nomai-vr VS DesktopPlus

PS: I would add Outer Wilds, it's not a native VR game, but thanks to Raicuparta's mod, it feels as if it is. It's one of the most incredible game I have ever played, EVER.

Outer Wilds + VR mod This is probably my favorite experience I've ever had in VR, though it is just a VR port. No killing, no bad guys, just you and a custom-build solar system to explore and discover the secrets of. You yourself can die, so don't expect a cake-walk, but do expect a really great story and really great puzzles.

Outer Wilds Mods

You should get a headset and play it in VR https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/nomaivr/

You mentioned world building, immersion, and Mario Galaxy 2, and I just couldn't help but wonder if you've played Outer Wilds in VR (mod here).

few overlay apps on steam allow for this. i like desktopplus >> https://github.com/elvissteinjr/DesktopPlus

I still think you remember the wrong name here, https://github.com/elvissteinjr/DesktopPlus only does Desktop mirroring, while https://www.vrdesktop.net/ does what you said.

Desktop+

btw. if you don't mind reading, the User Guide adds a few sentences for each setting and has some step-by-step guides at the end. Most of those guides have a lot of steps... yeah, that's something that also gets ironed out in the new UI.

More details about the additions can be found in the Steam announcement. The new release can be found on Steam as well as on the GitHub page, in the releases section.

Just one thing I'd like to add: you absolutely can have overlays and even complete desktops in VR. Like everything else it's a hassle to set up, but once it works it works. I use Desktop+ for SteamVR (https://github.com/elvissteinjr/DesktopPlus/tree/master) which is free and open source, although there are several alternatives including CrewChief's very own VR overlays.

https://github.com/elvissteinjr/DesktopPlus looks like a good starting point for an app that doesn't use SteamVR. SteamVR was first so it has a lot of buy in. I think with OpenXR replacing WMR that all VR devices ought to work now without SteamVR as long as the OpenXR implementation provided by WMR services them, which it ought to.

Launching Desktop+ manually from its executable does not invoke Steam at all. If you need auto-launch alongside SteamVR but without Steam, use the standalone build available on GitHub and uninstall the Steam version.

If you're totally lost, there's also a simple step-by-step guide, however.
