First usable version, not a tech test
🕑 Added 2016-07-05 11:38:58 +0000 UTC"It pulls you down via the binaural beats and keeps you there…. literally forever. In VR you can look around, but you can’t escape the spiral. You float in space, stars all around you, but you don’t really notice them, you are kept in a tight grip of trance. It does not end, not until someone gets you out of it… Better have a timer somewhere and let’s hope you will have the strength to remove the VR headset by then and pull away… Or maybe you don’t really want that?"
This is th first version designed to be just used to go into trance. The Spirals are always in front of you.
Okay, dear patrons, I need your participation if you want to test this on Samsung GearVR or any other platform not yet posted. I'll make sure to build you a version if it is possible.

Okay, I had a similar problem which I though I fixed. Maybe the fix didn't work perfectly or theres still some other problem. Would you be so kind and check if the problem persists with the MMM Test2 I just posted? I know I made the fix more stable, but maybe there's a problem I haven't adressed.

One issue that I have noticed, not sure if it is only on the vive or not, is that over time (1 hour) the red spiral moves noticeably off center.
Thanks, that's great to know! I won't be able to buy a Vive before September. Haven't thought about a mute button yet, I'll keep it in mind. The coming tech test 2 won't have it yet, but the binaural beats won't be as loud. :)

Works well on the Vive with revive! One thing I would like that should be easy to add would be a mute button.

Well, I don't have a VR thingamajig. It doesn't travel well and I work on ship's with limited personal storage. I do have an Android phone. Several of the cardboard frames fold down small enough to take with me.
Well, letting a VR game run, just like any other game, will make you r phone hot eventually, especially after you let it run a full hour. Some games can counter that with reduced framerate and such but that isn't an option in our case as a VR game should render at at least 60fps.
So you tried the non-VR version? And yes, this vesion doesn't have text. :) But I'm making a modified version for you right now, will send you a message later with the link. :)

Incidentally, phone got really hot! I don't have a convenient way to run a resource display while the app runs. I hope you do and can find something.

Still no text on my device. Maybe this is intentional? Using the cardboard apk. I let the app run for about an hour, sitting on my desk while did other things. Text never appeared. Haven't yet tested to see if it will actually take me out yet. Waiting to receive a cardboard. :)
