WebScreenVR is still in Developer Version which means that installing and using it requires some advanced knowledge and it may contains bugs.

It only works with Oculus Rift for the moment

The goal ofWebScreenVR is to enhance your workspace while in Virtual Reality, allowing you to cast your screen and different applications around you in a 3D environment.

• On Chrome:

Sharing the screen onChrome require anextension to allow screen casting. Go on Extensions and enable the developer mode then click on "Load unpacked extension" and select the "WebScreen-Extension" folder.

• On Firefox:

Firefox natively allow screensharing but doesn't allow more than one stream (*two thanks to a little trick visible incore.js *).

TheChrome extension require the usage ofHTTPS even on localhost in order to allow access to thedesktopCapture API, therefore setting up a local secured environment is necesary. One pre-made solution is delivered in this git usingNodeJS andExpress but if you want to use yours, feel free.

Just open a terminal in the folder and typenpm install && node webserver.js which will install express and run the local web server onHTTP andHTTPS using the already existing SSL certificates.

Additionnally theChrome extension does not takelocalhost or127.0.0.1 as an authorized hostname so we will to create our own. Open yourhost.conf file and add127.0.0.1 webscreenvr.dev.

When you have finally set up the whole development environment, you can just access WebScreenVR by going onhttps://webscreenvr.dev (do not forget to start the web server)!

Once you have shared the initial screen and you are inside the VR view with your controllers visible here are the commands:

• Grip: Toggle "construction mode"
• A:
  • Add screen (in "construction mode)
  • Target an existing screen and stay pressed on A to move it
• X:
  • Enhance size of the selected screen
  • Go to next environment sphere
• Y:
  • Reduce size of the selected screen
  • Go to previous environment sphere
• Thumbstick: Teleport yourself
• Left trigger:
  • Show environments sphere on first press
  • Change environment on second press

Whatever you feel adding would be great. Additionnally feel free to help on the "what is really next" features as well.
