09:25 Outro.
With maximum performance already tuned in, you can still push further with Quest game optimizer and PICO performance tuner tools, running PC games native in headset much like the steam frame VR headset from Valve.
maybe even one day these rapid advancements in emulation can enable PC Virtual Reality titles without a PC!
WinlatorXR offers the ability to play Windows PC games with a huge selection of traditional input devices such as gamepads from Xbox and Playstation, flight sticks, steering wheels, arcade controllers and more- retaining full Mouse and Keyboard support and FULL VR motion controller support- 3dof head aim mouse mode in immersive view, 3dof controller mouse mode, Light gun mode, RESHADE 3D support and FULL 6DOF VR for new WinlatorXR API games, with 6DOF headtracking for TrackIR supported games via opentrackWXR
Playing PC games from GOG, Steam, EPIC and Amazon is now super simple with the built in store managers, or you can continue with your own DRM free games- placed in "Download" folder of your hmd storage, or from external USB storage.
WinlatorXR continues to take WinlatorCMOD into the future.
Developers can implement the new WinlatorXR API and bring the amazing PCVR mod experiences to standalone VR- at last! No PC required, no need to port to android!
