Without it, the app would be useful for watching videos on the Go without a separate file transfer, but with a bluetooth keyboard you can do real work too.īut Virtual Desktop isn’t just limited to your own WiFi network - the app works over the Internet too. This feature alone elevates the app from a novelty to a true utility. I was able to pair a cheap bluetooth keyboard from Amazon to the headset and it passed through to the PC.
Luckily, Virtual Desktop also supports bluetooth keyboards. However, typing by using the Windows on screen keyboard is not a good experience at all - it feels slow and frustrating for anything more than a few words. This is intuitive and works well - VR controllers are perfectly suited to this. The Go’s rotational controller moves the mouse cursor by acting as a laser pointer. Want to read over your documents in the living room? Want to play your Steam games in bed? With Virtual Desktop on Oculus Go, I did all these things. Because the app streams your PC’s view over a network, there’s no hard limit to where you can use it.

With the mobile Virtual Desktop, you can do something you never could with the original – use your PC from anywhere.
#HTC VIVE VR DESKTOP WINDOWS 10#
As long as you have Windows 10 (or 8.1) and a decent router, you too can use your PC in VR. No longer do you need an expensive headset to access your PC in VR. The good news? Virtual Desktop is now available for Oculus Go and Gear VR. With the launch of the consumer Oculus Rift and HTC Vive in 2016, the app fully launched on the Oculus Store and Steam for both headsets. The first demo version of Virtual Desktop was released back in early 2014 for the Oculus DK1 built by a single developer, Guy Godin. What if monitors could one day be replaced with virtual screens of any size, shape, or viewing distance? What if your office setup could be floating in space?įor years now, PC VR users have been able to do just that. One of the main promises of virtual reality has been to replace or enhance the physical workspaces of today. Your laptop is an entry level gaming laptop - there's only so much you can do with that hardware.UPDATE Nov 29th: the app is now released on the Oculus Store for $9.99 You never provided specs in your main post - it looks like your laptop isn't even compatible with the official Omen eGPU (Omen accelerator). With the announcement of the GTX2060, you can do a reasonably powerful desktop build that likely clocks in under $1000 and will run VR far better then any sort of eGPU setup you'd achieve. Realistically your money is best spent buying hardware that nativity supports VR. If you put in another GTX1050 in an eGPU enclosure, you'd get much lower pref than what's in your stock laptop (which is underspec to begin with). If you use an eGPU is will replace your dGPU, not act as some sort of SLI bridge - SLI is a very specific rendering pipeline that's built into motherboards at the hardware level and almost no VR titles support SLI in software. As we've replied in your other thread - that's not really how eGPU's work (especially with VR which have completely different rendering pipelines than 2D games) and whatever eGPU enclosure you use, you'll loose a portion of it's performance when connected via an eGPU and that percentage will depend on the summation all of the unique elements of your setup.
