GoPro VR Player lets you enjoy a more realistic viewing experience by supporting spherical video playback.
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.
All in all, GoPro VR Player works perfectly and can be used without much strain. It has the special ability to play 360 videos, which you cannot find in many other players. It lacks some more sophisticated features available in other similar tools, mostly those related to audio playback. Luckily, the product is absolutely free to use.
