Hi Alan,

that's interesting. I haven't thought about the VNC option. I will need
A VNC server on my Linux computer which allows me to send the content of
the GEM window only.

Note to self and anyone searching this some day: this works with x11vnc.
Use the command xwininfo to find out the ID of the window to be shared, then use
x11vnc -id {id number here}
to share only one window to the vnc client.

However cardboard-vnc-free is doing too much. First of all, it controls the moise pointer on the server (as a VNC client should) but I don't need that. There is an option "Viewer" in the connection settings that will diable this and lower the latency from about 3 seconds to 1 second.

cardboard-vnc-free is also adding two viewports to the shared image, to fake a 3D. That's a show stopper, because I want to use the stereo mode in GEM.

Another idea would be to use VLC on the android phone to open a stream
that is sent by the computer via Pd/Gem and some way to cast the stream.

I think this is the way to go. It also has lower latency than a VNC connection.

What's the best way to stream a GEM window, so that I can play this stream with VLC on the Android device?

M.

Hey Max,

Recently I have been looking at this very subject, in the end using
trinus vr (trinusvirtualreality.com <http://trinusvirtualreality.com>)
 on windows was the easiest solution for me

 I have tried something similar on linux (Fedora) but my problem was
just getting my PC to actually connect with my phone- this would be
trivial I assume for someone who is experienced setting up VNC
connections/networking on Linux. So take a look at these and good luck

    Hi list,

    I'm looking for a solution to use the gem output on an android phone
    for vr.

    I found this app, but it is windows only, no linux host.

    Any ideas about this?
