My Cardboard Rift/Moculous/Boxulous

My Cardboard Rift/Moculous/Boxulous

So, I have a cardboard rift which I am going to use for Skyrim (I'm very excited!)

I bought a google cardboard from the internet. It needs modification as I wear glasses and they get smushed when I am wearing it. Just some padding to keep it off my face should be enough.

To get Skyrim on my phone, I've used:

This is mostly cribbed from this post, with Trinus VR replacing Kainy
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2bo4jx/google_cardboardbased_diy_rift_works_with_amd/

Trinus VR (http://trinusvr.com/) plus the android app: (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loxai.trinus.full)

I'm just using the free version at the moment, it gives an hour of use for free.
The interface is kid of ugly, there was a version before called Trinus Gyre which looked much better, but whatever. Trinus has built-in screen splitting, so no need for a screen splitter such as Tridef. It also doesn't play the audio through the headset, so it will play through the computer speakers or headphones instead. Trinus will let you play over Wifi or USB connection. I haven't experienced any latency with it yet.

I played with the mouse input with Trinus (which involves turning off the Windows application, changing the option and then turning it back on) but nothing worked.

To get the mouse tracking woking, I used FreePie (http://andersmalmgren.github.io/FreePIE/) and this script:http://pastebin.com/GUVfrbu7

I had an issue with the mouse not moving when FreePie wasn't focussed, but running it as admin as per this post (https://github.com/AndersMalmgren/FreePIE/issues/40) fixed that nicely.

I have yet to play an actual game of Skyrim, but its looking pretty promising.

Other applications to look into ( I tried these, I liked Trinus and Freepie best, they were simplest):
Tridef: screen splitter (https://www.tridef.com/cart/product.php?productid=3)
Kainy screen broadcaster (http://www.kainy.com/)
Riftcat screen broadcaster (https://riftcat.com/)
vireio screen splitter (http://www.mtbs3d.com/new-vireio-site)
Kinovr kind of worked, but would only run backwards

Update:

I have played skyrim, it's quite good fun! Some tips:
Set your interpupillary distance. I found the video quite blurry until it was changed.
The resolution isn't great still, so I'm going to have a play with the compression settings, it's currently (roughly) 75%.
Use a mouse. I thought I could get away with a mouse replacement, but at least in skyrim I still needed the mouse for autocentring/centring the screen, as well as using the mouse buttons.
I also will need some foam, as the Google cardboard squashed my glasses into my face. I also have the 2nd version of the cardboard, so I taped over the conductive button.
