Desktop Duplication API throwing exception on Direct HMD
When using Desktop Duplication API http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh404487(v=vs.85).aspx DxgiOutput1->DuplicateOutput //throwing exception when in Direct HMD Mode ...
I got a related question to this and I hope you can lead me into the right direction.
I'm working on Oculus support for a car simulator at our institute as part of my bachelor thesis. The car simulator software and the display window can be fully controlled by a tcl script language. I have successfuly written a plugin that allows me to control the display window via a c++ console application. I chose this approach because I want to leave the simulator software untouched.
Now my idea was to have the Oculus sensor data processed to my needs and then send the screen adjustment command to the simulator. To get the desired view back to the oculus I wanted to put the simulator scene in full screen mode and mirror the screen to the Oculus.
Because I see you already have experience with the screen mirroring approach, would you see using the Desktop Duplication API provided by Microsoft as a viable solution?
