How does it work?

MdDS Reset VORtex overview

The MdDS Reset VORtex treatment is a web-based application, consisting of two main components.

The Viewer runs on a smartphone mounted in VR glasses. When the Viewer is working inside the VR glasses, you need another device to control the flow of the treatment, and that is what the Controller does.

Through a network connection - any network connection - between them the Controller is able to control the Viewer.

All these components have certain hardware requirements which are listed below. We provide you with the software to make all of this work, but you need to provide the hardware to run it on.

We will provide as much information as possible to help you purchase the right hardware, but please do not hesitate to reach out if you require assistance or guidance.

MdDS Reset VORtex hardware requirements

Controller

Hardware requirements for the Controller are easy: simply a device with a web browser:

A Windows PC, a Mac or a Linux PC with your choice of browser such as Chrome, Edge, Brave, Safari or Firefox;
An iPhone with Safari (the default browser on an iPhone);
An Android phone with Chrome (the default browser on Android).

The Controller needs to have a connection to the Internet (via wifi or mobile data).

Viewer smartphone

The hardware requirements for the Viewer smartphone are a bit more strict. You'll need an Android phone with the following capabilities:

Large screen, preferably 6 inches or more (make sure it can still fit your VR glasses - see below);
A bar ("normal") model is best (so not a foldable device, although that could theoretically work).

The phone also needs to be equipped with the following sensors:

Accelerometer;
Gyroscope;
Compass.

That may sound sophisticated, but there are a lot of phones that have these requirements. Also, they do not need to be expensive. For less than €/$/£200 you can find appropriate devices. Read on to get help on selecting the right VORtex Viewer device.

Choosing a new smartphone as MdDS Reset VORtex Viewer

If you need to purchase a new Android phone to use as an MdDS Reset VORtex Viewer, you need to know if it has the following characteristics:

Android-based phone (iOS is unfortunately currently not supported as a Viewer - see below)
Large screen: preferably 6 inches and up
Has Accelerator sensor
Has Gyroscope
Has Compass

Don't worry, there are a lot of phones that comply. There is an outstanding website called GSM Arena that can help you in choosing the correct phone. Its Phone Finder page allows you to select the right criteria. Here are direct links to currently available compatible phones of some of the more popular brands:

Alternatively, you can go to a store and scan the QR code below with the device you want to buy to check if it is compatible.

These are the phones we have used and tested and we know will definitely work and that we therefore can recommend:

Samsung Galaxy A21S (purchased December 2020)
OPPO A54 5G (purchased November 2021)
OnePlus Nord CE 5G 128 GB (purchased November 2021)
Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro 128 GB (purchased November 2021)
vivo Y21 (purchased November 2021)
Realme 6i (purchased January 2022)

A good tip to get a device somewhat cheaper: the Samsung Galaxy A21S (every part of this phone's name counts, including the 'S'!) has been discontinued in the meantime by Samsung. That means that it is often available on secondhand sites like Ebay. Here's the selection I found on the Belgian Ebay site. So maybe check your local secondhand sources to score one?

There are phones however that we know that do NOT work: the Samsung Galaxy A32 and the Samsung Galaxy A22. They both have a bug that prevents our software to run properly. It's a faulty WebRTC implementation if you want to know - we are not the only ones who have run into this problem. So please get another phone, preferably a model that we know works.

Some more investigation shows that the A22 and the A32 share the same chipset, which is not present in any of the phones we know that work (chipset Mediatek MT6769V/CU Helio G80). It is still an assumption, but for the moment we do not advise to purchase a phone with that chipset.

Based on that information is this the blacklist of phones NOT to buy:

BLU G91s
Honor Play 5T Pro
Huawei Y9a
Infinix Note 8
Micromax In 1
Realme Narzo 10
Samsung Galaxy A22
Samsung Galaxy A32
Samsung Galaxy F22
Samsung Galaxy M32
vivo Y33s
vivo Y53s 4G

Remember, you can always test a new phone by going to https://mddsreset.io/deviceinfo on that phone or scan the QR code below with that phone.

Scan this QR code with your intended Viewer device to see if it is compatible.

Viewer VR glasses

VR glasses are necessary to hold the Viewer smartphone. They are very simple devices, just a passive plastic 'mask' with a slot to put the smartphone in. They are not true VR goggles like e.g. those from Oculus or HTC Vive - they are meant to be used with a smartphone.
