Dashboards/Graphics Interface
Hello Everyone ^^
I want to write this thread only to explain my opinion about Dashboard for oculus Rift.
I just tried VirtualReality.io and is absolutely AMAZING!
I want to do a little feedback to team of Oculus Rift.
Now Oculus dev kit hasn't a very graphic interface to interact with demo or games,but i hope that with the consumer product it will have one like or similar or maybe precisaly like VirtualReality.io. Maybe is already obvious but i want to say anyway.
With all games of the future with all options and setting inside the game and with demos/games managment inside a graphic interface,oculus rift will be able to do a complete immersive device without break the magic between a game to another.
Personally i was very impressed by Hawken after only 15 seconds because the initial scenes of the game with Nvidia pubblicity was very amazing.
This would be also a suggestion for people that haven't tried Virtualreality.io yet. Try it,is very awsome :)
Thanks for listen to me :P

- VR Launchpad app for this.
Let's hope in the near future there will be VR Compiz for Linux. As for Windows, well, chances are very little if any, I guess. - As raidho36 said, VR LaunchPad gives you a native VR interface to browse and launch your existing VR demos and applications.
I have a lot of respect for what virtualreality.io has done, but VR LaunchPad takes a different approach. Where vr.io allows people to find new apps from a curated VR "app store", VR LaunchPad allows you to browse and launch the apps you already have installed.
It's very early in this project, but I have ambitious goals.

Oh.. i haven't tried yet,I'm downloading now :)
Edit: Ok i've tried a little bit. Is VERY useful that you can add all apps you have and play all them inside Launchpad without exit or leave oculus rift.
I've some feedback:
-In my opinion (i know that this is only a beta version),Launchpad can be too beatiful with a attractive interface,honestly i prefer virtualreality.io's interface.
-When you choose a game is VERY fast before it start,COOL :)
-If it's possible when you choose "headtracking" to choose a game,can be nice if you "save" this option when you start a game. It's not a very big deal but maybe is more comfortable.
That'all,this app is VERY useful,and is different from virtualreality.io,so if we can have an app like xbox 360's dashboard where you can Download games/demos like in virtualreality.io and play to our apps on our computer will be very cool and complete.
Thanks for posting :)
