This is my general feeling of dealing with the whole process of attempting to get BigsreenVR to 3d face scan me via Safari Mobile IOS so that I could maybe play some silly games. Alright dudes. This is like the 12th time you’ve sent me this emails and like the 12th time I’ve tried this I’ve tried this on my phone I’ve tried this on my wife’s iPhone I’ve tried this on my wife’s Ipad I’ve attached photos showing my setting and yet still I get the stuck on loading screen (See replies for more)

I wanted to get myself a BigScreen VR for Christmas. In order to get one, you need to do a 3d depth face scan using an IOS device that has privacy settings and content blockers set to as permissive as possible. Except even after doing that it doesn’t work. The solution literally listed on the customer support site was to either try someone else’s IOS device, or to fucking drive to an Apple Store and hope they let u plug ur email into their germy, who knows what software’s running on it, demo iPhones and hope it successfully runs their shitty WebKit app.

Couldn’t get the face scan working, definitely not gonna plug my email into a demo iPhone, and I’m pretty sure I don’t live near an Apple Store anyways.

BigScreen can get fucked, stick with Steam Index VR

    I don’t know that it is. BigscreenVR is not an Apple product, so your comment doesn’t feel particularly relevant.

    They probably chose iPhones because they’re the most common device that has the capacity to get a 3D scan of someone’s face. They’re probably able to get semi-consistent results with this approach, whereas opening things up to the wide variety of IR devices in laptops and Android phones would increase the number of variables and make OP’s frustrating experience even more common.

      Oh, the way it was talked about I thought BigscreenVR was an apple product. My bad.
