I'm not sure if I fancy being tethered, even if the graphics will be better. Not as immersive. Shit 400-500 quid for a Quest! I got a Samsung Gear VR with my Galaxy S7 Edge years ago, gonna give that a go. Only wires are power cable/headphones but you can run on battery and bluetooth headphones.

Wellyboot Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 My dad's got one of them google cardboard things knocking about somewhere, might see if I can borrow it. Does anyone know if it will work? I'm not very techy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpsamuels Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Sansar (the VR platform they are using) doesn't have an android or iPhone app as far as I can tell. That rules out Samsung Gear VR or Google Cardboard. The Lost Horizon website has full details on how you can join in (https://www.losthorizonfestival.com/how-to-watch) and a fairly decent spec Windows PC + VR headset is listed as the only way to get the full experience. Sansar does have a non-VR mode which My 2yr old, far from dedicated gaming spec, laptop can run so some of you with newish machines may get some luck with that. It looks like you still get to walk around the 'festival' in a first or third person view using a keyboard/moues combo and viewing on a normal monitor rather than in VR. The Lost Horizons mobile app seems to be the only thing available for android or iPhone and that's gives 'a birds eye view of each of the four festival stages'. Failing that, Twitch or Beatport look like they'll have you covered from a non-interactive, just sit back and watch the show perspective. The line-up looks mint as does the preview video. It looks like the Shangri-La crowd have gone above and beyond on this one so hopefully it saves festival season 2020 as best as is now possible!

Interesting, they's removed the 'birds eye view' part from the app description. "while also changing their view points" doesn't sound like the mobile app will be full VR though, I'm assuming it'll be a more mobile friendly GUI to browse the twitch and youtube streams, maybe with a few different, but still static, angles.

kemosabe Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 If you want to smile while you dance, check out Afriquoi, who are “opening” the Freedom stage on the Saturday. Their main live show was fantastic on the west holts stage in 2017 and then I saw their DJ set on ‘the bug’ stage in 2019. There was only maybe 50-100 people watching but everyone was dancing and having a fantastic time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppelin Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Tried to download Sansar just for the Desktop experience but couldn't get the installer to run. Anyone else have issues? I don't really have an appropriate GPU anyway so can make do with Twitch/Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
