    Hi guys,
    I read you can connect anything that has hd connection to the vr headset, through the processor unit you get with it. Can u connect android box then? Was wondering as you cud possibly put different types of files on android box and play them on to the screen in vr unit?

    Nope, for the Playstation VR, the only thing you can connect it to is a Playstation. Nothing else will work.

    I haven't tried but I have heard you can connect Xbox ones and Wii Us and they work in cinematic mode.

    You can connect most devices via the hdmi but it will only display it in cinema mode not 3D.

    If you want to watch 360 videos you need to copy them to a usb and put it in the ps4 then watch them via the video app and it will be proper VR.

    Can you copy 3D files to the PS4 and play them in 3D in cinema mode? Or do they have to be VR ?

    The media player only supports mnooscopic vr at the moment so 3d won't work.
