@plfiorini So when will work on this be started ?
@SuicSoft it's not something i will take a look before 1.0 for sure because there is higher priority stuff to finish first.
@plfiorini Greenisland needs a secure network accessible interface which allows us to download an image of a Window so the app can display them in the 3D VR app.Also we need remote mouse support (movable by tilting head). Basically this is remote desktop (in a VR way)
I will be able to develop the app using OpenGL during testing which can easily be ported to Cardboard VR.
And how about the desktop shell ? How can we render that ?
So I can work on the app if you can add a secure interface for downloading the image of each windows and the mouse control.Also I need to compile it on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop (I asked #215)
And does Greenisland have a logo I can use for the app
Hi, I have a similar interest and would suggest taking a look at another project:
This is a cardboard app that renders a VNC session (remote desktop). One useful feature is that it has a different viewing mode that renders the screen as curved and with a magnifying glass. Using VNC addresses allot of the immediate complexities (network, i/o transmission, ...) but it limits the session to a 2D box. A more ambitious approach would be to render individual windows directly in the VR scene.
We should have an app which can be installed on a phone which shows the desktop shell using Google Cardboard VR.I don't know if any average low-spec PC can do it but it would be cool if possible and put Linux ahead of Windows ;)
This might help : https://github.com/evil0sheep/motorcar
Also I think that we will still have to use the PC keyboard / mouse since unless you can do something like Microsoft HoloLens which uses the phone camera (which will probably take years).
