The headline could not be clearer with what we are seeing. Thanks to the Oculus application, VR Desktop, we can experiment with Virtual Reality on macOS. The advancement of virtual reality is evident in the market full of all kinds of accessories to experiment with, but to date we had nothing similar to this just released by developer Cindori, an application that allows us to enjoy a desktop in VR as long as we have the Oculus Rift.
At the moment it is the only option we have if we want to see our desktop with this real face, have the application and Oculus glasses, but there is already talk of making the application compatible with the rest of glasses similar to these, such as the from HTC, the HTC Vive.
In this sense, we can say that virtual reality continues to take steps to position itself in a market sector that today seems to be a bit stagnant. During the 2016 Mobile World Congress, companies tightened in this sector to launch their own glasses and achieve this real effect, but it is true that only the Facebook-owned Oculus, the HTC Vive and finally the PlayStation gaming glasses managed to keep the type.
Now we are reminded of those words that came from Oculus (before being bought by Zuckerberg) in which they said that the Mac hardware was not powerful enough for this segment and for the VR glasses themselves. However, with this VR Desktop application, any Mac without being powerful can experiment with it. Of course, OS X El Capitan 10.11 or higher is required and the Oculus Development Kit 2 is required.
With this the user can get hold of the application that is priced at $ 19,99 not without first using the trial version available on the official website and have the first experiences on a Mac with virtual reality.
