Due to popular demand since a few versions there is a ‘Generic 3D Display’ device that you can select in the config app to play SBS on your monitor.

Caveat: this is not officially supported. vorpX is meant for VR, you are basically on your own using it for SBS monitor gaming.

Ok, i need to correct something, SBS only works with DirectX 11 Games,
i forgot that i tested the Direct X9 Game: The Darkness 2 via Tridef 3D and i thought it was the 3DFixmanager.. my fault..

But yeah for Quantum Break and Metal Gear Solid, it works when you set
3D display type to: 3D Vision Discover for VR
and preferred 3D format to: Side by Side

Im looking further for a SBS Trick for DX9 Games.
But i would recommend for some unsupported DX9 Games, that Tridef3D is a good solution at the moment, of course in Cinema Mode only, or with an FOV Fix and in Full VR Mode to get an “almost Full VR Mode with Headtracking without positional Tracking”.

For me, Vorpx is already the best Software for VR and you dont need much more.
I use Nvidia 3D Vision just for Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain.
For Quantum Break, Tridef 3D with an generic Profile does a very great Job and looks like Geometry 3D.
And of course, with TriDef 3D you can get the most games (DX9 also) work in SBS.

It would be so great if it would be possible to convert the NVidia 3D Vision Metal Gear Profile to Vorpx.

OpenGL will come to the Generic 3D Display mode with the next regular vorpX update 20.2.0. Stereo 3D is still limited to fairly old ‘fixed function’ OpenGL though. Maybe someday I’ll tackle newer, shader based OpenGL too. It’s at a point now where starting with that might make sense, but don’t hold your breath. Time has to be spent wisely, and there is always something that seems more important.

I have been using the Generic 3D Display setting on a 4k Samsung TV and I am really happy with the results. I also have Tridef and I have compared it to Vorpx and I would say Vorpx is the option I am going to use going forward. I hope Ralf can officially support the Generic 3D Display and get Vulkan and OpenGL working.

[Ralf]

There is a ‘Generic 3D Display’ device since vorpX 20.1.0 that outputs a side by side image to ease your life in that regard. The next build will address a few remaining issues, most importantly OpenGL not working yet. Be aware though that the ‘Generic 3D Display’ mode is not officially supported. vorpX is built for VR, consider SBS an unsupported freebie.

There should still be an Oculus option. If it is missing for some reason, try a reinstall.

Ya.. i lost my download link so gonna have to request a new one. But ya, it just has SteamVR, Generic VR Headset, and Generic 3D Display as my options in the drop down box, no Oculus. Ill send a ticket for a new download, thanks ralf!

[Ralf]

Sounds as if you accidentally selected ‘Generic VR Headset’ or ‘Generic 3D Display’ in the config app, which would both render the image side-by-side on your monitor. Selecting ‘SteamVR’ (or ‘Oculus’ for Oculus headsets) as your headset on the ‘General’ page of the config app should help.

[Ralf]

There should be default bindings active normally. Might be worth a shot to reset the profile to default in the config app.

You can solve your settings issue the other way around: simply switch to ‘Generic Headset’ or ‘Generic 3D Display’ in the config app temporarily. That way you can make the required changes on your PC without access to the headset.

vorpX 20.1.1 has been released.

This is a medium sized maintenance release, mainly aimed at improving/updating existing profiles and addressing a few issues that have been reported recently. On top of that Immersive Screen and Cinema play styles can now be configured for comfortable reclined gaming and a couple of smaller improvements have been implemented. The release also comes with three new game profiles.

As a new service some short descriptions of the games that got profiles added. Let me know if you consider that useful or unnecessary fluff.

Journey

This is an enhanced version of the PS3/4 masterpiece from 2013 that finally was released for PC a few months ago. Find your way through a barren desert in search for a mysterious mountain on the horizon. A unique game with a whopping Metacritic score of 92 for its original release that you will find in many top lists of the best games ever created. More captivating than ever in 3D with vorpX’s Immersive Screen Mode.

A Hat in Time

Feeling grumpy today? This is for you then. A cute 3D-platformer that will put a smile on your face immediately. Who needs Mario when you can have A Hat in Time? Defaults to Immersive Screen Mode, but if you have the stomach, you might also want to try FullVR, vorpX takes care of adjusting the FOV etc.

Little Nightmares

A Steam surprise hit from roughly a year ago. Guide a little girl in a yellow raincoat through her little nightmares in this 2.5D platformer. If you haven’t tried that already, you will be surprised how much fun games like this can be on a huge (virtual) 3D screen. A must for everyone who likes games like Limbo or Inside even a little bit.

Glad you like it. There are a few quirks left with the Generic 3D Display mode that I’ll iron out for the next release, namely the camera height modifier not working as intended and HUD-depth doing nothing although available for a profile.

Happy New Year!

