However, I came across many people who are trying to find a proper way on how to connect VR to PC or theirLAPTOP but they are not able to because the Virtual Reality boxes they have are not OCULUS RIFT with an HDMI port that can be connected with PC/LAPTOP using an HDMI PORT directly.

After a few hours of search in order to know how to connect VR to PC, I came across a software called TRINUS VR. This software is the OCULUS for the low-cost Virtual Reality boxes which helps you connect your PC with the Virtual reality box you are using.

Now let me tell you how you can use this software in your PC and Smartphone to make a virtual bridge between the Virtual Reality box, your smartphone, and your PC.

Here I will tell you about the tools that you need that will tell you How to connect VR to PC. So the tools you need to connect the Virtual Reality box and your smartphone are either a MICRO USB cable for android phones or a high-speed WI-FI connection and the TRINUS VR software.

2. After that, go to GOOGLE PLAY STORE from your SMARTPHONE and download the Trinus VR app, it has two versions one is the lite version and the other one is the paid version which will cost you 15-18 thousand Naira
