Is that possible to run Oculus latest SDK on VM windows

Hi Guys,

My mac is the top rank macbook pro but unfortunately Oculus stops supporting Mac.....

Besides windows laptop and windows PC, may I use Parallel Desktop windows (VM) on Mac to run latest Oculus on top of it? I suppose it won't work....

Anyone ever tried it?

    Hardly doubt it, since you need native nVidia/AMD driver support not present in the VM. You could try Bootcamp...

    I had tried a variety of VM solutions before giving up and buying a new PC just for HMD development. They all had the same basic problem - the virtual display device isn't a real one, and the tricks needed to get a HMD working need a real graphics card. I say "HMD" since I was trying out Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard, I could get neither running on a VM.
