The Gear VR’s capabilities are demonstrated with a set of included videos and others available from the Oculus Store. It not only can be used to watch your own imported 2D and 3D movies, it can also be used to view content shot and compiled for 360-degree presentation thanks to head tracking capabilities built into in the the Oculus-powered platform.Now, you can follow the steps below to add your own 3D videos and movies to Gear VR for watching. 

To view your own 3D videos and movies on your Gear VR, follow these steps:
  • On your MicroSD card file directory, navigate to Oculus > Movies > Your Movies
  • Create a new folder within "Your Movies" and label it "3D"
  • Import or move your side-by-side 3D videos into your newly created "3D" folder
  • Once you have created your 3D content folder and imported compatible video files, insert your MicroSD card into your Galaxy Note 4 (if it isn't already), dock the phone in your Gear VR, and don the virtual reality headset.
Then:
