THIS IS VR NOW!? - Virtual Desktop Environments

[@YourLifeVR]

I just wanted to clarify for everyone. I'm not doing ANY post processing on any of these vids. This is straight from the Quest 3 capture, and it actually looks this good. 👌 I only had to crop my gaussian splatter vids a little due to screen tearing.

[@daryladhityahenry]

Which one is gaussian splatter?

[@YoDaddyObama]

How do you stand up in the environment? I can't figure that out..

Glad you enjoyed the modern apartment space! Spent quite a lot of time creating it, and I had to get access to a rooftop during COVID in Chicago to record that high-res video skybox. Really cool to see you soaking in the chill night-time vibes... exactly why I created it!

[@YourLifeVR]

@@treytech wow! It's an honor to meet you. Thank you for this. Do you know if there will be more created in the future?

[@Lickey11]

Wish there were more environments like the modern apartment. Been playing remnant 2 for hours in there and the resolution on the virtual monitor is great

I can see myself watching movies wearing this in the theater setting for sure, I can't wait to get my Quest 3S next month

[@YourLifeVR]

You're gonna love it. Enjoy!

[@2pacgamer]

i got my Quest 3 last wkend and Bro the Movie mode just through the Browser on netflix, crunchyroll or even youtube is insane, it's the best thing i bought this year for sure, hell worth it

[@ComdrStew]

That big Skyscraper with the two antennas is The Willis tower in Chicago. I think I found the actual apartment on Google Maps. Chestnut Tower Apartments on the corner of W Chestnut ST and N La Salle Dr. At 5:46 the brown building to the left of the crane with the building and two towers on top is the Culbertson Hall Moody Bible Institute. The Willis Tower is to the south of that location. The road you see heading to the Willis Tower is N La Salle Dr. If you lookup those apartments the have a layout of it and it is the Jr. One Bedroom apartment, lol. Best program on the Q3. You can also have your hands or real keyboard passthrough. You can also use VD to play Steam 2D and VR games. I like the Home Theater the best.

[@YourLifeVR]

You sir, are the goat. 👊

[@midnightrocker7]

I always thought it was a apartment in Manhattan, NYC

[@krazysh01]

The 360 is taken from the roof, you can actually stick your head through the wall and see the deck

[@klartreumer]

i am watching this vid in vr with the same virtual desktop setup and the chicago skyline enviroment doesnt do justice on a 2d yt vid. its incredible realistic looking at the houses and cars even its just a 20sec loop. if you move the cursor under the screen you can change seats and add a monitor so you have floating screens in every enviroment ;)

[@YourLifeVR]

I just learned about switching seats from another comment, truly awesome! I'm watching TV from the couch now. Hehe

[@YourLifeVR]

@@klartreumer Yes super satisfying to watch the loop. And watching videos about vr in vr is so meta. Awesome dude!! 😁👌

[@2pacgamer]

Thx for the video, it was damn cool to watch and with the music behind. I'm going to take this app and try this !!

[@bonnielofton3733]

At 82, I did not get into VR until 3 years ago. I was downloading DeskTop and have a frame of one of the environments “stuck” on my VR and cannot get my controllers to work. Anyway to get out of a frozen frame? 7:33 7:35 7:39

Haha! Thanks for that. I felt so at peace finally having a space like this to work in. It was definitely genuine!

[@choppaa4204]

During the pandemic I watched alot of 1970s and 80s movies in a theater setting. I was born in 1991 so it was literally impossible to experience this without VR. I recommend The good the bad the ugly Trilogy, Star Wars original Trilogy, taxi driver, and Alien(s) series. The movies glow of the walls and adds to the experience. Highly recommend trying it out if you haven't

[@YourLifeVR]

One of my favorite things to do as well! Nothing compares. I think I'll go re-watch A New Hope.

[@MarkMayhew]

I wonder how the Dolemite/Rudy Ray Moore movies from the 70s would look, and the Bruce Lee movies! Yes I’m old!

[@ValenceFlux]

This is one of the apps I liked using when I was too sick to get out of bed. I wasn't able to VR at all for a while but it was helpful escape when I did.

