controls and on screen hints.

Playing Media in VR Mode

When playing 360 videos, photos, and YouTube videos in VR mode, you are fully immersed in a 360 virtual reality environment. When playing non 360 media, the media is viewed on a large virtual screen in your private screening room within the VR environment.

Note: for help on what controls are available in VR mode, look left when you have the VR headset on to view the on screen hints. While media is playing back, pull the trigger/click on the trackpad (depending on your type of VR headset) to view the player controls and on screen hints.

You can play most of the media in your media library in VR mode, including your music and videos on YouTube. You can also access the media files on your hard drive by accessing My Computer, and also content on Steam through SteamVR.

Note: the playback of CyberLink Cloud media, ISO files, and disc folders is not available in VR mode.
