You've probably often wondered how you would survive in a zombie apocalypse? Would you hold your position while fighting against the bandits, or would you immediately take a bullet? Arizona Sunshine will try to answer this question. It sends you into the Arizona desert with few bullets and a horde of slow-moving zombies stopping you from reaching your goal. There is little ammunition, so you will have to try. To do this, just imagine that you are actually holding a gun, aim carefully and smoothly pull the trigger. While it's fun to play alone, it's much more fun when played in co-op with a friend, thanks in no small part to the characters' ridiculous movements.

Non-gaming virtual reality applications

  • Google Earth (Vive) - this is one of the most impressive applications of virtual reality. Moreover, it's free. The app is designed to work with HTC Vive, but you can easily run it on Oculus Rift. If you already have a VR headset, don't pass it up.
  • Virtual Desktop & Bigscreen (Rift,Vive). Both allow you to view your PC's desktop in virtual reality. You can change the background to a nice street scene (or space, whatever) by stretching your monitor to the level IMAX. The apps are great for gaming, watching movies, or even just getting work done.
  • Kingspray Graffiti (Rift,Vive).The graffiti simulator works so intuitively that you will immediately leave your mark on all kinds of street walls.
  • Tilt Brush (Rift,Vive) Google's 3D graphics app is intuitive to use and great to use. The first time you draw a neon shape into a space and leave it floating there, it's like magic.

Galaxy VR Virtual Game (Action)

Space battles, many different levels, dangerous races on spaceships and exciting missions.

Selection of equipment - Let's choose the device! -

First of all, you need to choose VR equipment that suits you and your pocket.
My choice fell on BOBOVR (~2300r) with a joystick for complete convenience, and for complete immersion in virtual reality there are built-in headphones.

You can choose a simpler option. With a joystick, or without a joystick at all, which is not recommended, the option is 300-400 rubles cheaper, and can create major inconveniences in the future. Using a joystick you don’t have to get up from the couch (although you still have to turn your head), it’s still less likely to destroy your apartment.

The essence is banally simple - these glasses are designed for games on mobile devices, but are much cheaper than specialized analogues, and even more so many times cheaper than top VR devices.
*Glasses are selected according to the diagonal of the phone, be careful when ordering.
I ordered on a well-known non-Russian website, delivery by regular mail.

Special mobile applications bifurcate images allowing you to immerse yourself in virtual reality.

But we will learn how to run not only steam games on them, but also games not intended for VR at all, like Counter-Strike, for example.

____________

First of all it needed to choose the VR machine for you and based on your wallet.
My choice fell on BOBOVR (~30$) with a joypad and a headset which is incorporated in the tool.

There are much more cheaper options - with joypad or without, but its not recommended cuz this case is cheaper on 5-10$ only. With joypad you just need turn your head and move with stick which is safe for you apartments.

The idea is simple - these VR goggles are for mobiles and its much more cheaper compare to top VR devices.
*Please be aware while ordering that it should be chosen based on the phone screen size.
I bought mine on "chinese" website with regular shipping (~3 weeks delivery time).

Special mobile and pc softwares help to split the screen to dive in virtual reality.

I will show you not only how to launch the VR games on it. But also the games which isn’t suitable for VR such as Counter-Strike.

*All screens and pics will be above to do not double it. Sorry in advance.

How does this work? - How does it work? -

Everything is elementary simple - the image is projected from your computer onto the screen of your mobile phone in a bifurcated form, after which you place the phone into the VR device.

Having calibrated the glasses themselves, you will see one solid image.

The controls can be set to a joystick, or you can continue to play with the keyboard.

This instruction is intended only for owners of smartphones with the platform Android!
You will need:
- virtual reality glasses;
- any smartphone with a screen diagonal of 4.7-6 inches;
- USB cable from a smartphone (for connecting to a PC);
- Android application Trinus VR for transferring video from a computer to a smartphone, as well as for transferring motion tracking from a smartphone to a PC;
- any game that is installed on your computer (if you have a fairly powerful PC, then GTA 5 or Half-Life 2 is best).

This is really simple - the image is projected from your computer to the screen of a mobile phone in splitted (bifurcated) form, and you just need to place a phone in the VR device.

