New Update for The VR Dashboard "V" is out!
Big News, the latest and greatest build of V yet has just been released! With Full Touch Support, an all new UI design, more configurable web app shortcuts, more VR game compatibility, more video watching (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon!), more performance, more browser resolution! More More MORE! (And Less Tailspin of death when flying and you bring up V ) Literally this build has been a conglomeration of the past few months of hard work to bring you an amazing V experience in many of the Oculus VR powered games and apps. We hope that you like it as much as we have in making it, and please report back any and all issues and suggestions as we are nowhere near done yet. Your version of V should update to the latest version (0.5.0.3 or newer) automatically upon starting up, but if it hasn't after relaunching, or you do not have V yet, you can grab the latest version right at HelloV.io
Be sure to come join us on Discord for live support, questions, comments, and to just discuss all things V and VR, and also be sure to check out our new Forum as well for How-To's, Bug Reports, and Feature Request.
Also one thing for the new UI, pressing Y on the Gamepad or Touch Controller re-centers the V UI to your head position. So if it is a little too low/close when it first injects ingame, just lean forward a bit and hit Y to move it a bit more forward so you don't have to look so far down to activate V. Also you can look left/right to move it out of the way if you don't like it being directly in front of you. I personally always have to recenter Oculus position and V's position upon starting Elite but once everything is dialed in, Elite continues to be a joy to play in VR!

Previous Release said: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, Discord, Inara.cz, Plex.tv, and Spotify from directly inside your VR game.
You can download V from our website: hellov.io -- Once installed, open up a game via Oculus Home (sorry Vive support coming soon) and you should see the V logo when the game launches.
After that, FIRMLY tap your headset twice and look up. (or you can use the Left Shift key)
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 for some reason V doesn't inject automatically into Elite.
Launch Elite
Launch V
Right Click on the V taskbar icon and click "show GUI"
Select "EliteDangerous64" from the dropdown and press "inject"
V should appear in Elite after a few seconds and work as normal.
- Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW) launched right before us and… well.. 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.
Hope you all Enjoy!
