VR Music player?

[DarkStar79]

Are there any music player that works in VR for DCS? I mean like a music player you can bring up when you are inside of DCS when you want? So you dont need to remove the VR headset to be able to change music?

A keyboard with multimedia buttons is all that you need.

Voice control.

Maybe it depends on VR headset, but with Rift, I just hit the menu button on the little remote control (Arrow turning back) then if not already working I hit Virtual Desktop on Rift's menu.

 

I just pause the game before using virtual desktop, and when I did load the music f.e. I hit the menu button again and I'm back to game.

I found a little program on Steam called OVR Drop that will let you set an overlay, which can repeat certain windows or a specific monitor and be mapped to a certain (virtual) part the hand controllers so the virtual "top" of the controller has the overlay and the "bottom" makes it invisible. You can also just plain let them be screens "hovering" at a fixed point, though they're always on top of everything else. It's a huge pain in the butt to set up, but once you do it's nice.

 

It's not much use in DCS for stuff like reading manuals, but for watching videos (but not HDCP protected, so no Netflix or Hulu) and consuming with other media like that. I'd imagine if YouTube works you could watch DCS guides while following along in-game.

 

I once spent an evening playing Elite: Dangerous with the TV series Firefly playing like a drop-down screen in an SUV.
