Overview

The player opens video files from a computer and, according to its Steam page, detects automatically whether a file is 2D, 3D, 180-degree or 360-degree footage, so the viewer does not have to choose the format by hand. It handles side-by-side and over-under 3D layouts and lists 4K playback for both local and streamed files.^[1] It can also stream from UPnP/DLNA media servers on the same Wi-Fi network.^[2]

For flat 2D and 3D films the player offers a theater mode, and the listing mentions a user interface and a VR environment.^[1] Steam tags the app as VR only with tracked controller support and partial controller support.^[2]