[@YourLifeVR]

This is one of the BEST uses of VR. My father was bedridden near the end of his life, and we didn't quite have this yet.

[@GoMarkz]

The Wind City environment is mind blowing , my dream is that environment with 1 hour loop video, i can stay on that window forever watching the city pulsing.

[@YourLifeVR]

I completely understand how you feel! I share this sentiment. I let out a real sigh of joy once I stood in front of that window.

[@Jammineyeonline]

I hope the developers add different cities. My top ones are dubai. Miami, newyork, Ill also love to see a beach resort. If i knew how, ill do it my self!

[@YourLifeVR]

I agree! Especially considering how well this team has done it. I would love New York or Hawaii.

[@ramansingh-sj6uc]

4:18 I'm crying bro how good this is.......!

[@YourLifeVR]

My mind was blown. Truly.

[@JohnConservative]

How did you record this? what settings. looks really good

[@YourLifeVR]

Thank you! I just long press the home button and trigger to create clips in the headset. There are recording quality settings in the system/Camera tab. Just pump it all up to max.

[@gingerfication3375]

Steam link and OVI is pretty sweet as well.

[@YourLifeVR]

[@zells]

Is it possble to use more than one screen when you are inside this environments?

[@Ashereye]

hi can you do this on quest 3s?

[@YourLifeVR]

You sure can! Just need a decent enough pc to access of course.

[@spediegunz]

I tried to find modern apartment in the workshop of virtual desktop for steam on pc and its not there is it only a quest exclusive?

[@MounirMohamad]

Are the apartment/city environments blurry like a skybox blurry or is it like normal you know

[@YourLifeVR]

They're quite clear actually. You can even spot a guy riding a bicycle in the streets below.

[@FloMasterLMP]

Looks like Chicago, we can see the Sears towers on the left.

[@YourLifeVR]

Wow, thank you! Well then... I guess I love the windy city. 👏

[@LeonidKotelnikov-jg9fi]

[@BrianMoon-u9t]

Well, it’s a good thing the apartment doesn’t have a bathroom. Sooner or later somebody is bound to tie one on and forget they’re in VR.

[@YourLifeVR]

LOL! Would be good if you're in your bathroom irl though I suppose. Just with a nicer virtual surrounding.

[@YourLifeVR]

I believe so. There are numerous reddit posts about how.

[@donkeymagick]

How are you moving around the environment - can you use the stick or physically walking yourself?

[@tolisgunn]

The headset is six degrees of freedom, that means that he can walk in his physical space and virtual space without needing to use the stick. In this video he physically walks

[@YourLifeVR]

@@tolisgunn That's right. Thank you friend!

[@smokez3122]

How do you get it centered like that? Whenever I load an environment it’s like off centered

[@smokez3122]

Like how are you moving through the environment

[@smokez3122]

Sometimes I spawn outside of the room of the environment it’s very weird. Like I can see the room and chair where I should be

[@chris7O4587]

So many questions, please can anyone answer? Does this scan your own room to let you walk around? Could I use my real couch and move the VR one there to let me literally sit in the VR app? Can I alter the decor on the walls?

[@YourLifeVR]

Hi there, thanks for the questions! At the moment it is only preset environments provided by the app. Maybe in the future we'll be able to customize it. You can reorient in your room so that the furniture lines up with your real world. I do this with my computer chair and couch.

[@HaleXF11]

Bigscreen does this too, but you can invite up to 15 others into the room with you. :)

[@YourLifeVR]

Did you see the updated rooms! Users are uploading more. 😁

[@mitcharbiter3371]

Yes, great for social but not for gaming though.

[@Blessed372]

Can you view your keyboard while typing?

[@YourLifeVR]

Unfortunately no. But there are some applications out there where you can. You can even work in mixed reality with keyboard overlay. I'll look em up soon.

[@ArmandQ.]

