Notes on Android Support

What does it mean to have OSVR support for Android?

OSVR support for Android means that you can run OSVR on Android devices such as:

  • Android phones
  • Android tablets
  • Razer Forge game console
  • Other types of hardware that supports Android

Can I use OSVR to run Google Cardboard applications?

Not as-is. Applications need to be ported to take advantage of the OSVR software capabilities

Can I connect the OSVR HDK to an Android device?

Yes. Users have successfully run OSVR on a Razer Forge and then connected the Forge via the HDMI output and USB port to the OSVR HDK. The same could be done with other HMDs.

Can I run OSVR on a Samsung Gear VR?

Yes. For instance, see this video for a user that used OSVR to get positional tracking support for Gear VR.

RenderManager support on Android

As of 2016-02-22, the RenderManager code compiles and links for Android in a branch of the OSVR-Android-Build project. There is not yet a working GLES example program to compile, and the code has not yet been tested.
