Ratings and reviews

Please add support for importing viewer settings from Cardboard API (this isn't related to orientation provider). The sliders you got for distances don't seem to work as intended with my plain old cardboard. I also recommend looking into using the camera for orientation calculations. I'd buy the full version if it offered better performance but tempted to buy it just to support the development if it's still active.

Alas, this would be great if a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse could be used to control it, but the mouse just sits over the top meaning you have to use your head for it, and the Bluetooth keyboard doesn't input. Otherwise this would be a great companion to my Debian installation on termux.

Didn't pass through the keyboard i have plugged in to my phone. Once that is working, and better control over zooming in (and optionally restricting the view to one monitor) this would be a very cool app. Oh and the magnet button on my viewer didn't work to do anything either. would be good to make it click the mouse.
