Early Access Software

Get involved with this software as it develops.

Note: This Early Access software is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to use this software in its current state, then you should wait to see if it progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“FlatVR is an advanced utility that builds upon complex AI-driven 3D depth heuristics, graphics hook methods (ReShade integrations), and telemetry protocols (OpenTrack, UDP). Early Access allows us to gather critical feedback from players running diverse PC hardware configurations and various VR headsets, helping us refine compatibility, performance, and features to deliver the best possible stereoscopic experience.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep FlatVR in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. This timeframe will give us enough opportunity to expand the AI model, refine compatibility with new DirectX versions, and integrate feedback directly from the community.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to be more robust, stable, and widely compatible. We plan to:

Optimize the real-time AI depth reconstruction model for faster inference and cleaner 3D images.
Expand compatibility with a wider list of DirectX 11/12 and Vulkan games.
Add more presets for virtual monitors, custom curved screens, and ambient lighting.

Improve the user interface, setup wizards, and automation for ReShade addons.
(Note: These represent our current targets, and we plan to progress towards them iteratively based on development feasibility and community needs).”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version of FlatVR is fully functional and feature-rich. It currently includes:

Real-time AI 3D Depth estimation (Pseudo-3D) and high-performance WGC screen capture.
Support for native stereoscopic depth extraction using our custom ReShade Add-on (FlatVR_DepthProvider).
Customizable virtual screen geometries (curvature, distance, scale, vertical shift, tilt).
Dynamic Ambilight ambient lighting to blend the screen into the VR space.
Head tracking mapping (emulating mouse input and OpenTrack UDP telemetry).
Virtual monitor emulation to run games at custom ratios/resolutions.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to moderately increase the price of the software as we exit Early Access and introduce significant new features, visual improvements, and broader game compatibility. Buying during Early Access supports our developers early and grants access to the software at a lower price point.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We want the community to play a central role in FlatVR's development. We plan to actively monitor our Steam Discussion boards, collect user bug reports, and host discussions regarding game presets and feature requests. User feedback on performance, AI depth accuracy, and VR headset compatibility will directly drive our development priorities.”

About This Software

FlatVR transforms your standard, non-VR PC games library into immersive virtual reality experiences. Projects your favorite flat games onto a fully customizable virtual screen inside your VR headset, and introduces stunning stereoscopic 3D depth to games that never had it.

Whether you're playing modern RPGs, first-person shooters, or retro classic titles, FlatVR lets you experience them on a theater-sized screen with physical depth and responsive head tracking.

Key Features:

  • Real-time Stereoscopic 3D (3D Depth Modes):

    • AI 3D Depth (Pseudo-3D): High-speed AI heuristics analyze the 2D video feed in real-time, instantly estimating depth layouts and generating a stereoscopic 3D effect.

    • ReShade Native Depth: Fully integrated with ReShade. Use our custom FlatVR Depth Provider add-on to extract the game's actual 3D depth buffer directly from the engine, giving you pixel-perfect, native-grade 3D parallax without any guess work.

    • AI 3D Smoothing & Ray-Based Gap Filling: Our proprietary smart post-processing algorithm smooths out stereoscopic image edges and uses ray-cast projection heuristics to automatically fill in visual gaps (occlusions) caused by 3D perspective shifts, delivering a clean, seamless, artifact-free 3D picture.

    • Side-by-Side (SBS) & Top-Bottom (TAB): Project native stereoscopic output feeds directly into your headset lenses.

  • Virtual Screen Customization:

    • Take control of your virtual environment. Adjust screen distance, scale, vertical height, curvature (for maximum wrap-around immersion), and tilt.

    • Immersive Ambilight (Ambient Glow): Softens the border of the screen, dynamically casting matching colored light into the dark VR space surrounding your virtual monitor to reduce eye strain and blend your game seamlessly with the virtual room.

  • Head Tracking Integration:

    • Map your headset's physical rotation to mouse movements or emulate the industry-standard OpenTrack (UDP) protocol. Control the game camera naturally simply by looking around—making it perfect for car, racing, and flight simulators (such as Assetto Corsa, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Dirt Rally, and more).

  • Virtual Monitor Emulation:

    • Create a virtual primary display inside Windows to play at resolutions beyond your physical monitor's capabilities (e.g. 4K, 21:9 Ultrawide, or 32:9 Super-Ultrawide) for an incredibly wide field of view.

  • Zero-Latency Capture:

    • Leverages the high-performance Windows Graphics Capture (WGC) API to stream your game screen with zero noticeable input lag or performance overhead.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

We use a local real-time deep learning neural network (AI) to perform depth estimation on the video frame. The AI analyzes the 2D image and generates a corresponding depth map in real-time, which is then used to reconstruct the 3D VR environment. The AI only processes the visual depth data and does not generate any text, audio, new art assets, or user-facing media content.
