Take your seat. The show begins.

The app's real theater, right here in your browser. Start the film, dim the lights, watch the room take on its colors and hear the sound come from the speakers. With headphones, it's even better.

Theaters

Pick your theater, not your couch.

Every theater is modeled seat by seat and lit by ray tracing, then tuned to stay sharp and smooth, even on a Quest 2.

A starry night, total darkness, or your own room in passthrough, with the screen right in front of you.

7.1 binaural surround sound

The sound comes from the theater, not your headset.

Each channel of the soundtrack becomes a speaker placed in the room. The sound is computed for the shape of your ears (HRTF) and follows your head: an explosion on your left stays on your left when you turn.

Dialogue can be boosted, night mode keeps explosions in check, and 360° videos keep their ambisonic sound.

Up to 7.1HRTF + head trackingTrueHD, DTS-HDAmbiX ambisonics

Dynamic ambient lighting

When the screen catches fire, so does the room.

The film's colors play across the walls, seats and curtains in real time. A fire on screen turns the whole theater red; a night scene bathes it in blue.

Drag the bar to compare. You can also set the house lights, and the effect pauses on its own when the headset needs the headroom.

Formats

If it's a video, Lumenoir plays it.

The format is recognized on its own and the picture set up for each eye. You keep the original audio tracks and subtitles.

Questions

What people ask us.

How do I watch movies in VR on a Meta Quest?

Install Lumenoir from the Meta Horizon Store, then open your videos: those on the headset, on a USB-C drive, on your Plex or Jellyfin server, or on your NAS. Pick a theater, and the film appears on a cinema screen, at the right size, with the sound placed around you.

Which video player should I use on Meta Quest 3 or 3S?

A good VR player should play your formats without conversion, keep the original picture and sound, and never make you copy your files. Lumenoir plays 4K HDR, TrueHD and DTS-HD, 3D, VR180 and 360°, and connects directly to Plex, Jellyfin and NAS drives.

How do I play 3D movies on a Meta Quest?

Side-by-side (SBS) and over-under (OU) 3D films are recognized on their own from their metadata or file name. Lumenoir sends one picture to each eye: you see depth without glasses. iPhone spatial videos play in true 3D.

Does Lumenoir play VR180 and 360° videos?

Yes, including fisheye up to 220° and the ambisonic sound of 360° videos. The format is detected automatically, and you can change it by hand during playback.

Can I watch Plex on a Meta Quest?

Yes, for free. Link your account with a code on plex.tv/link, then find your libraries, collections, playlists and resume points, in original quality when your network allows it.

How do I play videos from my NAS on the Quest?

With Premium, Lumenoir connects to the shared folders of your NAS (Synology, QNAP, UGREEN, Freebox, PC or Mac) over SMB, and to DLNA, WebDAV, FTP and SFTP servers. Videos stream live, with posters and resume.

Can I play a Blu-ray or a DVD in VR?

Yes, from your own copies: ISO images and VIDEO_TS or BDMV folders. Every language, commentary and subtitle on the disc is available, with the original sound. Disc menus are not supported.

Do I need an account?

No. Lumenoir has no accounts. Each source signs in its own way, directly from the headset.

Is the free version limited?

It plays everything in original quality, 4K and HDR included, with no ads or watermark. Premium adds the large-format auditorium, unlimited 3D and VR, 7.1 sound, ambient lighting, NAS and discs. Every day, 20 minutes of Premium are on the house.

Is Premium a subscription?

No. It is a one-time purchase on the Meta Horizon Store, valid for life and on all your Meta headsets with the same account.

Which headsets does Lumenoir run on?

Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S and Pro. The app is tuned first for the Quest 2, the most demanding, so it stays smooth everywhere.

The guide

Watching movies in VR: what to know.

A private cinema in a headset

A headset like the Meta Quest 3 shows a different picture to each eye, very close to them. A VR video player uses this to put a screen of any size in front of you, in a real theater, at the right distance. That is what makes it feel like going to the movies, at home, without disturbing anyone.

3D, VR180, 360°: what's the difference?

A classic 3D film is made of two pictures, side by side or one above the other: you watch it on a screen, with depth. A VR180 video wraps halfway around you, in front; a 360° video wraps all the way. Fisheye videos come from cameras with very wide lenses. Lumenoir recognizes these formats and shows them correctly with no setup.

Keeping the original quality

Many setups convert your films on the fly, which costs quality and puts the server to work. Lumenoir plays files as they are: 4K, HDR10, HLG, TrueHD or DTS-HD sound. Decoding happens in the headset, on the video processor built for it.

Plex, Jellyfin or a NAS?

Plex and Jellyfin organize your library with posters, summaries and collections: Lumenoir connects to them directly. If your films simply sit in folders on a NAS or a computer, Lumenoir plays them over SMB, DLNA, WebDAV, FTP or SFTP, with nothing else to install.

Sound, half of the cinema

In a theater, sound comes from everywhere. Lumenoir puts each channel of a 5.1 or 7.1 soundtrack in its place in the virtual room and computes it for your ears. With the Quest's built-in speakers or headphones, voices stay in front of you and ambiences surround you.

Comfort and battery

A well-made theater tires the eyes less than a screen floating in the void. Lumenoir keeps 90 frames per second in the menus, follows the film's frame rate during playback, and lowers power use while you watch without moving.
