Bigscreen

There a reason its called BIGSCREEN! Been waiting for this to hit the Mircosoft store for a while, still early stages but more then I could hope for plus it just leave room for improvement on almost perfection! Bigscreen VR is the best multimedia VR app on the market hands down, paid er otherwise. FIVE STARS

I wish it output the same resolution as my hmd.

need to keep up with the steam version

This is great for watching movies with old friends or new ones

I used this with the ACER WMR headset and motion controllers. It took me about an hour to figure out how to use the program, and I'm still iffy about fixing room orientation w/o moving myself. The FAQ is useless. It took awhile to get SBS 3D to work properly. The hand controls are very useful, but I could find ZERO instructions for using them, so there is a STEEP learning curve with this app. HOWEVER, once you figure it out (i.e., how to bring up and use the system pad), you can change environments, manipulate the "small screen," etc. My whole purpose in using this app was to watch 3D movies, and boy oh boy does it deliver once you figure it out. The best way to view is to turn off the "big screen" and wrap the "small screen" around you. It makes for AMAZING 3D. Far better than theater experiences. Essentially, the "fishbowl" 3D can be effective instead of waiting around for the comparatively rare "pop-out" elements. Did not try games or the social features.

Pros: Large screens and lots of different environments. Once you figure them out controls are cool and fun. Cons: I really, really wish it would work longer than about 5 minutes from windows store. Issues are: consistently unable to leave a room (everything freezes and I have to bounce it), room freezes after 5-10 minutes, and sound issues with other people talking (consistently - actually have never heard anybody talk period at least without a lot of skipping or incomprehensible). Matters are worse or present more readily when more than 3-4 people are in the room. Profoundly more stable from Steam. I wouldn't recommend kids use due to potential for idiots but the rooms are purportedly moderated. If it helps gtx 1060 6GB and i5 6500 and 16 GB of RAM. Not the most high powered system but "should work" from what I understand.
