3D movie Watching Applications

You can watch 3D movies on your Meta Quest 2 using a few different 3D movie-watching applications. They will cost some money (per movie), but watching them together is a great social experience.

This is because you will be seated in a virtual theatre with others watching the same 3D movie.

Some of the most popular applications for watching movies in three dimensions are:

1. Bigscreen
2. Oculus Cinema
3. FandangoNow

1. Bigscreen on Meta Quest 2

Bigscreen is a social VR theatre where you may watch a movie with your friends and family and other fans from around the world. You can choose from a collection of 4 movies released each Friday (including 3D titles).

You must buy a ticket (between $3 and $5), valid for 48 hours. You can watch the movie alone or in a group setting. You can even ask your loved ones to join you during a private session (they must also purchase tickets)

2. Oculus Cinema

With Oculus Cinema, you can watch your collection of movies and TV shows in a virtual reality theatre. You may also choose from a wide range of popular films and television programs to buy or rent.

If you have ripped your Blu-Ray discs, you can watch them in three dimensions by adding the files to your Oculus Media Library. To do this;

1. Launch the Oculus Media Player
2. Select the “Local Files” tab.
3. Click “Add Folder” and select the folder that contains the movie file.
4. The movie should now appear in your Oculus Media Player library.
5. Select the movie and click “Play.”
6. You will now be able to watch the movie in VR.

To watch the movie in three dimensions, make sure that you have selected “Side by Side” from the playback options.

3. Using FandangoNOW on Meta Quest 2

FandangoNow is an online movie streaming service that offers a variety of movies in three dimensions. It offers a wide selection of movies in both standard and high definition.

To watch movies on FandangoNOW:

Install the FandangoNOW App

You can install the FandangoNOW app on your Meta Quest by visiting the Oculus Store. To do this, launch the Oculus app on your phone and go to “Library.” Select “FandangoNOW” from the list of apps and click “Install.”

Launch FandangoNOW on Your Meta Quest

Once FandangoNOW is installed on your Meta Quest, launch the app. You will need to sign in with your Fandango account. If you don’t have a Fandango account, you can create one for free.

Browse the Movie Selection

Once you’re signed in, you can browse the movie selection and start watching movies in three dimensions. FandangoNOW offers a wide selection of movies in both standard and high definition.

Purchase Blu-Ray Movies

Another way you can watch movies in three dimensions is by purchasing them on Blu-ray. Blu-ray discs are optical discs that allow you to store high-definition video and audio. Many movies are now being released on Blu-ray, including some in three dimensions.

There are two main ways you can watch 3D Blue-Ray movies on your Meta Quest 2:

1. Using a PC
2. Ripping your 3D Blu-Rays

Let’s discuss each in further detail:

Using PC

You need a PC with a Blue-Ray drive. After you load the 3D Blue-Ray on your computer, you can use screen share to watch it on your Meta Quest 2. This will enable you to watch the movie in three dimensions.

To do this, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install Virtual Desktop on your Computer

The first thing you need to do is install the Virtual Desktop app on your computer. You can do this by visiting the Oculus website and downloading the app. Once the app is installed, launch it and sign in with your Oculus account.

Step 2: Install Virtual Desktop on Your Meta Quest

Now that you have installed Virtual Desktop on your computer, you need to install the app on your Meta Quest. To do this, open the Oculus app on your phone and go to “Library.” Select “Virtual Desktop” from the list of apps and click “Install.”

Step 3: Launch Virtual Desktop on Your Meta Quest

Once Virtual Desktop is installed on your Meta Quest, launch the app. You should see your computer’s desktop in VR.

Step 4: Start Playing the Movie

Now, you need to start playing the movie on your computer. Launch the media player of your choice and load the Blu-Ray disc to do this. Once the disc is loaded, press “Play.”

You should now see the movie playing on your computer’s desktop in VR. To watch the movie in three dimensions, make sure that you have selected “Side by Side” from the playback options.

Ripping your Blu-Rays

Another way you can watch movies in three dimensions is by ripping them to your computer. Ripping is the process of copying data from a physical disc to a digital format. This allows you to store the movie on your computer and watch it without the need for a physical disc.

To rip your Blu-Ray discs, you need to use a Blu-Ray ripper. This is a piece of software that allows you to copy data from a Blu-Ray disc to your computer. There are many Blu-Ray rippers available, but I recommend using MakeMKV.

• MakeMKV is available for free, and it’s very easy to use. To rip a Blu-Ray disc using MakeMKV, do the following:
• Launch MakeMKV and insert the Blu-Ray disc into your computer’s optical drive. Select the Blu-Ray disc from the list of drives and click “Make MKV.”
• MakeMKV will now start ripping the Blu-Ray disc. This process can take a while, depending on the size of the movie.

Once MakeMKV has finished ripping the Blu-Ray disc, you will find the movie file in the “Output Folder.”

The movie file will be in the MKV format.

You can now watch the movie in VR using the Oculus Media Player. To do this, launch the Oculus Media Player and select the “Local Files” tab. Click “Add Folder” and select the folder that contains the movie file.

The movie should now appear in the Oculus Media Player library. Select the movie and click “Play.” You will now be able to watch the movie in VR. To watch the movie in three dimensions, make sure that you have selected “Side by Side” from the playback options.

Can I Watch 3D Movies on the Meta Quest 2? | Final Thoughts

You can watch three-dimensional movies on the Meta Quest using a few different methods. You can either use the Oculus Media Player to watch movies you have ripped from Blu-Ray discs or a movie streaming service like FandangoNOW.
