Virtual Desktop Becomes Reality for Oculus Go

Virtual Reality headsets promise to give the computer experience a total makeover. Many virtual headsets already come with virtual desktop setups that allow you to browse your computer files from the headset itself, and browse the net on a cool floating browser instead of on your boring old computer. Now this virtual desktop feature has come to the Oculus Go, a standalone headset that doesn’t require any other devices to work. In the case of virtual desktop you will need a working PC computer attached to WIFI.

However, you won’t be tethered by any cables to the machine. You can use it over the same wifi network for in-office use or in-home use. Use your headset in bed when you want things to get steamy or use it on your favorite spot on the couch for extra comfort. But you can also turn it into a truly remote tool as long as your PC stays awake and connected to the network. Use it from wherever you are in the world!

You can also connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the network for ultimate usability. That turns it from a browsing device to a productivity tool. You can then actually respond to e-mails, type up reports or do anything you would do on a normal machine. Otherwise, without a keyboard there is an internal on-screen keyboard that is useful for short inquiries like web searches.

The virtual desktop is designed to impress with low latency and high definition. One of the most popular uses of this feature is to watch movies while laying down. You can be in your most comfortable position and not have to wrench your neck to see the TV screen in front of you. Watch this video to learn all about it!
