About this gameFull description from Steam
What is this? Desktop Portal is an advanced Addon for SteamVR, with a suite of tools that make doing previously difficult things in VR easy! READ BEFORE BUYING: - Desktop Portal requires Windows 10 for full functionality. - Oculus headsets are supported, but only for games that can be run in OpenVR mode. Please be wary of this. Features Spawn in windows from your desktop, and put them anywhere you want in your playspace. Anchor, resize, curve, and opaci... fy? your overlays! A sleek and intuitive UI designed from the ground up for VR. Easily control music and check your FPS from the watch! Play a game that requires input focus to work properly? Desktop Portal has an option for that! Input blocking! Never again do you have to be annoyed by constantly messing up stuff in your game when trying to interact with overlays! (requires advanced setting in SteamVR) Desktop Portal Library, a sleek and feature packed replacement for the SteamVR Library. SteamVR Input 2.0! Hate my default bindings? Check the community bindings for something you like, or make your own!
