Import videos recorded with the GoPro camera and create, modify or play virtual environments based on the 360 camera view. Exploring the areas of the video is possible by clicking, holding and dragging anywhere in the main window. Video encoding, master/slave, and controller settings are configurable.

GoPro VR Player lets you enjoy a more realistic viewing experience by supporting spherical video playback. The player has a minimalistic interface, with only a few basic options accessible through the main window. In addition, there is a top menu from where you can configure several other parameters. The tool can play a long list of media formats, including not only the most popular video extensions but multiple image types as well. It was also good to find out that the player also supports playing video streams.

To play a video, it suffices to drag and drop the desired file onto the main window since you do not even need to click on the play button. Moreover, since we are dealing with 360-degree video here, it is good to know that you can zoom in or out by using the mouse wheel as well as move the video in any direction by dragging the image with the mouse.

There are also some options that help you configure the way the video is displayed. For instance, there are four different projection modes, including GoPro VR, Fisheye, Rectilinear and Little Planet. It is a good idea to try them and pick the one that really does what you want. Another possibility is to enable 3D playback. more
