Getting back to the use of 3rd-party apps however, one hardware modification approach to that is to ensure your phone doesn't connect via USB to the headset, and the easiest way to do this if you only plan to use one type of USB phone connection (USB C for example), is modify the other USB adapter to remove the USB plug from the adapter module.

Works great, only drawback is it drains the phone way too fast.

a well known issue with Cardboard and some phones was that as you watched video or used a VR app, the screen would some times drift off center, so things that at first appeared to be right in front of you would in time appear be to the left or right of you and the only way to fix it would be to restart the video or app

The addition of the controller is very welcome, it provides a smooth way of controlling the VR surroundings

What a great way to escape the real world
