You can now take your smartphone into virtual reality.
You can bring your real phone into VR!
Productivity app Immersed is adding support for iPhone and iPad, allowing you to view those devices in VR. It’s part of a growing movement to make VR more than just a gaming platform.
“In the future, your apps could potentially integrate with VR, and you could use them as part of the experience,” Gadget Review CEO Rex Freiberger said in an email interview. “It’s also useful if you want to make sure you can get messages, calls, or important notifications while you’re using VR. And I think it’s a way to make VR that’s actually being used through a smartphone more user-friendly.”
To use your phone in Immersed, you’ll need to download the Immersed iOS app from the App Store. Immersed says it will release an Android version of the app soon, and there’s a waitlist available.
