There's an app called VR desktop for the Rift. You can set up a virtual cinema screen for any game so it's like playing WoW on a 500" screen. Not true VR but still pretty cool.

After I got my 980ti yesterday I finally got around to trying the Crytek dinosaur demo thing. Pretty cool.
 
VorpX is a bit hit or miss because it's doing all sorts of stuff in the background. I find that the headtracking always lags like crazy with all the VorpX supported games which ruins the experience.

That Virtual Desktop is one of the coolest things I have used. Any film/program runs on the biggest screen ever and you are sitting in the middle of space watching. Sure you lose some quality but it works very well and games are the same but I do find there is some lag. It works with 2D/3D/180/360 films and there is loads of 360 films on youtube that you just paste the url into and off you go.
 
Downloaded the 0.5.0.1 Runtime for DK2, I think that was the one. What did you do to get it working on ED, step by step if you have time thanks. Before I had no DK2/Oculus settting in 3D options, just (something)graph and side by side. The menu appeared on the rift, but no headtracking and had to stretch my eyes to see what I was clicking..

You have to set the OR to extended mode in the little "O" in your system tray and then select the secondary display on the ED menu, choose 1920x1080 75Hz and off you go. If it is upside down, on your monitor settings, choose flipped (that happened to me).

For the record, 0.8 works fine now as well but you need to have Steam VR installed (not running) and setup the first run for standing and just follow the instructions. That does give me a bit of stutter now and then though and the best experience is still on 0.5 but might be different for you.
