How to Check If Your Smartphone Supports Virtual Reality Headsets?

Virtual Reality for smartphones is not only an exciting element for smartphone users but it is also a very promising business prospect that can be taken up. In this era, the smartphone is the most used mobile device.

Imagine every smartphone being able to render immersive experiences. It becomes even more exciting to use a smartphone if one gets to explore advanced aspects of technology. Inevitably, this will generate an enormous amount of business for software developers.

Integrating Virtual Reality in smartphones requires them to Support Virtual Reality headsets. The reason for this is that VR headsets use the gyroscope of smartphones to determine which direction you are looking at.

This is where the dilemma comes up because not every smartphone is compatible with a Virtual Reality headset as not all smartphones consist of a gyroscope feature.

Checking Compatibility with VR Headsets

As we all are well aware, different types of smartphones need to be checked for compatibility with Virtual Reality headsets. Here is an explanation of how we can go about it:

Android Smartphones

Android smartphones are unarguably the most used mobile devices around. Statistics from a randomly conducted survey in the city of New York suggests that more than 70% of smartphone users prefer android phones.

Therefore, if you are looking to integrate virtual reality with your smartphones, android phones are the first stop for you. Here is a procedure we recommend users to follow to check if your smartphone is compatible with VR headsets:

• Download a free VR compatibility checker app from Google Play Store.
• Once the app is installed on your phone, open it.
• You will find an option that reads ‘check’, press it.
• An automated check runs on your device.
• In the result, you will either get a message that reads ‘your device supports VR’ or ‘you need to upgrade your phone’

If you get a positive result, you can enjoy VR on your smartphone seamlessly and cost-effectively.

iOS Smartphones

While iOS smartphones are not as commonly used as android, there is still a substantial number of users who go with iOS devices. iOS smartphones are mostly associated with their expensive nature coupled with high-end features.

But what we fail to understand is that iOS devices have rarely lacked compatibility with certain technologies. Over the last decade or so, no iOS smartphone that lacks compatibility with Virtual Reality headsets has been Developed.

However, for the minor population who are using iOS smartphones more than a decade older, it can be easily said your phone is not compatible and therefore you need to upgrade. Whereas, any phone that is less than 10 years older will definitely support VR headsets.

Windows Smartphones

Virtual Reality in windows smartphones has not been discussed as much because there are not many users of Windows phones. For the same reason, there is no tool or suitable application that has been developed to check this issue and clear the dilemma.

As of now, it can be concluded that windows smartphones are not compatible with Virtual Reality headsets.

Virtual Reality Headsets for Smartphones

Here are some of the factors you must consider to determine the kind of VR headsets that suit smartphones:

Lens

Lenses are crucial in providing an alluring VR experience to the users. Hence, the lenses of your VR headset must be excellent quality-wise. You need to look out for the blue-ray coating feature, in particular, to render the users with a safe VR experience.

Lens Adjustment

Lens adjustment feature allows users to change viewing angles as per their convenience. Because smartphones do not possess a big trajectory, a lens adjustment feature is a must in headsets.

Mobile Compatibility

You need to check whether the headset can accommodate a smartphone dimension-wise.

Heat Dissipator

Heat dissipator in a VR headset reduces the chances of a phone overheating due to constant use. This is an important feature of a Virtual Reality headset that you need to factor in.

Head Strap Adjustment:

Head strap adjustment feature in a headset allows users to adjust your VR headsets as per their comfort and according to the size of their heads.
