Well thank you!

I actually am using an older Android device (a Nexus 5). My son likes to watch movies on it. The older 3D adapter is called "Google Cardboard" (although you can get "Cardboard" adapters that are made of plastic and padding). You do have to use a movie player app. We use AAA VR Cinema, and we've also used VR Player, both of which are available free (with ads in the UI) or you can pay for them to remove the ads.

I think that, even if you were using a newer "Daydream" 3D device, you'd have to use a movie player. Something needs to feed the movie through the VR engine and do the image separation, warping, and general UI.

Thanks again!