After the device calibration is done you will see one single image.

Control can be set on the joystick or you can continue playing with the keyboard.

This instruction is only for owners of smartphones with the Android platform!
You will need:
- virtual reality device;
- any smartphone screen with a diagonal of 4.7-6 inches;
- USB cable for a smartphone (for connection with a PC);
- Android-based application Trinus VR for transferring video from computer to smartphone, as well as for transferring tracking movements from smartphone to PC;
- any game that is installed on your computer (if you have a fairly powerful PC, then the best fit is GTA 5 or Half-Life 2).

Installing the software -

So, the TrinusVR program will help you plunge into the wonderful world of virtual reality. Let’s do a couple of things:

1) First, you will need to install the application on your smartphone Trinus VR And Google Card Board.

This application (Trinus VR) is necessary for transmitting real-time video from a PC to a smartphone, as well as for transmitting gyroscope data (moving a smartphone in space) to a computer.

2) After the application has been installed on your smartphone, you need to install this program on your PC.

_______________________________________________________________________
So, TrinusVR program will help us to plunge into the wonderful world of virtual reality
Let's perform a couple of actions:

1) First, you"ll need to install Trinus VR and Google Card Board on your smartphone.

This application (Trinus VR) is required for real-time transmission to a smartphone of video from a PC, as well as for transferring gyro data (moving a smartphone in space) to a computer.

2) After the application on the smartphone has been installed, it is required to install this program on the PC.

We connect the smartphone to the PC to transfer video -

In the next step, you will need to connect your smartphone to the PC to further transfer video to the smartphone from the PC. Trinus VR supports 2 possible connection options: via Wi-Fi or via USB cable.

By network WiFi There will be no connection problems - you just need to launch Trinus VR on your computer and smartphone, then press the triangle button, and you're done. However, video transmission over Wi-Fi will most likely be slow, so I I recommend(or even insist) choose the connection option using a USB cable. For this method, you will need to enable the “USB modem” access point mode on your smartphone.

On most smartphones, you can enable this mode by going to “Settings”, then going to “Wireless networks” (or “Mobile network”) -> “More” -> “Modem mode” (or “Access point”) and selecting “USB -modem".
After which you will need to connect your smartphone to your PC using a USB cable; after some time a new one will appear on your computer network connection, to which your PC will connect, as a result of which your computer will be able to access the Internet via a smartphone if it has access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or 3G-4G.

By cable USB:
Launch Trinus VR on PC and configure it as shown in the screenshot.

Next, you need to launch the Trinus VR application on your smartphone, press triangle on both the smartphone and the PC, and after that we will see how the image will be transferred from your computer to the smartphone, and the movements of the smartphone can now control the mouse cursor. Trinus VR can stream images from any application that was running in windowed mode.

Fake3D function - Fake3D function -

Separately, I would like to talk about the operation of the function “ Fake3D" - if it is turned on, then when outputting an image from your PC to a smartphone, the picture will be bifurcated, which means that the image transmitted from the PC will occupy only half of the smartphone screen, where half of the screen is already a square, therefore, the image is wide format from a computer will be flattened in width in order to fit into a square, but this inconvenience is resolved during the game itself by changing the in-game resolution to a resolution as close as possible to a 4:3 square (for example, 1280x1024).

You have the opportunity to play absolutely any computer games, and the only thing you need to do is run them in windowed mode and select a resolution in the game that will be close to square in terms of aspect ratio, for example, 1024x768.
But the best option would be to set a non-standard screen resolution for the system: 960x1080 if the smartphone has a Full HD display, or 640x720 if the smartphone has an HD display. Then you should launch the game, specify “Windowed mode” in the settings and select the resolution 1024x768.

__________________________________________________________________

I would like to talk about the operation of the function " Fake3D" - if it is on, then when you display the image from your PC to the smartphone, the picture will be split, which means that the image transmitted from the PC will only occupy half the screen of the smartphone, where half the screen is already a square, therefore, a wide format image from the computer will be flattened in width to fit into the square, but this inconvenience is resolved already during the game itself by changing the resolution in the game for resolution, approximate to a square 4: 3 (for example, 1280×1024).

