Firstly, I can't disagree with the idea of choice and running the device the way you like.
However, I'm all for the VR stuff. Bring it on. Also it would appear that AR is getting poised to explode on this platform and I am excited to see what happens. I like the VR option and am very glad I have it on such a beautiful and capable device.

None of the VR videos a buddy of mine shot will work when transferred into the video folders of the app. Not the 180 or 360 stuff. The provided app will not play them back in full screen mode.
Check the file format. I believe it must be mp4. I just downloaded 2 vidz off of YouTube and one of those needed conversion to mp4, which
the downloader accomplished for me. I placed them both in the 360 Video folder and then launched VR. Both of them appeared and played.
I've also noticed that if you download a VR App from the Store, it has to be played standalone. If you download through the VR Store app Alcatel provided (which is just a portal into the store) it still does not appear in your Games folder inside Launcher. This is not acceptable. I'll play with it a bit... I believe that you need to edit inside HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG. At least that is where you find entries for Fellcraft and Zombie Shooter which do show in the launcher.
