Description: Virtual Desktop is an application developed for the Oculus Rift / Rift S, HTC Vive, Valve Index and Windows Mixed Reality headsets that lets you use your computer in VR. You can browse the web, watch movies, Netflix or even play games on a giant virtual screen.
Review: The problem I have with this software is that there is so much better out there. While it isn’t exactly the same thing as Bigscreen Beta, that program shows what is possible with the VR desktop environment, but this is sadly lacking a lot of features that Bigscreen Beta has. Having said that, Virtual Desktop is a smoother experience and navigating around your VR desktop is easy and intuitive. I also have to give Kudos to the developers who are always happy to listen to suggestions and feedback, making it more about what you want to see added/improved on this app rather than themselves. At the end of the day, this is a handy app that can only get better in time.
