Step 1: Install VirtualSensor To start, head to the Download section in your Xposed Installer app and search for VirtualSensor, then tap the top result. From here, swipe over to the Versions tab, then hit the "Download" button next to the most recent entry. Within a few seconds, Android's installer interface should come up, so tap "Install" on this screen. When that's finished, make sure to activate the module and reboot, then you'll be all set to try some Google Cardboard apps or other apps you've been wanting to use that need a gyroscope.

Step 2: Use Google Cardboard or Other Gyro-Based Features When you get back up, no further setup is needed—from now on, the vast majority of apps will simply think your phone has a gyroscope. One minor downside is that the simulated gyroscope data can lead to a little shakiness on occasion, but most VR apps will work just fine. If you'd like, you can open the VirtualSensor app from your app drawer to see a live feed of the data being simulated, which is pretty interesting. However, the first thing you'll probably want to do is install some Cardboard-compatible apps to test out the new functionality. For a good starting point on that, check out the link below for a list of our favorite Google Cardboard apps.

If you don't have a Google Cardboard headset, or other VR headset, you can test out your newfound gyroscope properties by taking a Photo Sphere with your Google Camera, or by playing any video game from the Play Store with gyroscopic features. Like mentioned before, this module does not yet work with AR mode in Pokémon GO, but we'll keep you updated if they ever get it working. Don't Miss: Can You Play Pokémon GO While Driving?
