Virtual Desktop is an application developed by Oculus Rift that improves the experience when using the virtual reality headset on Windows, whether you're browsing the Internet, watching movies, or even while you're gaming. The best part? Virtual Desktop is completely free.
The Latest Version Is Here
Finally, the latest version of Virtual Desktop is finally here. This application, developed by Oculus Rift, improves the experience of using the virtual reality headset on Windows, whether you're browsing the web, watching movies, or even playing games like Diablo 3 or Minecraft on a huge curved screen. But let's go into detail about the features that the latest version of Virtual Desktop (known as version 0.9.25) offers. We already mentioned the new interface, much larger and with several zoom options to try out, and a new installer for 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
New Features and Improvements
Voice commands are also present, both in games and when performing other tasks. The mirror-to-monitor option is now a global option and works with games that support windowed or fullscreen mode. You can also view 2D and 3D videos side by side and in 360º. Finally, this version fixes several bugs from the previous edition. When you start Virtual Desktop with Oculus Rift, you can see desktop icons floating as if they were in space. You can also configure the screen to get various interesting effects and even change the field of view.
Compatibility and Free Download
According to its developers, Virtual Desktop is still in beta but works surprisingly well. The application is compatible with Windows 8 or 10. Although Virtual Desktop is also compatible with Windows 7, unfortunately you won't be able to get maximum performance because it doesn't offer the API function that allows screen capture (a function that is available on Windows 8 and 10), causing the computer to consume more CPU resources than usual. Virtual Desktop is a free application that you can download by clicking here.
