PE Beta Download: Virtual Desktop feature added (experimental). Please help testing out!

Controllers now controls the mouse perfectly on each screen/monitor (like in SteamVR Desktop view). Including clicking and dragging.

Controlling the Desktop mouse with VR mouse has turned out to be more tricky than expected because of the fact that it loses window focus. We are looking into ways of implementing this in a different way.

Will release a new experimental version tomorrow (friday) instead as we are in the middle of changing some other code and things.

Anyway, good progress today! Stay tuned :slight_smile:

How do I take a VR screenshot. I’ll complete your aspect ratio screenshot collect by adding 32:9

im not actually convinced it will look good in that tiny little box

You will be able to resize the view outside of the UI. There will be multiple ways of viewing the monitors.

We got stuck in a 3-monitor bug that Armin is working on, so the release will wait for tomorrow. Might have a nice version for you tomorrow!

Works great! 2 monitors @ 1080i, 1 @ 4k (3840x2160).

I feel I must be missing something obvious because no one else has mentioned it: the keyboard!
Now that we have desktop access, we need a keyboard to type with! Of course, we can always use one of these Tap Straps, but we probably should have a keyboard.

At this point, SweViver and Armin have had at least 3 hours sleep, so we should see this later today? Heheee!
Awesome work, guys!!!

After playing around for a while, I do have one request. When I click the “Game Manager” button on the bottom, I would like it to take me to my list of games, NOT the “Advanced” tab.
