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!
