Play a Video on multiple Vive Focus Headsets at the same time.

Hello guys,

I want to play a video across multiple Vive focus headsets, So I'd like to know how to get started ?

I assume you'll have to create your own video player connected to a server, for minimal latency I'd go for a socket based server.

Use events such as
Play and pause - Broadcasted to all devices
Sync sanity - Each player tells the hub where they are down to a second or millisecond level, if a problem with the sync is detected correct that device accordingly. If you do choose a ms level bare in mind the latency between the device and the hub server.
Skip - If you want a skip / search function the server could dictate that as well.

Regarding what system to use I'd use Unity or Unreal

If you want to use a premade solution, there are apps out there which does this but they're meant for recreation and not suitable for a commercial easy to use scenario.

@Ahmed Ashour ,

@henrikvrtraveler is right, this would be a custom project and his response's focus about latency is dead-on, you'd want to solve for it in a way that has the least amount of latency.

The only turnkey solution I currently know that can accomplish this is ModalVR.
