To tackle motion tracking for the VR experience, we will use a gyroscopic mouse.
By connecting the phone via a sync cable, we can minimize latency and complexity while maximizing image quality. There are many wireless solutions that work, but they often have problems when it comes to quality and latency. Because phones do not natively work as monitors for your PC, we will need streaming apps to get the image to the phone. The principal here is to mirror your PC display to your phone’s screen. This project will cost $10-60 depending on what you already have, and does not require any real technical knowledge to setup, unlike many LED-tracking methods. If you don’t want to do that project, products like Google Cardboard or Durovis Dive will also work great for this.
