Troubleshooting: Cannot play 3D movies in ANTVR Kit with Lenovo K4 Note
- Hi, I recently bought an ANT VR headset and now I am facing difficulty in watching 3D movie with Lenovo K4 Note. Actually the problem is that when I downloaded some 3D sources onto this headset, I kept getting the same error message over and over. Why I am not able to view 3D movies on ANTVR Kit with Lenovo K4 Note? How can I watch 3D movies with ANTVR KIT?
Among the top VR headsets, ANT VR undoubtedly comes to the fore of most welcome ones at present. The reason why ANTVR Kit outperform most of their peers is that it owns a plenty of great features and amazing specifications:
- It is foldable and super portable to carry the VR experience wherever one goes
- It has special aspherical lenses are distortion free - movies and games can be watched clearly
- It is born with innovative design and the lenses gives a 100 degree field of view making it one of the best VR experiences in the market
- It can be used with the reading glasses on.
Part I: Import supported 3D movies to ANT VR for viewing via Lenovo K4 Note
This headset is not anymore universal for watching 3D movies than the Rift when it comes to VR. It is easier to use as a 3D TV though. Here's how you can watch a 3D movie in ANTVR Kit with Lenovo K4 Note.
What you need:
- A 3D movie. (You will need to download or buy a 3D movie)
- A phone. (Here ANT VR is compatible with Lenovo K4 Note TheaterMax technology providing widescreen virtual cinematic experience)
- A VR headset. We used ANT VR Headset for Lenovo K4 Note available on Amazon.
The one extra thing you might need, depending on the 3D movie you have, is an app to play it for the VR headset. The reason you need a special app to play a 3D movie because when you play any sort of video that's meant for ANT VR, it's split into two windows like this:
We say you might need the app because the movie may not be split into two windows. The one we tried this out with was already split into two windows. In the event that your movie isn't, here is a free app for Android, to split the view.
For Android (Lenovo K4 Note) users, there's AAA VR Cinema. The app is excellent if your headset has no action buttons of any sort. It can split a video into two windows and you can navigate the app with head gestures. Adding a file to it easy; just copy it to your device.
If you've got a movie that's already split into two windows, just play it using VLC player.
All that's left, now that you've got the movie and the app to play it, is to insert it into your headset and enjoy. Granted, this isn't a family experience. It's just you sitting alone with the headset strapped to your head watching a movie but it does the trick for individual needs well enough. You might experience problems with video format so make sure the format your movie is in is compatible with the movie player i.e., the app you're going to use to play it.

Tip 1. Everything you need to know about the ANT VR kit
Earlier this week, Lenovo launched the VIBE K4 Note in India. The smartphone packs in an innovative technology, dubbed TheaterMax, that offers an immersive large screen experience on smartphones powered by Lenovo Virtual Reality (VR) technology.
The VIBE K4 Note is the first smartphone to be launched with TheaterMax. It allows you to convert any multimedia content on the phone to become immersive, giving users a virtual large screen cinematic experience when viewed through a VR headset.
The VR kit that Lenovo offers is made by ANTVR, a virtual reality startup dedicated to the development of virtual reality, augmented reality, and holographic reality with products like a VR headset for PC, VR glasses for mobile phone, and a VR camera.
Qin Zheng, the founder of ANTVR, is an avid science fiction fan and produced several sci-fi stories and movies during college. His interest in the field led him to the world of virtual reality. In fact, the first ANTVR KIT prototype was developed by Zheng all by himself. In 2014, ANTVR successfully finished crowdfunding for the first All-in-One universal virtual reality kit, the ANTVR Kit 1, on Kickstarter.
If you want to use ANTVR for gaming you can either go with OTG or Bluetooth Gaming controller - with that u can play . I already made a review of ANTVR in my channel " HOWISIT " but not shown the game play .. for more details you can check the ANTVR review.
Tip 2: Best VR apps to start 2016
Read on as we pick out 10 must-play Android VR apps of 2016, featuring the likes of crime-busting game Stitchers: Hack the Case, Cmoar Roller Coaster VR and the spooky horror, Sisters.
1. Cmoar Roller Coaster VR
In our minds, this is the very best rollercoaster virtual reality experience on Google Play right now. Yes, this is a paid app, but the 4-minute thrill ride won't leave you disappointed. Riders are treated to some spectacular sights as the rollercoaster travels through mountains, soars past fire-breathing dragons and dives into an underground cave coated in lava.
The game world is unusual in the fact that it combines a western setting with fantasy elements, with the winding track also featuring a couple of jumps along the way. Whereas other virtual reality apps we'll be spotlighting aren't really suitable for everybody, Cmoar Roller Coaster VR can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone.
A free version of the app is available to download, although the ride is cut short at just over a minute.
2. Hidden Temple – VR Adventure
Hidden Temple – VR Adventure invites you to explore a mysterious ancient tomb, solving puzzles and finding hidden chambers as you work your way through the deep jungle environment. We've chosen to feature Hidden Temple – VR Adventure on our list not only because of the mesmerizing setting, but also because of the stunning, vibrant graphics on show.
