The growing popularity within the market is due, above all, to the integration of content focused on virtual reality on platforms such as YouTube and the video game industry.Play Station 4 has nearly two million VR glasses sold and its virtual reality tool has been a huge sales success with more than two hundred games in the catalogue. Google, seeing the growth of this market, has been one of the main sponsors of this technology for its Android devices, with peripherals and apps perfectly optimized to get the most out of performance. We see the best VR apps and games for Android.
Google Cardboard
The official Google Cardboard app is a must. We can use the app to configure our virtual reality experience. And it also brings some decent VR experiences on its own. We can use Google Earth to fly or take a trip to Versailles in virtual reality In addition, the application allows us to view our videos, photospheres and other virtual reality content stored in our device.More importantly, it has a directory of VR apps and games that makes finding new stuff so much easier. It comes pre-installed on many devices, but if not, we highly recommend downloading it from Google Play.
AAA VR Cinema Cardboard 3D SBS
AAA VR Cinema is a virtual reality video player that allows us to play content stored locally on our device. It is quite easy to use and allows us to put the video on our device and then use this app to play while using Google Cardboard. Features 180 and 360 degree video support, head tracking, NAS support, and built-in features to eliminate drift issues that can arise when watching longer videosIt is completely free if we want to try it and it is one of the essential virtual reality applications for Google Cardboard.
Fulldive VR
Fulldive VR calls itself a VR navigation platform. What that exactly means is that the app will help us find and watch tons of VR content from all over the web. It has support for YouTube VR video, a built-in VR video player, and even a VR browser for viewing online content. There's also a camera, photo gallery, and marketplace for taking VR images and browsing more VR apps and games Definitely one of those VR apps you It's worth downloading and it's also completely free. As if that weren't enough, it turns out it's also great for Daydream.
Titans of Space Cardboard VR
Titans of Space is one of the most popular virtual reality apps for Google Cardboard. It presents a virtual reality tour through our solar system so we can see everything and how it works. On top of that, we can also compare the sizes of planets, roam freely, learn more about various planetary bodies (including voice narration) and more. There's even a nice little soundtrack to enjoy as we zip through the cosmos. The app and most of its features are completely free. If we want to include voice narration, we can buy it as a DLC for 3 euros.
VR Space: The Last Mission
VR Space: The Last Mission is an arcade space combat shooter that once again puts us in the cockpit for some epic space battles. It also uses an endless runner mechanic where we will have unlimited play against waves of increasingly difficult enemiesThe graphics are pretty decent and the controls seem competently done too. It is compatible with the use of the game platform and we can turn off virtual reality and play without cardboard, if we prefer. It is relatively cheap, 2 euros.
VR X-Racer
VR X-Racer is an infinite runner game in which you have the task of avoiding obstacles while traveling very fast. We will get points by things like getting close to glitches and hitting the blue rings that appear in our path and the goal is to get as many points as possible while traveling as far as we can. It's relatively simple compared to some of the other games on the list. However, it does give us the option of playing with a gaming rig or with head tracking as our controller. It's free to download and play with direct in-app purchases, posting updates as without .
Need for Jump
Need for Jump is a small and colorful platform game in which we have to run and collect coins. The game uses the player's head movements to determine direction. We look left and right to move in those directions and then nod to jump It is also one of the few VR games that allows multiplayer. It's not the most complex game out there, but it's a good time killer. The game is completely free to download and play.
BAMF VR
BAMF VR is a simple puzzle platform game. In this title, we will use teleportation to move through various levels to collect crystals and advance to the next area. Features a full 360-degree experience and the developers highly recommend playing standing up or in a swivel chair for comfortIt also features simple and colorful graphics, support for various input methods (including Bluetooth controllers), and a familiar experience. It's also completely free with no in-app purchases. It is one of the best virtual reality games for kids and adults.
Flats
Flats is one of the most colorful virtual reality games in Cardboard's catalogue. It is an FPS game that allows us to play both for one player and for several. We wander around a map and try to kill people. Your bullets also bounce off things and it looks pretty cool subjectively We'll need a controller of some kind to play. There is also support for Android TV if we want to use cross platforms. We can also save to the cloud so we can switch devices if necessary. It is exceptionally fun to play and relatively cheap to buy in its full version, 2 euros.
InMind VR
InMind VR is one of the most popular virtual reality games to date. It's an arcade shooter in which we go through the neural pathways of the brain looking for physical abnormalities. Once we find them, we neutralize them to make the brain he althy again. They use corridor mechanics and we will be on a predetermined path for the whole game. We will also have the option to play with or without a VR headset if we wish and the game does not require a pad to play. It's also completely free with no in-app purchases. The developer has a second game called InCell VR that is just as good as this one.
Hardcode
Hardcode was one of the first well-crafted VR games and remains one of the best shooters available. It has a third-person perspective, the camera is controlled by the movements of the player's head. We can play single player or online multiplayer missions, this being one of the few VR games that has an online multiplayer mode. The only caveat is that the game requires a gaming platform and we will not be able to play without one. It is free to download and the most expensive in-app purchase costs 3 euros.
Trinus VR
TrinusVR is not a VR game, but it allows US to play VR games. The general idea is that we can use this app to play PC games This is how it works: we will connect our device to a PC with this application. We then use head tracking and embed it directly into the game we're playing. The game is then streamed to our headset which emulates a virtual reality experience. This gives us a pseudo-VR experience that is actually quite original. Things can get a little shaky when we're using it, so we need to be sure to use the free demo first to make sure our system and device are compatible.The final version costs 9 euros.
Apollo 15 Moon Landing VR
Apollo 15 Moon Landing VR is pretty much what the title says. A VR simulation of the famous moon landing in which we can experience the action first hand, drive and see the scenes. It uses images compiled by NASA to make the experience as real as possible. Virtually everyone who has tried it has enjoyed it, as the reviews on Google Play attest. The only caveat is that we'll need a modern, powerful smartphone to drive the app at its full resolution It's one of those virtual reality apps for Google Cardboard that are almost mandatory to test. Best of all, it's completely free.
Expeditions
Expeditions is an education oriented application that is intended to be used in a classroom setting.However, it can be used almost anywhere we want. The application has more than 200 expeditions in which we can immerse ourselves. We will be able to see various destinations, landmarks, landforms, waterscapes and hundreds of other places There is a 360 degree mode that works without cardboard if we need it and the app is quite easy to use. It is also completely free. Google Arts and Culture is another fantastic education-based virtual reality app made by Google.
