VR Desktop for Mac - Experience macOS in virtual reality

@oskargroth I hope you don't mind I posted this, it looks awesome! I saw on the website you'll be supporting the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift soon. Is that simply dependent on the manufacturers to support macOS? Also, at what framerate does the headset run with a MacBook Pro doing average desktop work? Thanks and good luck!

@oskargroth This looks awesome! I can touch type so I think I'd be productive even without seeing my input devices. I'm worried about eye fatigue though, have you experienced any issues of the kind?

@oskargroth @fredericrenken I've been wanting this since Oculus came out - Saw it the other day on 9to5mac.com - But the site is low on system requirements (other then a Mac). Will it work with an Intel Iris video card (2015 / 16 Macbook Pro 13 inch) or do you need the Discrete chipset?

@oskargroth @fredericrenken This looks really cool. Is it mainly targeted at entertainment? How about productivity apps (day to day apps) - does it work well for those too?

@edholloway @fredericrenken It's mainly targeted at productivity! The functionality to add virtual screens is really useful for multitasking. When VR headsets gets closer to retina resolutions, there will be no need to buy expensive triple monitor setups for coding/designing/writing/surfing/daytrading etc.

@kunalslab I hate to be negative, but - no it's not. Oculus was years in development and had numerous delays after the initial kickstarter campaign; it's still an incredibly young market and it's future is no where near set in stone. No one knows why Apple stopped making monitors except Apple. Speculation would say, why not let a monitor making company make your monitors; but it surely is not because Apple is pursuing VR. Even if Apple announced a VR product this year; it's not like laptops would stop coming with monitors anytime soon, it's simply another way of interaction right now; and a very immature one at that.

@mario_a_giambanco pretty sure he was kidding

@tuxracer precisely. Where's the sarcasm emoji when you need it?! 😏

@nassaraf @fredericrenken @oskargroth I would not lead with this to sell the concept of VR desktop. I'm getting nauseous just looking at the gif.

@kur1 #VRdesktop gifs don't have much selection, and was probably created with older technology that might make you nauseous. I would still hope that you could see the genius behind what was built here. @oskargroth @fredericrenken

@androidlove do you think even for just web development though? I don't need super high res / frame rate to write code - just need to see the windows and not get nauseous haha I'm just looking for more screen space then the 13 has

@androidlove This app can hit 75FPS on latest gen integrated MBP GPU's :) But discrete graphics card is recommended!

@oskargroth @androidlove I found and ordered a DK2 on ebay this morning anyway while waiting for someone to respond - really excited to try this out

@oskargroth this is an awesome product, could change the work dramatically. Thank you!

@antilatency yes!! But I would venture for a different device like the hololens or Vive

@nassaraf Hololense may be, but small FOV stopping me. Vive setup need PC, need TPCast and hard to install and calibrate tracking system

@theleovogel Keyboard is not that much of an issue if you're a touch-typer. And VR headset resolutions are rapidly improving - Wouldn't be surprised to see 4k headsets pop up this year! This is definitely a concept that will evolve together with VR technology.
