We tried out 1.40 today and found it does make pinning windows in VR easier than ever. Pinning means that even when you close Dash the window will remain in VR, meaning you can watch Netflix in Elite Dangerous or monitor the chat while Twitch streaming. Selecting a window brings that window up individually, and it can then be moved and “pinned”. Other features include: Hardware accelerated 360 video. You can browse the web, watch movies, Netflix or even play games on a giant virtual screen. Pressing this button brings up a list of all open windows. Virtual Desktop is an application for the Oculus Rift / Rift S, HTC Vive, Valve Index and Windows Mixed Reality headsets that lets you use your computer in VR. SteamVR can be launched from the iVRy 'Launch' button, or by launching SteamVR or a SteamVR/OpenVR VR title. On startup the app will display 'Waiting for Connection', while it waits for the iVRy Driver for SteamVR to connect.

In previous versions though, this required a rather imprecise gesture of grabbing a window from the monitor view.ĭash 1.40 adds a new button to the menu bar. To start the app on Oculus Go/Quest/Quest 2, use the link in the 'Unknown Sources' section of the 'Apps' menu. Unlike Virtual Desktop however, Dash allows windows to be “pulled out” individually. It also allows users to view their monitors as virtual screens inside VR, functionality also available in apps like Virtual Desktop. It will blend in to any VR app which submits its depth buffer to the Oculus compositor, which is now enabled by default in Unity and Unreal.ĭash allows users to launch apps, start voice call Parties, manage notifications, purchase content on the store, change audio volume, take screenshots, start livestreaming, and configure the Guardian system. It can be brought up at any time by pressing the Oculus button on the right Touch controller. Oculus Dash is the menu system of the Rift software.
