Do you have photos on your Quest that you would like to see on a big screen? VR Photo Slideshow is a photo viewer that provides you with up to 5 screens to view your local photos.
You can define the number of screens visible, the position and size of each screen, if you prefer to view the next image sequentially in the directory or randomly.
Viewing the next photo can be done automatically after a certain time or manually using the left controller joystick.
VR Photo Slideshow will by default look at images (e.g. jpg files) in the /Pictures directory, if your photos are in another directory, use the dropdown component at the right of the directory field to select another directory.
How to use:
* Left joystick click to show hide the control panel
* Left joystick right/left to the next/previous photo
* X (left joystick) toggle pause slideshow
* Y (left joystick) toggle random next photo
* A (right joystick) add a new screen (up to 5)
* B (right joystick) remove a screen
Tips:
1) If you have many screens open or if you have the slideshow speed below 1 second, I would recommend not to use too large image files. Full HD jpeg photos (1920 x 1080) are often good enough to watch photos.
2) If you don't see the photos, make sure there is no '.nomedia' file in the selected directory using the Files app
3) In the Files app, click on the cloud icon to unsync medias otherwise your photos will be by default synchronized with the meta cloud

It certainly packs a punch in terms of utility, but there are a few nuances that could elevate its user experience to a whole new level.
First and foremost, while the app proves to be a handy companion in various scenarios, it's a bit limiting that it requires headset tracking to be active. Enabling functionality without the need for tracking would open up possibilities for usage during travel, such as on a plane.
Moreover, enhancing the app's interface by allowing users to reposition screens akin to rearranging items on a PC screen would be a welcomed feature. This flexibility would empower users to customize their virtual environment to suit their preferences and optimize their workflow.
Another area for improvement: Currently, users are required to carry the left thumbstick everywhere just to remove the menu, which can be cumbersome. Incorporating an option to remove the menu with the right thumbstick would streamline the user experience and add convenience.
Furthermore, providing clear reminders about granting storage permissions to the app, is essential. Otherwise the app can't access your photos.
In conclusion, while the Oculus app impresses with its utility, addressing these caveats would undoubtedly enhance its overall functionality and user satisfaction. With these improvements, the app has the potential to become an indispensable tool for Oculus users across various contexts and environments.
So far i like this app my biggest complaint is that when i open a file to view the images inside like when i open a comic i have saved it starts at then end and there is no way to pick what order the picutes are viewed in, if this was added i think this app would be more user friendly
Despite its basic user interface, this application is truly remarkable. It offers the ability to display one or multiple albums dynamically or statically within a virtual space. The ease of configuring this virtual environment to showcase individual images as separate canvases is a standout feature. I trully anticipate future updates with more options, such as diverse album sorting methods, and perhaps a more visually appealing user interface. Nonetheless, this app is undeniably a must-have for anyone seeking to showcase their photos in a virtual space environment
