Hey guys,
We just launched a public beta for our new in-game dashboard called V! (Yes, just the letter)
With V you can launch apps like Twitch, YouTube, and Spotify from directly inside your VR game. That means no more lonely VR trips around known space without the ability to browse the web, tune your music, chat with friends, or watch a move without removing your VR Headset!
You can download V from our website: hellov.io -- Once installed, open up a game via Oculus Home (sorry Vive support coming later) and you should see the V logo when the game launches.
After that, FIRMLY tap your headset twice (or you can use the Left Shift key) and look up and to the left.
Once activated, you can browse the web as well as move (Left/Right Trigger + Left Stick), scale (Left/Right Trigger + Right Stick), and pin (Left/Right Bumper) any window for VR multitasking!
A few disclaimers--
- V is still very much in beta and we are doing some fairly complicated things to pull this off...so if something goes wrong please reach out here or on our beta discord channel and we will do our best to assist and get it figured out.
- Elite Dangerous works great launched from Oculus Home, The Elite Launcher, or Steam (Though not using SteamVR), however you may need to inject manually once the game has started from the V Dashboard. Also Input blocking is still being worked on, so don't be flying near a station or jumping to a Star while actively Using V. (Once a window is pinned, everything is fine)
If you use Steam, or V just doesn't happen to inject into Elite for you automatically,
Launch Elite
Launch V
Right Click on V icon in the taskbar and pick "show GUI"
Select EliteDangerous64 from the dropdown and press "inject"
- Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW) launched right before us and… while amazing for both V and Elite.. It broke our tapping gesture. If ASW kicks in, use the shift key. (Or you can disabled it: Ctrl + Number Pad 1)
- Streaming sites like Netflix/Hulu are in the works. Plex.tv works though you have to have the Flash Player for Opera and Chromium installed
- Sadly, Minecraft VR is also still a work in progress.
- Windows 7 and 8.x are currently not Supported. We are working to get Windows 8 Support shortly and 7 a little later.
Enjoy!
