Virtual Desktop Review

The video game "Virtual Desktop" is a program that allows users to use their entire PC in VR without any fuss. It is an incredibly polished app that take minimal resources to provide a number of functions that feel like they should be a standardised part of the VR experience coming to consumer homes. This is the first program you should buy for your Oculus Rift.
