Virtual Desktop Developer Aims to Bring App to Steam Frame
Developer Guy Godin, creator of Virtual Desktop — an app that pioneered streaming Windows monitors into VR headsets in 2016 — has announced his intention to port the application to Valve's new Steam Frame headset. Despite not receiving a device from Valve for testing, he is working on making it compatible with the hardware. Currently, Godin can already stream Virtual Desktop Classic to the Steam Frame but notes that the experience involves stitched monitors and awkward controls. He envisions an improved standalone version of the app featuring passthrough functionality as being more effective in practice. The move could impact VR headset users who prefer Virtual Desktop over native solutions like those from Meta or Valve, potentially increasing competition within the immersive computing space.
