Yes, immerGallery supports both photos and videos, and you can combine them freely in VR slideshows.

For the best experience, we recommend using .jpg images and .mp4, .mkv or .mov videos.

On Android VR headsets such as Meta Quest or PICO, we recommend /sdcard/Pictures for images and /sdcard/Movies for videos. On Windows, use the system’s Pictures and Videos folders. Other accessible folders can be used as well.

immerGallery supports the following image formats:

• .jpg / .jpeg

• .png

• .mpo

• .webp

• .bmp

• .heic — including 2D and 3D spatial images

• .tiff / .tif

• .gif — static images

• .jps — 3D side-by-side stereo JPEG, mainly for low field-of-view images

immerGallery also supports the following video formats:

• .mp4

• .mkv

• .mov

• .avi

• .mpg / .mpeg

• .webm

• .vob

• .wmv

• .rm

• .wtv

• .3gp

• .asf

• .f4v

• .flv

• .mts

• .ts

When loading files through UPnP, supported formats may depend on the media server.

Note: Video playback can also depend on the codec used inside the file, not only on the file extension.

You can add or remove favorites in three ways:

a) Use the heart button at the top of the menu
b) Click the top-right corner of a thumbnail
c) Press the B or Y button while viewing media with the menu closed 

The behavior depends on what you are doing:

When you are viewing an image or video in playback mode, the heart toggles that current media file as a favorite.

When playback has not started, or after pressing Stop Playback, no single media file is selected. In this case, the heart toggles the current folder as a favorite.

The heart on a thumbnail always toggles that specific item directly.

Favorites first show all favorite folders. After that, individually added media files are sorted alphabetically by their full path, so files from the same folder stay grouped together.

If you remove the currently playing item while viewing your favorites, playback may stop because the favorites list is reorganized.

A single folder can contain up to 5,000 media files.

For best performance on standalone VR headsets, we recommend organizing very large collections into smaller subfolders.

immerGallery currently supports English only.

We realize that more languages would make the app easier to use for some people, and we take this seriously. At the moment, the app is still evolving quickly, with frequent changes to features and the user interface, so professional translations would slow down development.

We will look at multi-language support again in the future.

The URL bar in the Download tab can download .zip files that are accessible through http or https. Please note:

• Special characters inside the .zip file may cause issues during extraction. For best compatibility, we recommend avoiding them.
• If the .zip file contains other .zip files, those nested archives will not be extracted.
• You do not need to select a folder first. immerGallery automatically creates a folder based on the archive name. For example, Gallery Collection.zip will be extracted into a folder named Gallery Collection.

To avoid typing long URLs, you can use a URL shortener. For Dropbox links, make sure the shared link uses dl=1 for direct download. Links with dl=0 open a web page instead and are not supported for direct download in immerGallery.

In the full version of immerGallery, you can connect to a public Pastebin post by entering only the Pastebin ID, not the full URL.

For example, enter only an ID like:

LigdUX

immerGallery scans the Pastebin text for direct download links. These links must point to password-free .zip files that start downloading directly, without login pages, captchas, or web previews. The archives can contain images, videos, audio files, .immerVR sidecar files, and subfolders.

To label downloads, immerGallery uses the quoted text before a link, or otherwise the word directly before the link.

Example Pastebin content:

"Gallery Regensburg" https://immerVR.com/files/pasteBin/regensburg.zip

In this example, the download would be shown as Gallery Regensburg.

immerGallery includes an easy 3D Camera mode, which we recommend starting with. It works out of the box and can already produce reasonably good 3D results.

There is also an expert mode for capturing at higher resolution. This mode requires Android system-level capture settings to be sent to the Quest 3 over USB, for example with adb or SideQuest VR.

For good 3D photos or videos, it is important to keep the headset level. Roll rotation should be avoided, and pitch rotation should be minimized where possible. immerGallery can show a water scale / electronic level overlay to help align the view.

Setup

• Enable Developer Mode on your Quest 3 

• Connect the Quest 3 to a PC over USB.  

• Apply the following capture settings with adb

  adb shell setprop debug.oculus.screenCaptureEye 2

  adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.width 3840

  adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.height 1920

  adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.fps 30

  adb shell setprop debug.oculus.fullRateCapture 0

  adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.bitrate 40000000

Windows Command Prompt:
adb shell setprop debug.oculus.screenCaptureEye 2 && adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.width 3840 && adb shell setprop  debug.oculus.capture.height 1920 && adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.fps 30 && adb shell setprop debug.oculus.fullRateCapture 0 && adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.bitrate 40000000

Windows PowerShell:
adb shell setprop debug.oculus.screenCaptureEye 2; adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.width 3840; adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.height 1920; adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.fps 30; adb shell setprop debug.oculus.fullRateCapture 0; adb shell setprop debug.oculus.capture.bitrate 40000000 

• Optional: to keep the Quest running until you press the power button, you can disable the proximity sensor:
adb shell am broadcast -a com.oculus.vrpowermanager.prox_close

• Boundary (guardian) needs to be enabled or the recorded video is black

• Start recording:

  ◦ Open Meta menu with the Meta button ∞

  ◦ Press record

  ◦ Close Meta menu

  ◦ When done, stop recording

• The recorded video is saved on Quest 3 under: Oculus/VideoShots

In immerGallery, you can use the automatic extraction options to create images from the video, including leveled image extraction. The extracted images are saved into the Quest’s /Pictures folder.

• Enjoy 3D photos in immerGallery! 

Water scale / electronic levelThe water scale helps you avoid unwanted roll and pitch rotation.

In auto-switch mode, the overlay is shown for a few seconds, then hidden, then shown again. This helps you align the headset and later extract frames where the view was level but the overlay was not visible.

For recording video, you may prefer the regular mode. The water scale can be toggled with the controller trigger. This lets you align the view first, hide the overlay, and then record the usable part of the video.

Additional notes

The capture settings above use the highest resolution we know with a valid 1:1 per-eye stereo aspect ratio. The bitrate value of 40,000,000 is the highest supported bitrate we are aware of for this setup.

In the Meta menu under Settings - System - Camera, image stabilization options are available. For extracting frames as 3D photos, we recommend keeping stabilization off. For video recording, low stabilization can improve viewing comfort, but fast movements should still be avoided. 

Multiplayer on Meta, PICO, or Steam requires valid app authentication through the respective app store.

This should work automatically for regular purchases installed through the official store. It may not work for test builds, unofficial installations, or versions that are not correctly registered.

For Meta: If multiple Meta accounts are used on the same VR device, multiplayer requires that the main account on the device owns a purchased version of immerGallery.

Many immerGallery functions can be controlled with voice commands. Some commands are context-sensitive and only work in certain views or menus.

Similar words may be supported for the same action. For example, show and open can often be used interchangeably.

For toggle options, the opposite command usually works as well. For example, if there is an enable command, the corresponding disable command is typically supported too.
