Virtual Desktop

Welcome to the Virtual Desktop feedback portal. The VR community has been very helpful along the development process with ideas and suggestions that helped make it one of the most popular VR application available today. I will continue to improve and add features to Virtual Desktop but I need your help. Tell me what features you'd like to see in future updates!

Linux compatibility

I want to see this support Linux. While others have said it might not be possible because of how many Desktop Environments we have, I see one possibility: Run a second X session (Or wayland/mir), running a 3d desktop environment, the Virtual...

Automatic switching to Theatre mode for playing 'flat' vidoe files, then back to dekstop environment when playback complete.

At the moment, if you want to play a flat video in a 'theatre' environment you need to start the video with your chosen player, then manually switch environments. When playback is complete, you need to manually switch environments back again,...

Can we get an option to play a 3d video without 180 or 360°, Like the 3d Movies from Blueray

The ability to save presets.

I would like to suggest the ability to save custom presets. I've found that different settings are better for different purposes and it would be nice to be able to have one-click access to switch between them.

Would like to remain aware of surrounding objects and people while working on virtual desktop

Mouse pointer controlled by headset and magnification mode.

Keyboard or controller toggle when pressed allows the headset to controls the mouse cursor movement which is located in the center of view. Another keyboard or controller toggle activates a small magnification screen with adjustable...

SteamVR keyboard integration for Vive controllers

For those familiar with SteamVR, you noticed that you can type on a virtual keyboard using the tackpad of your controllers. A similar solution, or just the plain SteamVR solution would be cool to have.

Stream through a USB Cable.

Allow streaming from PC to Quest using a USB-C (link) cable. I prefer using a cable for lower latency and better quality, and I also like using Virtual Desktop because of the nice interface and better performance. It would be incredible if I could...

A handshaking/pairing option for Quest users that does not rely on Meta authentication

This could be an opt-in "lowered security" mode for secure networks, a pairing PIN, or even choosing to NOT auto-refresh the Meta user token and instead have a Settings button to manually refresh. The latter would resolve issues where the headset...

Send a WOL packet from VD on startup to the last PC registered against your username

It would be great if VD could send a WOL packet to the last IP registered against your username by the streamer. This way you could put your home PC to sleep and wake it up from the Quest remotely by opening VD

120hz desktop mode

You enabled it for VR streaming, why not also 2D desktop streaming?

Face and Eye tracking through Virtual Desktop with the Pico 4 Pro/Enterprise if Meta Quest Pro ever gets it

Implement both face and eye tracking passthrough such as how Streaming Assistant sends that data to the pc allowing people to use it on the desktop mostly for VRCFaceTracking and whatnot. This would let people use Virtual Desktop instead of...

Low blue light, ala F.lux. For using at night and being easier on the eyes.

A low blue light mode to make it easier on the eyes. Similar to F.lux. Running F.lux on your desktop doesn't affect VD. It would be nice for people using it at night. It's less disruptive to sleep cycles. I myself have gotten pretty used to...

Configurable cylinder projection for games with large FOV

Games with large FOV get very "squished" towards the screen edges, i. e. a circle near the edge of the FOV will be drawn as a wide ellipse. Projecting such a distorted image onto a 3D cylinder gets rid of the distortion and should feel very...

Choose which monitor to display

I am using a headless ghost as a secondary monitor with my Rift. Because the ghost has higher resolution settings than my physical display, I would like to select it as the ~only~ display visible within VR Desktop. I do not wish to disable my...

Usable Virtual Desktop Window in Stereo Mode

Right now if you go into SxS mode or SxS anamorphic mode it becomes impossible to use the Virtual desktop window (for instance to exit SxS mode). It would be great if the Virtual Desktop Window would automatically clone itself into a left/right...

Chromakey feature to substitute certain colors with passthrough

Radius parameter for 3D 180/360 videos (like Whirligig)

I already stated this before, but to remind you, this setting is crucial for avoiding giant sized videos.

h.265/HEVC decoding

Video quality is going up and some providers and encoding in h.265/HEVC. Have to revert to whirligig over VD for these videos.

Make injected games appear in the game list so they don't have to be injected every time

As the title says. Perhaps a tick box to enable this option when you inject the game?

PIP pass thru cam that snaps to a corner of wherever you're looking.

The PIP pass thru camera would ideally have a low resolution to scaled with the size of the image as well as a low refresh rate to save battery and processing power. It should move with the viewer docked to one of the corners of the screen as to...

Allow the screen to be positioned independently of the environment.

Right now, if your screen is in "Floating" mode the entire environment is tied to the orientation of the screen. Meaning if you place a screen above you (I.E. you are laying down in a bed), the entire environment will end up tilted. This can be...

Activate the camera when looking down so I can see my keyboard

Many people at least like a quick glance at the keyboard now and then. If only just to get my fingers in the correct spot to start typing. I typed this in VR but finding my way around the keyboard at first was hard.

Partial Passthrough

Microphone picks up your voice and echoes it according to current environment
