Childhood dream will soon be achieved. Taking the VHS tapes that you've watched as a kid convert them to MP4 files put them on your network and now you can just put on the Oculus go going to visual desktop going to movie theater settings and now you can just watch that classic piece of Cinema history especially Disney Cinema history in a virtual movie theater.
My only isues is wires look at these smartphon device's Sony has a calibrated Sony Xperia 4k HDR and with Shadow pc streaming service you can stream to your phone and use your phone as a monitor endless possibilities I love it no need to be tethered to wires I think the future is still on pc to 22k but if phones start becoming suitable for VR call it VR resolution lol oh yea have crisp quality picture without needing a big screen aswel just need to get these phone's so we can't see pixels at 2 inches from your eyes and it will be rettina so yea lol Ile be trying VR with my phone lol probably much better aswel due to the fact that your eyes never leave the screen lol
Awesome video Mike, I'd already bought virtual desktop when it was early access on steam and I'm sure I emailed the developer and he gave me a key for the Oculus version, wonder if they'd do the same for Oculus go! EDIT, actually now I think about it, a lot of work would of gone into making the go version and being able to stream your pc so I suppose it's only fair I should throw my money at it 😁
Good video. I'm trying to subtitle your videos to Latin Spanish. I'm living in Argentina and i want the people who speak spanish can enjoy your videos so much. So.. let's dive in
You look so happy just from posting a tweet :D. i like your english. its very understandable for noobs! id like to add that the Bigscreen can run max FullHD and if you own different VR platforms, then you should buy the Virtual Desktop on steam (its also cheaper there and Steam's return policy is more benevolent i think). But maybe for the best performance, via the Oculus app it's the best trade (?)
That 1st came out in the oculus DK days and I do consider that 1 of the top apps that are a must have. Its alwise updated and runs very good. Happy to see it making it to the oculus go and and soon to be Quest.
Thank you for your recommendation. I went and forked out the $9.99. Wow, it is something. I use if for gaming and productivity. Lets me see the screen with less stress on my neck (I have a large monitor, 30", but I can play with curve and so much more... better spending ten bucks than a thousand for a monitor that will become obsolete in a couple of years). So far, can multitask. I need to figure out more. If Oculus controller is pointing at screen, I lose mouse control, so I just have to point it away for full mouse control. So far, loving it, great streaming.
Hi Mike. Awesome review. Have you tried connecting from another location? One review I saw claimed you had to be on the same network. Being able to control my system remotely is why I'd want to purchase.
It also works with Gear VR, so keep that in mind. Seeing that the dev is around here answering questions and such, is the cinema screen the biggest screen you can put in or can it be a little bigger? Mostly for the games, would be great to play them on a huge huge screen
The screen appears bigger in the headset than on video. The theater environments have fixed screens and they vary in size and distance. You can always pick one of the environments with a floating screen and with those, you can change the size, curve and distance to your preference
Hey there, I love the concept of streaming PC content on a standalone VR headset. It can also be used to stream PCVR (ALVR apparently allows to play PC VR games on the Go). But I wonder: compared to actual PCVR, does it save up performance on the PC? For example, can you compare using Virtual Desktop on the Rift and using it on the Go?
Thanks for the video. I'm mostly interested in productivity. Although the intro into games was nice. I never play games, however but it did intrigue me. Could the big screen be a substitute of have multiple monitors? Was it cumbersome to use in a home office? Can you type on a physical keyboard or is this very difficult and ineffective? I'm looking for ways to be more productive and if i can spend less money on monitors and get a similar experience or greater focus due to a more controlled environment that would be great. Thanks again!
Hi Mike, thanks for the video, the questions as I just saw your video and thinking to get Oculus Go to experience the desktop on VR, try to code, design and browse using the VR headset, my question, as for your the ending of your video, is the VirtualDesktop App allow multi-desktop or monitor to be displayed at the same time.
Good evening Mike great video on virtual desktop. I would use this application for gaming and productivity if the game has no other form than a desktop form and I still want to play and I could still use it for word processing and voice typing. Have a good evening Mike.
Just got my Go. Have to say, bit disappointed with the limited selection of software available. No doubt, payments would get some better stuff, but it's gonna mount up and there is no guarantee what I buy will be worth the cash. Virtual Desktop seems to be ideal frankly. I will probably buy that. Though I'd like to have the screen up close, not surrounded by that simulated environment, which I think is just silly.
Just installed the Virtual Desktop. Brilliant. The environment is customisable. Some settings are available. My sound on the Go is a bit choppy, but hopefully find a way to sort that out.
