In loving memory of Luigi Bruno Di Meo.
I would really like to include in this section all people, who sent me feedback emails, voted me on the store, or just downloaded and used this app, yours included; your support, and knowing that this app is actively used, is what motivates me to continue the development: thank you!
Being that impractical, I have unfortunately to limit the list to people who actively contributed to the app development: I apologize in advance for any omission!
My wonderful wife Silvia, for all the feedback and help she provides during all stages of development and, last but not least, for bearing a husband with a coding habit.
My dear friend Marco Ferri, for bashing relentlessy at many of my worst ideas, and occasionally providing some very good ones.
Jarod Hanko, Franco Viccia and Jordan Lee, for all the help they provided me, while I groped in the dark to make the app work on Samsung devices (and particularly Jordan, for reliably providing support ever since).
All the people who sent me a GLSL report (most of the time, without even giving me a bad rating on the store: I still can't believe how well received the app remained, despite all the bugs!).
Alex Sandrik, for helping me fixing a bug with the most pinpoint accurate report I ever received.
Timothy van de Bilt, for the feedback and support.
"Old Peculier", for his especially good ideas in the area of usability, some of which are already in the app, other waiting to be implemented.
Casper Smit, for providing me with full and detailed theater measurements and photos (which I look forward to integrate in the app), that I would have took ages to collect myself.
Hendy Irawan, for helping me working around a compatibility problem plaguing the Zenfone 2, answering my questions with patience and machine-like speed.
Jasmin Mankad, who eased my debut anxiety, by being the first to test my app with the new material-like layout, and who correctly pointed out how, after all, my app can live without a (magnetic) compass.
Aviv Salem, for helping me deal with some of my bad karma with a great bug report.
, for sending me one of their beautiful headsets, and
turning this whole futuristic experiment with smartphones,
from something I had to endure in order to try Virtual
Reality, to a truly enjoyable experience! Check it out at

you won't be disappointed!

The beautiful panorama in the "Test 360°" section of the app is a down-scaled copy of "Maiden fox shrine" by heiwa4126-san; you can find the original picture, along with other splendid panoramas by the same author here.
heiwa4126-san deserves double credits, as he made available with no charge an impressive number of enchanting panoramas on his flickr page: I made a very cursory selection, so make sure to browse his page and let me know if I missed some you would like to have in the app (besides, just watching them even without a 3D viewer, is a breathtaking experience)!

Emil Persson (aka "Humus"), who's not just damn good and writes stuff like Low-level Shader Optimization for Next-Gen and DX11 (which I didn't read as it's waaay out of my league…), who's has been so generous to make a hundred of skyboxes available for free on his site (www.humus.name). Ok, most of them are common day to day stuff, but I can't ask the man to dive into an active volcano, just to provide me with an exciting theater environment, can I?! Anyway, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have had the idea for a photografic enviroment: thank you for all the fish, Humus!

The "VR Theater" icon, "Cough Games Software" logo and splash screen have been generously donated by Marcin Kowalski, who has also been so kind to provide me the mockups and expertise required for an interface restyling (still a work in progress), and many other ideas I will not spoil in advance. In short: if it looks good, it's his work, if it doesn't, it's mine.
