But Virtual Desktop got here first, at least for PC users who own the HTC Vive ($199.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) or Oculus Rift. And Sony will offer a similar feature for non-VR PlayStation 4 content with PlayStation VR. Valve is planning to tackle the idea in a much more gaming-specific way in SteamVR's upcoming Desktop Theater Mode. This may be an obvious concept, but using the app really shows that possible uses of VR headsets extend far beyond gaming-though you can use it to play non-VR games, as I'll explain. The idea behind Virtual Desktop is simple: Take your PC's desktop and project it as a virtual display through your VR headset. It's a fantastic way to use your VR headset, even if you don't have any VR-specific software for it. I can do this thanks to Virtual Desktop ($14.99), an app by Guy Godin. I have an Oculus Rift ($309.44 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) strapped to my head, and I'm staring at a giant text editor on a curved screen floating in front of my face. I'm typing this review in virtual reality.