Hi Mike. Thank you so much for your time in making this video. I have a question can I play games like Doom VR using this method and have full VR experience or is this not possible yet?
Great question but unfortunately not. I asked the dev if this would be an option on Quest and have the ability to emulate full desktop VR games however it’s not possible right now, maybe in the future []-)
you can never have anything near full vr experience with the go because it is only tracking your rotation, not your movement. there may be some games where you sit/stand still but most of the time the missing 6 DOF will ruin it.
That's awesome! Thanks for the review. Is it possible to load 360 files (video or photo) on the oculus Go from PC using this program? Do you need internet connection or it can be only wifi connection through a router?
Hey! I have a question about the audio when it comes to watching movies in a theater setting. So, is the audio standard like when you are watching a regular video through headphones or does it actually have the surround sound feel to them like in a real movie theater?
Mike - I want to play MP4 videos located on my desktop and or laptop computer, will they display on the Oculus Go? Additionally, if MP4 files are stored on a jump drive, can I access them through the Oculus Go headset?
Honestly I'm playing this through the go rise of the tomb raider, on 5 ghz and graphically I prefer my 4K tv. Not bad for movies with the theater rooms though.
Though it looks great, I was hoping to have the PC full screen. Tomb Raider is one of my favourites, but I play it on my 3D TV in of course 3D... if the Go could do that... But other then that it is great. How is the sound?
I'm a total noob when it comes to VR, so please forgive my ignorance: I were to play a 360º game or video on my VR Ready Laptop, would it play in WITHOUT appearing on the actual laptop screen? Would I also be able to use my headphones whilst playing?
OK great videos. Thanks. But a question: I have a 3D Camera and a 360° Kamera. Photos and 360 Videos are on my computer. With virtual desktop I can watch them on the screen. But is there a way to watch it in full size with my Quest 1 Headset ? I mean VR 360 mode ? Right now, I can only copy it onto the Quest to see my Videos. But I would like to start them from within Virtual desktop. Any Idee ?
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but is there a way to turn off the monitor so people around you computer cant see what is going on while your using the Virtual desktop
I've seen a video where someone was watching a bit of 3D film in this app on OR so I have a question. Most (if not all) games support 3D now when you play a standard (non vr) game in this app is the game in 3D or flat 2D like on standard monitor?
I would not use Bigscreen with the Go... Not if you want to keep your Go battery from burning up. The Go temps jump damn high when your using Bigscreen.
Hoping someone can answer this that has the app. Bought virtual desktop for oculus go, and all was great during set up while at my computer, however I typically keep my computer on sleep. Does virtual desktop not work unless your computer is fully on? I'm just thinking of the word "go" here, and if I'm remoting into my desktop I'm obviously not going to be carrrying my desktop around for the purpose to use virtual desktop, or I might as well be on my desktop or laptop lol Am I missing something to make this work as I thought it should?
Great video! So you need the internet to connect to your PC? I am looking for a way to connect to my PC to watch videos on it and play multiplayer games. The connection to the PC should not use the internet....
Can you use the computer in VR and at the same time open like another desktop or make the screen larger so that someone else could use the real computer and it could be like if you had two computers?
How come you didn't mention if there's any compatibility with Steam? I have a bigger game library there. Nice work though. I love what your channel became. Cheers.
QUESTION! As a student, I am thinking of investing in an oculus headset so that I can have my desktop RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES without any distraction from the outside world. Would I be able to connect the oculus to my HP Envy x360? I just want to study without seeing the real world around me if that makes any sense. I know that might seem so extra, but it’s the way I’d like to study. Thank you!
I have a rubbish pc that can just about handle mine craft but I was wondering if I download half decent games on my pc then stream it to my oculus go would it run on the go?
It requires an internet connection to establish a connection to the PC, after that it’s a direct connection to the computer and the internet is not needed
If I don't have a Xbox One S controller but I have a Xbox 360 controller that is plugged into my computer, can I use that to play games or do I have to have the S?
Sounds like this is used for only accessing your PC in an environment by yourself and does not allow you to have a friend join you in your room together so you can stream videos for both of you to watch together? Was hoping I could use this app to watch movies or possibly stream Netflix together with my twin nephews in a different state since I bought them Oculos Gos for Christmas. Will this app possibly work while inside BigScreen? I have gone in there and watched movies with people in there using their Oculus Riffs steaming from there PC and was hoping I could now do the same using this app?
