Linking

One problem with VR is getting content from an external source into an app.  We’ve worked on basic integrations with Google Drive, Dropbox and DLNA, but that won’t cover every need.  Because of that we offer various way for you to create deep links that when executed will open and play in app.  We also offer various configuration option to control the user’s experience when viewing your content.
