Working on 360 video for google cardboard with Unity5
Hi guys, I am new for Unity.
I am working on a project with google cardboard, the idea of this project is just playing 360 video and viewing with google cardboard like the virtual tour (I have downloaded one of the 360 video from here http://www.kolor.com/360-video/gallery ).
i am doing this with creating a 3D sphere in unity and trying to put the video texture INSIDE the sphere, and also put the camera inside the sphere.
however, i have no idea how to put the video texture INSIDE the sphere and play it.
is there any tutorial for me? many thanks!

Hi,
I'm trying to do the same thing... Unfortunatly, I've seen that smartphone(android and IOs) cannot read MovieTexture, but only full-screen video (http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-MovieTexture.html)... For know I don't know how solve that but I let you know when(if) I found a solution.
For your answer about reverse the texture you can follow this tutorial for oculus rift.
Ok... there no good way to do that. Some plugins that you need to pay work, but not on the good way for real project purpose(to much restriction...). I will work on native plugins for Android and IOs and I will share them (if they work).

You can use the EasyMovieTexture assets in the Asset store. Works on Android and iOS.

AVPro is really good plugin for this purpose. It also has a sample project which implements 360 video (works on mobile as well).
