Normal Display on Monitor

Hello guys, it's possible to make my monitor or TV display the oculus image without distortion ?
I'm running direct mode, but on my monitor the image is like the below

I'm Unity Developper.

    By default, no. The mirror will just show what's on the headset (i.e. SBS and distorted).

    To show a normal screen on the monitor would require a 3rd render pass, and may be difficult with targeting secondary screens in Unity. Probably the best way to do this now is to use a second PC networked, and just match a spectator camera to what the other computer is seeing. This will perform better, and leave you room to record a video if you want to as well.

    Thanks for the answer, I liked your idea.

    Talking about development, my idea is to send infos from camera axis x, y, z (from unity) to a txt.
    And do a second version of the scene without rift to catch this axis from txt on a networked computer.

    If someone have a better idea them mine I will be regardful to listen your idea too.

    Thanks again =)

    You wouldn't be sending a txt file, it would be a network packet (probably over UDP).
