Virtual reality (VR) is no longer just a promise for the future. VR technology is already being used successfully in numerous areas such as entertainment, training, marketing and industry. The variant with smartphones is particularly interesting: it enables a simple and cost-effective entry into the virtual world. But how exactly do VR glasses<\/a> with a smartphone work? In this article, we explain the technology behind it, show current possible applications and provide an overview of different devices. You will also find out how your company can benefit from this technology – perhaps even by renting mobile devices such as smartphones<\/a> for your next presentation or trade fair. <\/p>\n VR glasses with a smartphone use the mobile device as a screen and computing unit. This means that, unlike high-end VR systems such as Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, smartphone VR glasses do not require their own hardware, but only a holder with lenses and, if necessary, controls. <\/p>\n The holder, also known as a “headset”, is usually made of plastic or cardboard (e.g. Google Cardboard) and contains two special lenses that divide the smartphone display into two areas – one for the left and one for the right eye. This creates a stereoscopic 3D effect for the wearer, which enables the typical “immersion” in virtual reality. <\/p>\n This creates an immersive experience, even though the smartphone actually only has a flat display.<\/p>\n The following components are crucial for the VR experience with the smartphone:<\/p>\nThe basics of smartphone VR technology<\/h2>\n