Speech to text will work? I’m a Mac user so don’t know if windows has a similar dictation feature, but I’m wondering if the mic from the oculus go will work.
is there any way to test the app on the oculus go before buying it just to see if it will work? I don't know how reliable my internet will be when using it, so I just want to make sure it actually works before putting down payment.
The PC spec doesn't matter as it's just a streamer from the PC to the Go, so as long as your PC can run the program and the wi-fi connection is sufficient should all be fine
Will you try to play in stereoscopic? It will be great to try Nvidia 3D to play stereoscopic in the OculusGo, but I think NV3D is only Anaglph and it will need Anaglph glasses inside de OculusGo... May be games as Batman Gotham or Gears of Wars, for example will be rendered in side by side an will be recognized as 3Ds on this Virtual Desktop
would it be possible to just get a spare router without an ethernet connection and just only plug your pc in and then connect your go? this way you will have almost no interference from other devices because i have tried using a steam link over our home wifi and that didn't work that well. it will of course not be ideal because you can't really access the internet but for playing offline games and watching movies this would be great.
Hey so another thing I forgot to ask...what about framerate? My PC has a 165hz monitor and runs most games at 100+ frames. Obviously the Go doesn't have a refresh rate that high, so should change any ingame settings to optimize for the go? (i.e. framerate cap, turn Gsync off, turn Vsync on, etc.) Thanks!
I was thinking about using it for productivity. How's the lag? Do you think I could type something in word or excel? I know I wouldn't be able to see a physical keyboard, but I could still type on it without looking. I tried the bigscreen beta streamer before and it was really laggy. I'm not sure how long I would be able to work while wearing the go headset, but I have a dream of a monitor-less workspace. I'll probably have to wait until hololens v2 before I can do that...
I tested both Virtual Desktop and Bigscreen for performance. Virtual Desktop performed much better. You will ideally need a 5Ghz WiFi connection but it worked fine for me with practically no latency on 2.4Ghz []-)
@@VirtualRealityOasis Cool. I have both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I'll test it out on the 29th I guess. Do you know anything about the developers? One of my greatest frustrations with the oculus go so far is the lack of response/care/transparency from the developers when it comes to things like updates/bug fixes/patches..etc.
Michael Carnevale I’m the developer, feel free to ask me anything! There’s a “Contact the developer” box on my website www.vrdesktop.net to reach me directly
@@guyg0d1n Thank you! I actually purchased the app yesterday and I loved it! It run's very well on my oculus go. I was very impressed with the smoothness and simplicity of the UI. I experienced very little lag on my 5ghz router. I really appreciate that you take the time to respond to comments. I'll make sure to leave good feedback on the Oculus store. Thanks.
So I’m curious about what you should do with your graphics settings while playing games. Say my pc’s monitor is 1440p, so obviously my games are configured to run at that resolution. Do I need to adjust anything while playing on the Go?
Zorion Qyrax Mike is correct, you don’t have to do anything special. If you want, you can lower your game’s resolution to match the streaming resolution (1920x1080 by default), this can make the image a little more crisp as there is no resizing but it’s hardly noticeable. If the game runs at a lower resolution (say 1280x720) then the streaming resolution will automatically change to match your game’s resolution
The app will probably scale everything properly, the problem comes with the streaming itself. If you are running something like Tomb Raider at Ultra 1440p then you'll need way more bandwidth and you are probably gonna notice some drops and similar. If you're gonna stream games then drop the resolution at least to 1080p and lower some settings that you don't need(ambient oclusion and such)
Childhood dream will soon be achieved. Taking the VHS tapes that you've watched as a kid convert them to MP4 files put them on your network and now you can just put on the Oculus go going to visual desktop going to movie theater settings and now you can just watch that classic piece of Cinema history especially Disney Cinema history in a virtual movie theater.

Mike, can you put together some information on how you have your audio cables laid out/configured for your headset.
Very nice and detailed video... Is it connected with PC through app? or do we need to plug some wire in PC?

Soo just for clarification, does your PC need to be connected to wlan or will Ethernet work as well?
Works with both, but Ethernet will be better for stability.
Speech to text will work? I’m a Mac user so don’t know if windows has a similar dictation feature, but I’m wondering if the mic from the oculus go will work.
Mac isn’t supported right now but will be coming in the future []-/
Middoel Vazquez The Go microphone isn’t currently sending your voice to the PC but it’s something I’ll add in the future
Virtual Reality Oasis thanks
Virtual Reality Oasis looking forward for the Mac version.