You have the ability to play absolutely any computer games, and the only thing you need is to run them in the window mode and select the resolution in the game that will be approximated to the square by the ratio of the sides, for example, 1024 ×768.
But the best option is to set the system for non-standard screen resolution: 960×1080, if the smartphone with a Full HD display, or 640×720, in case the smartphone has an HD display. Then you should start the game, specify in the settings "Window mode" and select the resolution of 1024x768.

Let's improve this matter - Let's make some improvements -

So, you have already been able to run GTA V on PC or some other game using virtual reality glasses. Next, we will provide instructions on how to improve the quality of 3D images of PC games using VR glasses. For this you will additionally need:
- Tridef 3D - a special 3D driver, with its subsequent configuration. With the help of this driver, it will be possible to run games on your computer immediately in SBS (split image) mode with the function of creating a 3D depth effect in the game.

First, you need to get Tridef 3D to work with games running in windowed mode. For this purpose, download and apply changes to the registry: Tridef 3D in windowed mode - double click on the file, after which a proposal to add to the registry pops up - we agree.
Next, to get a full, rounded picture of the game (with the lens correction function), you need to download the following change for the registry: Lens correction for Tridef 3D - to apply the function in the Tridef 3D program, select “Tools” in the Injection window, then in “Screen Settings” select OculusRift - GameResolution. You can also use the lens correction in the Trinus VR app on your smartphone instead of the lens correction for Tridef 3D. You should simply activate this function in the application settings.

If you play a fairly large number of PC games, then it will not be superfluous for you to add ready-made settings templates for various PC games to Tridef 3D: Tridef 3D Game Profiles. To install profiles in Tridef 3D, you should select “File” in the Injection window, then click “Explore Profiles” and copy the entire contents of the folder from the archive with profiles you have already downloaded into the folder that opens after clicking.
If Tridef 3D could not detect your game automatically, then after starting Tridef 3D you should add the .exe file of your game from your computer to it. Then you can launch the game.

Here the situation has already changed - Tridef 3D itself bifurcates the image, that is, in the Trinus VR program on your computer you need to disable the “Fake3D” setting.

The image now has a square shape rather than a barrel - this is due to disabling the “Lens Correction” function in the Trinus VR application settings. Then you can launch Trinus VR on both your PC and smartphone and start playing! Call the instruction by pressing the key combination Shift + Alt + F1 for more flexible adjustment of the depth of the 3D effect in the game. Adjust the 3D effect quality that suits you and play.

NOW EVERYTHING IS READY! HAPPY GAME!

So, you have already been able to run GTA V on a PC or some other game with a virtual reality device for beggars (joke). Here will be given an instruction to improve the quality of 3D images of PC games with VR glasses. To do this, you will additionally need:
- Tridef 3D- a special 3D driver with some configuration. With this driver it will be able to run games on a computer immediately in SBS (split image) mode with the function of creating a 3D depth effect in the game.

At first, it needed to make Tridef 3D work with games that are running in window mode. For this purpose, we download and apply changes to the registry: Tridef 3D in windowed mode - double click on the file, after pops propose to add to the registry - agree.
Next, to get a full, round image of the game (with the lens correction function), you need to download the following registry change: Lide correction for Tridef 3D - to apply the function in the Tridef 3D program in the Injection window, select "Tools", then in "Screen Settings" select OculusRift - GameResolution. Also you can use lens correction in the Trinus VR application on the smartphone, instead of lens correction for Tridef 3D. You just need to activate this function in the application settings.

If you play a fairly large number of PC games, then for you it will not be superfluous to add to Tridef 3D ready templates settings for various PC games: Game profiles Tridef 3D. To install profiles in Tridef 3D, you should select "File" in the Injection window, then click "Explore Profiles" and in the folder that opens after clicking, copy the entire contents of the folder from the archive you have already downloaded with profiles.
If Tridef 3D was unable to determine your game automatically, then after running Tridef 3D, you should add the .exe file of your game from the computer to it. Then you can start the game.

Here the situation has already changed - Tridef 3D itself splits the image, so in the Trinus VR program on the computer you need to disable the "Fake3D" setting.

Strange, frightening things are happening everywhere - bloody graffiti on the walls, strange images in the corridors.