Nice video, a few questions though: 1. Nice background music, what is it ? 2. In the modern day apartment, how do you switch from the monitor to the big TV ? I`ve seen people playing games that way. 3. Is your stream nice and fluid ? I have a Pico 4 and even with a very stable Wi-Fi connection or with a reverse tethered USB connection , 2D content is somewhat jerky when played through VD. Nice relaxing video overall 👍

[@YourLifeVR]

@@ArmandQ. 👋 1. Sleepy + Hungry by Baegel. It should be credited under the vid. 2. "Aim your pointer below the computer screen to bring up the menu. Click on the icon that looks like a big comfy chair to cycle through different seated positions. This works in multiple environments." 3. Yes! Extremely fluid. I'm using the Quest 3 on wifi and mirroring my custom pc. Nothing fancy. RTX2070. My entire pc build is also on this channel. And thank you very much for commenting! Made my day. ✌️

[@ArmandQ.]

@@YourLifeVR Thanks for the heads up man 🙏

[@YourLifeVR]

@@ArmandQ. Anytime fellow VR traveler!

[@Boss-gk1ym]

I don't have a good experience with VD unfortunately. But that's more to do with my laptop specs (or lack thereof). I have a laptop with 8GB memory, that's just not enough to smoothly run VD if I use more than 1 screen. Memory almost constantly 94+%. And I only have a browser open with couple of tabs and extensions, Spotify and the VD agent... It does run smooth-ish with only 1 screen, but after a while it gets more sluggish. I do love the app, but my 8GB laptop isn't going to do the job.

[@can0fbread770]

I have a laptop with 8bg memory and a gtx 1050. It is very underpowered but VD runs perfectly fine for me.

[@NIcholasLoveTv]

Did you use the switch seats button?

[@YourLifeVR]

I learned how from the comments here after the video went up. Game changer!

Does it connect to Macs yet?

[@YourLifeVR]

I'm not sure about this. Sorry. =/

[@mfpwabc]

@@YourLifeVR It doesn't (there is no mac version of the desktop streamer client which runs on the PC to allow screensharing). However 'Immersed' is an app which does a very similar thing (and which actually allows the creation of extra virtual displays). That works with mac and PC.

[@ifherbowasntg548]

Are you able to play steam games directly off of virtual desktop? Awesome and extremely laid back vid btw!

[@YourLifeVR]

@@SMmania123 I suppose I could turn on hand tracking. Haven't tried it in desktop yet. I have a video up where I did passthrough on vr chat though. There's also of course all the world's with screens where you can at least watch KZbin links.

Hey, so I got Quest 3 and Virtual Desktop, but when I launch GTA V, the fps is really low. It's actually bad... Can someone please suggest me the correct settings? I haven't connected ethernet cable to my laptop, will that help maybe? Thanks in advance.

[@YourLifeVR]

The performance has a lot to do with your pc build. But you can tweak graphical settings in virtual desktop. Check out the display option for low medium and high settings.

[@hayet4502]

This video it's from 2 years ago?

There are some graphical settings in Virtual Desktop itself. I'm running at medium as I'm using an RTX 2070. Not sure if it truly affects these environments as opposed to running programs through it, but...hey, maybe it does and that's it?

[@comebackcs]

Bro that is sick! Will it work for Meta Quest 3?

[@tylergerhart4806]

yes its in the meta store it like $25 bucks i think. worth every penny. plus you can launch steam games from it and play steam vr wireless.

[@YourLifeVR]

Yes! This is actually installed on my Quest 3 headset. I open it, and it connects to my PC.

[@The_Light_Pharaoh]

I Love the idea but for long term use it's hard because it hard to use the quest for long term use without things getting sweaty.

@@The_Light_Pharaoh There's a faceplate that uses a little fan on at the top. That should solve your heat issue. =)

Nope, this is Meta Quest app on the Meta Store. The Steam version doesn't work as well as this on Quest

Straight through the Quest 3 headset. No tether required. :)

can you use a cable and then play games on it liek fortnite without any stutter?

WMR does that. Why would you need a separate app?

[@YourLifeVR]

Hi there! That's a great question. Virtual desktop was not specifically designed for this. These are just a few added environments that you can sit in while you navigate their program tools. It also has passthrough, just in case you don't want a room at all. I've since completely replaced quest link, with virtual desktop to run my pc applications. Extremely better performance. 👍
