How to control remotely the video played on a VR headset?

Question

I'd like to develop an android app that will control the video played on a VR headset.

The app should run on a tablet, i.e external to the headset, and should be able to start and pause the video played on the VR headset.

What is the best solution for doing that ?

Is there any VR headset that would enable playing videos coming from an external source such as a USB connected tablet ?

Also you can use a simple bluetooth controller to send the commands on the phone

Thanks but the cardboard requires embedding a phone. The solution I am looking for is to be able to play a video from a tablet outside the headset. – matdev Oct 28 '16 at 09:21
