Hi everyone i will like to share my experience in my last 3 weeks with the oculus quest. Well has been an amazing time not only for the wonderful vr games... but also for lightgun games using the app virtual desktop to stream the pc in to the quest and also emulate the mouse just amazing. I can't show how really looks but i can say how it feels to my. To begin you can chose the environment you like.. if you want a movie theater or a floating screen on the space you get it. Looking amazing colors contrast, image quality stunning me i can walk around it make it as big or small i want is just incredible. Now let's talk about inputs alright here is where we don't have too many options but even do, i could manage to to play model2 emulator and use the trigger of the oculus controller to shoot and the B button to reload. How it feel to hold a virtual gun.. well is not a virtual gun yet we have instead a virtual controller exactly like the real one and it feels like holding a laser gun aiming with a laser you can hold and aim in any distance or position no problem with that and accuracy and response speed is better than any real solution for Lcd out there. Even try with the ps3 camera tracking a laser and let me say oculus quest it feels completely superior.

Is this the app you are using? https://store.steampowered.com/app/382110/Virtual_Desktop/
What makes this better that the built in virtual desktop in Steam VR?

ryoken:
The app is from oculus store. But because I'm using the oculus quest. If you have a pc vr headset then yes the one from the link you post is the right one

So I tried this out on my Vive using the SteamVR built in desktop as well as using a free virtual desktop app called MultiVR.se. It was a lot more fun than I expected. Using the Vive controllers with the laser pointer mouse control doesn't feel a lot like a gun, except maybe a Star Trek phaser. Maybe the Oculus controllers have the pointer angled down more? And I need to get a better way to get key presses into the game. But overall it's a lot of fun. Nice big bright screen. Plenty responsive and accurate. Shoot off screen reloading works in MAME.

I tried this using my Rift S and Model 2 emulator, and it works well. I used the built in Rift virtual desktop, but haven't tried it with any other virtual desktops.

The Touch controller had the LMB already mapped to A, so shooting was fine. I couldn't remap RMB for reload in the short time I played, so just used a wireless mouse for that. But aiming with the Touch controller was pin-point accurate, and it was great being able to play HoTD on a big virtual screen.

It would be good to be able to hide the rest of the virtual desktop background. Might be easy to do but I couldn't find a way.

I'm sure that the right person could write hacks/wrappers etc. for the main emulators with shooting games to have this as a supported way of playing!
