GoPro VR Player

GoPro VR Player

GoPro VR Player is a free 360-degree video and photo player for Windows and Mac, developed by Kolor and formerly known as Kolor Eyes. It lets users view 360-degree videos and photos on the computer screen or in a VR headset, with playback of up to 8K resolution at 60 fps in the CineForm format. Kolor was closed by GoPro in 2018, so the player is no longer developed; version 3.0.5 is the last release. The main window accepts spherical videos by drag and drop or through the Select Files button, and the menus give access to playback, audio, input, output, camera and controller settings.

GoPro VR Player lets users watch 360-degree videos and photos on the desktop or in Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets.
