Whirligig Remote Control

Control Whirligig VR media player across multiple headsets from your PC. Designed for both home users and professional setups like museums, galleries, and exhibitions.

What is it?

A desktop companion app that automatically discovers any VR headsets running Whirligig on your local Wi-Fi network. No cables, no developer mode, no setup — just launch both apps and they find each other.

Features

Device Management

• Auto-discovers headsets on your network — no IP addresses or configuration needed
• Select individual headsets or groups to send commands to specific devices
• Select All / Clear All for quick multi-device management

Playback Control

• Play, pause, stop, and restart media on selected headsets
• Load videos directly from the headset's media folders
• Send custom commands to Whirligig

File Browser

• Browse media files on connected headsets
• Browse local files on your PC (Videos, Pictures, Music, Downloads)
• File list shows only files common to all selected headsets — instantly see what's synced and what's missing

File Transfer

• Send files from your PC to selected headsets over Wi-Fi
• Automatic folder mapping (PC Videos → headset Movies folder, etc.)
• Skips files that already exist on the headset (same name and size)
• Live progress tracking per device
• Transfer status log showing complete, skipped, and failed devices

File Management

• Delete files from headsets remotely

Use Cases

Home User Control Whirligig from your desk without putting the headset on. Browse and load videos, manage your media library, and transfer new content — all from your PC.
