Use your Controller phone
Open supported Android games, videos, apps, browsers, or local media from the phone you control.
Wireless VR-style viewing for Android
Turn two compatible Android phones into a wireless VR-style display experience for watching, playing, and exploring supported Android screen content.
What PlayerCast does
PlayerCast turns one Android device into the Controller and another Android phone into the Display. Place the Display phone inside a compatible VR Box-style viewer and experience your Android screen in a more personal, immersive way.
More than a VR video player
Most VR players keep you inside one player app. PlayerCast keeps the Controller phone in charge, so you can move between supported video apps, games, browsing, local media, and everyday Android content.
Your Controller phone becomes the source device. Your second phone becomes the private VR-style display.
