It will fit in a cheap $22 viewer from ebay… It would probably fit the gear vr, it is a similar sized phone.
And thanks for pointing me in the direction of a VR for G3 device as that is $25, i’ll get one of those too 
Cool let us know how it performs. Still very dissapointed about local LG guys. You won’t believe how many people I had to speak to at the local LG headoffice and the distribution centre, retailers etc before I finally got an official answer. Most guys I spoke to never even heard of the VR for G3
I went this morning on samsung flagstore to tried your link but none of them can be viewed online with a samsung Gear VR. It seems that the pano must be loaded into the phone or to the samsung online store, according to the Samsung salesman.
Anyway, the demo was done on the samsung galaxy S6, the best screen so far for VR headset according to my research, but it is still disappointing. Lot of pixel, the color are oversaturate and the 3D filling is not astonishing.
I read a lot of review, most of them said “incredible, best experience ever…” but it sounds like this review are done by afficionados of such techno or teenager that play game all days, because at this point, after trying the occulus and now the gear VR, I feel like it is not yet ready.

Just for information about VR authoring tools.
The LG G3 should be really good for VR, especially when used with on of the better quality Google Cardboard viewers - very hight resolution IPS screen.
I’ve tried quite a few phones and we have also bought several different viewers to test. In my experience the type of display matters as much as the resolution. I was surprised how well an iPhone 6 (standard 6 not 6+) worked compared to a Nexus 6. The Nexus’s 6" screen has a resolution of 2560x1440 (493 ppi) which you would think would be far better than the iPhone’s 4.7" 1334x750 (326 ppi) screen. While the nexus clearly has the better resolution, to my eyes a least, the image on IPS screen looks smoother than AMOLED on the Nexus. I could clearly see the RGB LEDs on the Nexus. I have since bought a couple of Moto X Styles which have been really impressive for the VR stuff.
If anyone is interested the best viewer I have found so far this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/DEFAIRY-Adjustment-Virtual-Reality-Headset-VR-magnet-PD-Adjustable/dp/B013WYLFNQ
Yes I agree, I have a oculus DK2 and a iphone 6 with a similar viewer at 30$ and I find that for most of the cases, the iphone works way better than oculus as the resolution is way better.
Oculus I can really obviously see the pixels, with the iphone and the viewer, not that much, and it makes a huge difference.
On the flip side, oculus you really have a wide field of view as the iphone/viewer it looks like you look through a keyhole.
In fact,looking at the same thing, I can’t really make my choice if I prefer one or the other, as they have pro and cons on both sides, but a iphone and a viewer is definitely a great alternative.
Just wishing the next gen of phones has a 4k screen or something similar, that will blow our socks off
by the way, shit :

e: actually just saw the resolution difference between the nexus and iphone, i guess it’s not just down to this.
danielbrew - it kind of is resolution, it’s due to them having a pentile display and everyone using them counting higher.
Their displays are laid out like this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile\_matrix\_family#/media/File:Nexus\_one\_screen\_microscope.jpg
they’re counting both halves of the green separately in their pixel resolution (half a green counts as one pixel), but overall you’ve got 1/3rd less complete rgb groups.
Sorry if my post was a bit confusing. I didn’t mean the iPhone was better than the nexus, I was just surprised how good the iPhone was with roughly a quarter of the pixels. The detail was far better on the nexus, it was just I could see how the screen worked like in your wiki post. My Moto X Style has the and resolution as the Nexus but uses IPS which to my eyes is the best phone for VR I’ve found.
Sony are releasing a 4k phone next month, Z5 premium, or something like that.
Unfortunatly, that one is not available on amazon.fr
They don’t ship to Australia either.
I should have the LG G3 soon and I will compare vs iphone 6+ and vs Sony Z2 and vs Iphone 5. In theory the G3 has the best screen.
Gosh I’d like to try that one out with a head set!
Why can’t they use those type of screens in real headset like oculus etc just to get a wider field of view.
Aren’t out yet but they seems already so outdated with those screen that are only 2k
Stan
The reason why oculus and vive are already out of date res wise is because they are geared towards gaming and real time applications. A top top end computer today will more or less be the minimum requirement for the first gen of headset.
So for pre rendered 3d I think we are better off with the ultra portable phone based VR… which is actually more expensive unless you count the fact that you need a phone anyway.
I agree. I broke my Nexus 6 in the summer so I needed a new phone anyway, when the insurance paid up I looked for something I thought would work well for VR.
Sony Z5 Premium review - 806 ppi!!
http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/sony-xperia-z5-premium-1303153/review
seems that their is no app that can stream 4K at the moment and the phone itself can’t used the 4K outside of it’s own player.
I’m very happy with my G3
Just need a good cheap VR headset/viewer
(good and cheap hehehe, at least I didn’t say I need it good, cheap and yesterday)
This seems to be the same with different branding.

Morné, the headset just needs to be reasonably well made and adjustable for both interpupillary distance and focus.
thanks to add the link please.
Sorry done now.
Well that’s quite disapointing to not let you view your content at 4k if you wish.
No matter battery life, VR and specially headsets with mobile phones, will rise as being a business market where you’d have the phone dedicated to that task only.
At least if they released the web browser being 4k, KRPano would work in 4k
