Is there a way to use the TV remote as a game controller for VR apps?

[iMore Question]

I bought VR glasses and realized i should have also bought a game controller, as the phone's surface is not available in the glasses. Is there a way to use the new Apple TV remote as such a device, instead of buying a bluetooth game controller?

The 4th Generation TV's remote doubles as a game controller.

Yeah but how can it be paired with the iPhone? it is to control the iPhone. Not the Apple TV

To my knowledge, the TV remote cannot be paired with an iPhone
