Hi Alan,
that's interesting. I haven't thought about the VNC option. I will need A VNC server on my Linux computer which allows me to send the content of the GEM window only.
Note to self and anyone searching this some day: this works with x11vnc. Use the command xwininfo to find out the ID of the window to be shared, then use x11vnc -id {id number here} to share only one window to the vnc client.
However cardboard-vnc-free is doing too much. First of all, it controls the moise pointer on the server (as a VNC client should) but I don't need that. There is an option "Viewer" in the connection settings that will diable this and lower the latency from about 3 seconds to 1 second.
cardboard-vnc-free is also adding two viewports to the shared image, to fake a 3D. That's a show stopper, because I want to use the stereo mode in GEM.
Another idea would be to use VLC on the android phone to open a stream that is sent by the computer via Pd/Gem and some way to cast the stream.
I think this is the way to go. It also has lower latency than a VNC connection.
What's the best way to stream a GEM window, so that I can play this stream with VLC on the Android device?

Hey Max,
Recently I have been looking at this very subject, in the end using trinus vr (trinusvirtualreality.com http://trinusvirtualreality.com) on windows was the easiest solution for me
I have tried something similar on linux (Fedora) but my problem was just getting my PC to actually connect with my phone- this would be trivial I assume for someone who is experienced setting up VNC connections/networking on Linux. So take a look at these and good luck

Hi list, I'm looking for a solution to use the gem output on an android phone for vr. I found this app, but it is windows only, no linux host. http://www.swatterco.com/vr_streamer.php <http://www.swatterco.com/vr_streamer.php> Any ideas about this? m.