@@VirtualRealityOasis Boooooooo not you....the not Mac part.....ha ha
is there any way to test the app on the oculus go before buying it just to see if it will work? I don't know how reliable my internet will be when using it, so I just want to make sure it actually works before putting down payment.
Do you need a gaming pc what you have?
Is this possible to do while the Quest is connected to the PC directly? To have little to no latency?
How many different headsets can you connect at the same time?
Will this work with a computer that has an older Nvidia card (940MX)?
The PC spec doesn't matter as it's just a streamer from the PC to the Go, so as long as your PC can run the program and the wi-fi connection is sufficient should all be fine
Great Video !!! Congrat and Thank
From anywhere in the world you say? How do I do that? The only way I can connect it is if its on the same network and connected to the same router.
Nice Oculus long sleeve. :)
hey mike .does your pc need to be on if ..let's say am at my wife's house and i want to play a game at hers place??
No your headset has to be on the Amesbury wifi
Will you try to play in stereoscopic? It will be great to try Nvidia 3D to play stereoscopic in the OculusGo, but I think NV3D is only Anaglph and it will need Anaglph glasses inside de OculusGo...
May be games as Batman Gotham or Gears of Wars, for example will be rendered in side by side an will be recognized as 3Ds on this Virtual Desktop
would it be possible to just get a spare router without an ethernet connection and just only plug your pc in and then connect your go? this way you will have almost no interference from other devices because i have tried using a steam link over our home wifi and that didn't work that well. it will of course not be ideal because you can't really access the internet but for playing offline games and watching movies this would be great.
Hey so another thing I forgot to ask...what about framerate? My PC has a 165hz monitor and runs most games at 100+ frames. Obviously the Go doesn't have a refresh rate that high, so should change any ingame settings to optimize for the go? (i.e. framerate cap, turn Gsync off, turn Vsync on, etc.) Thanks!
I was thinking about using it for productivity. How's the lag? Do you think I could type something in word or excel? I know I wouldn't be able to see a physical keyboard, but I could still type on it without looking. I tried the bigscreen beta streamer before and it was really laggy. I'm not sure how long I would be able to work while wearing the go headset, but I have a dream of a monitor-less workspace. I'll probably have to wait until hololens v2 before I can do that...
I tested both Virtual Desktop and Bigscreen for performance. Virtual Desktop performed much better. You will ideally need a 5Ghz WiFi connection but it worked fine for me with practically no latency on 2.4Ghz []-)
@@VirtualRealityOasis Cool. I have both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I'll test it out on the 29th I guess. Do you know anything about the developers? One of my greatest frustrations with the oculus go so far is the lack of response/care/transparency from the developers when it comes to things like updates/bug fixes/patches..etc.
Michael Carnevale I’m the developer, feel free to ask me anything! There’s a “Contact the developer” box on my website www.vrdesktop.net to reach me directly
@@guyg0d1n Thank you! I actually purchased the app yesterday and I loved it! It run's very well on my oculus go. I was very impressed with the smoothness and simplicity of the UI. I experienced very little lag on my 5ghz router. I really appreciate that you take the time to respond to comments. I'll make sure to leave good feedback on the Oculus store. Thanks.
@@guyg0d1n Hey guy can a bluetooth keyboard be used with this?
So I’m curious about what you should do with your graphics settings while playing games. Say my pc’s monitor is 1440p, so obviously my games are configured to run at that resolution. Do I need to adjust anything while playing on the Go?
Virtual Desktop will automatically scale your desktop size to 1080p whilst streaming to Go to get the best performance []-)
Zorion Qyrax Mike is correct, you don’t have to do anything special. If you want, you can lower your game’s resolution to match the streaming resolution (1920x1080 by default), this can make the image a little more crisp as there is no resizing but it’s hardly noticeable. If the game runs at a lower resolution (say 1280x720) then the streaming resolution will automatically change to match your game’s resolution
Virtual Reality Oasis Thank you!
Guy Godin Exactly what I was wondering, thank you!
The app will probably scale everything properly, the problem comes with the streaming itself. If you are running something like Tomb Raider at Ultra 1440p then you'll need way more bandwidth and you are probably gonna notice some drops and similar. If you're gonna stream games then drop the resolution at least to 1080p and lower some settings that you don't need(ambient oclusion and such)
I kinda wanna buy one of these just to play Cyberpunk 2077 in VR on a bus in 2020.
Have you hear about The problem of factory reset On oculus go turn The oculus in a brick?