This virtual reality game is a modern take on a classic point-and-click adventure, and players can pick up and combine items to help them navigate through various underground rooms. The aim is to grab as many hidden treasures as possible by exploring and solving riddles scribbled on the walls of the temple. It's possible to play Hidden Temple – VR Adventure without the use of a headset, but where's the fun in that?
3. Google Cardboard
Google's own Cardboard app is the perfect introduction to the world of virtual reality on your phone, with the title split into various sections that each offer a unique experience of their own. Included are demos for Earth, Tour Guide, My Videos, Exhibit and Photo Sphere.
Earth brings VR-compatibility to Google Earth, which means you can explore places around the world with a newfound level of immersion. Tour Guide allows you to visit Versailles with a local guide, whilst My Videos lets you view clips you've recorded on your phone with the VR headset. Instead of making your videos truly 3D, the app instead splits the video down the middle and displays it twice to give the illusion of 3D. Photo Sphere is similar, but instead functions with still images rather than video.
4. Stitchers: Hack the Case
Stitchers: Hack the Case is an interactive crime-solving experience that is based on the Freeform drama, Stitchers. Players are transported into the memories of victims to relive their final moments and uncover clues as to who is guilty of killing them.
The slightly dark nature of the app means it might not be too child-friendly, but the story is certainly a gripping one. VR mode is optional, but exploring crime scenes and interacting with evidence by actually moving your head and body is great fun. If you think you've got what it takes to join the government's secret Stitchers Program, get your crime-solving glasses on and dive in.
5. 'Cleanopolis VR'
Cleanopolis VR is an educational title primarily aimed at kids, but that doesn't stop the experience being fun for folk of all ages. The free-to-download app sees Captain Clean fighting against climate change to rid the city of Cleanopolis of its CO2 cloud. Players are assisted by Toby the dog as they explore the 3D city and have a go at the mini-games in each of four districts.
The graphics on display are impressive and the game does a good job of throwing you straight into the action. Whilst there's sections of the app that quiz you on your ecological footprint, the topics are genuinely interesting and covered in a way that doesn't leave you feeling like you're stuck in a boring school lesson.
6. House of Terror VR
House of Terror VR is an interactive horror experience that challenges your bravery as you explore a haunted house full of traps, monsters and brain-busting puzzles.
Unlike some of the other virtual reality apps we've covered, House of Terror VR requires a joystick so players can walk around the house. As a result, not everybody is going to be able to play this title. If you have the required equipment though, it's definitely worth downloading the app and taking a look around the dark environments on offer.
Not many other virtual reality horror games nail the unsettling atmosphere as well as House of Terror VR.
7. VR Roller Coaster Attraction
VR Roller Coaster Attraction arrives courtesy of Fibrum, who we believe to be one of the top names in the mobile VR world. VR Roller Coaster Attraction isn't as long as the ride on offer in the Cmoar app, although this attraction boasts a far prettier environment, deep in the jungle surrounded by lavish rainforests, rock formations and waterfalls.
Players start the ride by focusing their gaze on a large wooden lever, and before you know it you're riding the rollercoaster up to the top of a hill, with just a couple of seconds to take in the scenery before you plummet back down to earth. A recent update to the VR Roller Coaster Attraction app adds a freemium system which has annoyed quite a few people over on the Play Store, but this shouldn't be enough to put you off trying the app out for yourself.
8. Sisters
The Sisters app for Android devices isn't about exploring but instead about seeing if you have the guts to keep your eyes open as ghosts and ghouls burst into life around you.
Sisters is set in a spooky room inside a mansion on a stormy night, and as the title suggests, you'll be introduced to a pair of characters that have a surprise or two up their sleeves. When the lights go out, the pair of wooden dolls go missing from the fireplace. What follows is a tense, immersive VR experience that's a must-try for fans of horror.
Although the experience is fairly short, it's great fun to watch friends and family try Sisters out for themselves. We recommend you take on the app equipped with a good pair of headphones.
9. Lamper VR: Firefly Rescue
Lamper VR is one of the most polished titles on the Play Store at the time of writing, starring Little Lamper, a brave lightning bug in a big, dangerous world.
The game is fully 3D and is the successor to another popular Google Cardboard app, only this latest entry into the series offers more features than ever before. Players are asked to explore lush woods and fiery caverns as they go in search of their lost friends. Powerups such as explosive fireballs can be picked up along the way to help gamers blast past enemies to reach their goals.
There's no in-app purchases to contend with and the app is perfect for younger audiences.
10. InMind VR
InMind VR has one of the most interesting settings of the apps we've mentioned, taking place entirely inside a human head. Players must travel through the brain of a patient in search of neurons that cause mental disorder. The title is free to download and does a good job of providing an engaging experience exploring the miracles of the human mind.
The game's makers write: "The future is nigh. The humanity is standing upon the brink of a new era where modern healthcare makes tremendous scientific advancements. With the help of nanotechnologies a surgical prototype bathyscaphe allows its operator to shrink to a microlevel and travel inside the patient's body." Technical stuff!
