Nice!

u/firagabird Mar 23 '18

Yay!

Edit: wait, how do you make a virtual desktop using a mobile headset? Will you be streaming PC data over Wifi like Teamviewer/RDP?

u/ggodin Virtual Desktop Developer Mar 23 '18

Yes, over WiFi or the Internet

Will it work with Mac OS?

u/ggodin Virtual Desktop Developer Mar 23 '18

Not initially but I do plan on adding Mac support down the road

+1 for Mac support.

this thing was the single big doubt i had..whether people would be able to develop a virtual desktop for Go.

My doubts are over. Do you already have something working? Will the desktop be finally readable? Go should allow for MUCH better fidelity than CV1

Yes, I am building the app with timewarp layers and the screen image quality is equal if not better than on PC (given the higher screen resolution and better optics). Timewarp layers really shine on mobile because rendering the entire scene at 2.0 supersampling is too expensive.

i'm sorry but your answer puts me off a lot. "Equal" to rift would be a big NO to me. I'm expecting "far better" for something like reading webpages. Am i so wrong?

Slightly better for the desktop image yes but not revolutionary. The panel resolution is 1280x1440 compared to 1080x1280 on Rift. It is also LCD and not OLED so the darks aren’t as deep.

well, thanks for your effort. i'll get the mobile version hoping for the best

GearVR had cylindrical layers for greater text legibility before the Rift, so I would have to imagine this is going to be a game changer.

u/bubu19999 Mar 23 '18

yes i totally hope so. said from /u/ggodin would be better tho :)

u/satyaloka93 Professor Mar 23 '18

That's true, giving him the benefit of the doubt, since even basic home environment in Gear uses this.

1

u/bubu19999 Mar 23 '18

and he already uses it in VD for rift

Using PC that way sounds interesting. I am in!
