Reviews

“These are the kinds of programs that change the way people look at technology. In this case, it’s a program that, for some people, might actually make virtual reality a enjoyable, even practical, replacement for their monitor.”
Kotaku

“It's an incredibly polished app that take minimal resources to provide a number of functions that feel like they should be a standardised part of the VR experience coming to consumer homes.”
Destructoid

“This is the first program you should buy for your Oculus Rift”
Polygon

Update 1.0.1 is now live!

This update adds Steam Workshop integration along with many improvements and bug fixes:

Steam Workshop integration (Steam will need to run for new environments to be downloaded)
Increased process priority to help with framerates and audio glitches when running games
Executables are now signed which should solve the issues with Anti-Virus software
Added a Force OpenVR option for Rift users (using OpenVR doesn't bring much value at the moment)
Vive controllers will now appear at the right position when the Floating option is checked
The 360 video Open Dialog will now restore the last directory

Now Available!

Virtual Desktop is now available to Play! The first time you launch it, you will be prompted with a key. This key lets you redeem the app on Oculus Home (if you have a Rift) through Settings -> Account -> Redeem Code.

If you encounter any issues, please let me know in the discussions section.

The Workshop integration is partially there: you can create and submit your own environments, users will be able to download them in a future update.

Enjoy!

Great program, although I wish it let us use the Vive motion controllers as mouse and keyboard input.

Virtual Desktop is not great for working with traditional Windows workflows (low resolution compared to desktop monitors) but it shines in viewing Netflix in the 3D theatre model and for testing out video content in the 3D video capability.

Pretty good, does what it says it does. The resolution of the Vive is not quite up to where it needs to be in order to fully replace a monitor but this program provides a simple method to view VR movies/pictures and has a fantastic home theater setting to watch films in. Although, being in the "Home Theater" scene makes reading text on the screen nearly impossible.

Using this on Oculus CV1.

Looks great, awesome tool. Voice support was unexpected, but very cool. Hopefully it adds more commands in time.

Biggest complaint is that 3D SBS videos need to be pushed in or out and fov experimented with (when played back with VLC). The built in 360/180 video player doesn't work well with a lot of high resolution (4k) content actually. I'm not sure if 4k is the actual cause of the issue (might be codec/fps etc), but it seems to be the issue. This is why I'm using fullscreen in VLC as a workaround. The direct to headset feature of the SBS looks like it could be the best option for this, but never lines up correctly for me. It definitely needs some sort of horizontal eye spacing adjustment or something because its close but not quite there.

My Wishlist:
*SBS 3D direct to headset - pupilary distance adjustment options
*Built in 360/180 video player - support more content (4k,60fps seems to be the issue mainly)
*Game support so any game can be rendered in stereoscopic 3D
*Hopefully in the future it can allow virtual monitors so we can have more virtual monitors than real monitors.