…and what do you think about my request? :)

Happy New Year!

Just tested Generic 3D Display. Absolutely amazing. Thank you Ralf.

Happy New Year to all as well.

I have been using this unique piece of software for about a week now, and am getting more and more appreciative of its features. I searched in the forums and found a few references to a “virtual keyboard” interface within vorpX but I could not find a response. So apologizing to begin with if this is a well known subject…

[If some of what I am requesting is already available, please let me know how to access these features!]

I got vorpX in the hopes it would allow me to play the classic IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 series, as well as the multitude of mods available these days. When I got it to work using a Cloud Profile, it literally brought tears to my eyes (you know… allergies). I like how the Oculus Rift S controls are able to display in the game interface, including the cockpit, but as it is a Flight Sim, even in easier settings, there are a multitude of controls, and since the game did not inherently include controls in the virtual cockpit (like mouse click), you can’t do much except use blind/braille to feel the keyboard or HOTAS joystick, or mouse.

So there are three (3) distinct capabilities I would like the developers to consider which I think would add to the value of this already great piece of software:

1) A basic VR keyboard (priority 1) with custom labeling (priority 2):
— vorpX already has a lounge, and controller display options, so it seems like adding a keyboard would be doable feature.
— it may be more resource effective to run the feature within vorpX instead of using an additional program with more bindings to the interface, if even possible
— Oculus application has a keyboard, but you must leave the game temporarily to make it work, and it does not always work as intended
— Probably best way to allow it to work is by either pointing the controllers or using the VR index fingers to click buton
— Would probably need to find a solution for 3-key combinations, like “shift+control+s”
— Would be great if there was a way to label key… maybe with a “tooltip hint.” Say for example instead of “F”, label it “Flaps Up” or maybe have a tooltip when you hover over the key that tells you what it does, depending on user custom input, like “F – Flaps Up; Ctrl+F – Manual Gear Up; Shift+F – Fire Extinguisher” etc… it would be up to the player to label these things, and there should be a way to share these settings with other users.
— possibly having a virtual mouse interface to click buttons, wheel, perhaps some alternative way to move it… sometimes in busy games it is nice to have it all there. At least the buttons and wheel scroll/clicks emulated would be useful.

2) Axis Binding to VR controllers (priority 3):
— In many VR applications, the user is able to grab an object and move it around. Say for example in a virtual cockpit which has not virtual controls, as long as you can see the joystick you could move the VR controller or hand (depending on vorpX setting) to where it would be in the cockpit, although not necessary…
— The basic concept is that if I am right handed, when I squeeze the middle finger in the controller, it would automatically bind to the X-Y-Z axis, basically creating a virtual joystick… I pull control back (closer to me), trees get smaller (go up); I push control foward (away from me), trees get bigger (go down). I move it to the left, I roll to left; I move it to the right, I roll to right; I twist it counterclockwise (parallel with floor), I yawn to left, and vice versa.
— In the same thought, my left hand binding would be to the throttle… hand moves forward speed goes up, etc.
— Once you let go of the middle finger squeeze, it is analogous to hands-off, which the games will handle themselves.
— There would be a need to adapt it to left-handed players, although in the real-world you would be out of luck because no one is going to build a left-handed fighter aircraft for you
— Maybe there are other things as well, like twisting perpendicular to ground would be like rolling, or squeezing perhaps using a driving wheel

3) Ability to build a VR cockpit by placing “hot zones” in the cockpit or interface:
— This again would be user defined, and not expected from vorpX team. You would build the feature.
— Let’s go back to a non-functioning 3D cockpit or interface/world. There are areas that remain the same, like the imaginary position of a button (here the user would have to use the VR Desktop to use the proper zoom level (user could customize it by guestimating)
— Say instead of using the VR Keyboard I spoke about above and pressing “Ctrl+C” to open the canopy/cockpit, I would click a hot-zone (which could have a level of transparency, or maybe glow then hovering finger/or tolltip) which is placed in an area of the cockpit.
— Although this sounds painful, hardcore flight simmers go through extensive pain to create these environments
— There would be a need to be able to customize multiple cockpit profiles in a single game, perhaps through a VR popup menu in which the user would select from, say “Generic, Bf-109, Mustang, etc” depending on what is available. These configs should also be shareable.

Yep, I know this is a complex ask… but a VR keyboard overlay (with mouse buttons, and wheel), and a way to bind axis to controller movement would be a great start.

Thank you for considering my enormously complex (if not thoroughly unreasonable) suggestion.

I’m a new user, migrating to VorpX from older 3D/VR drivers, both of which have gone out of business. I’m looking forward to gaming with this new 3D driver; the older solutions really slow down modern games.

I’ve got VorpX installed as “Generic VR, desktop”, resolution, FOV; no problem with basic settings. However I need to get rid of the “goggles” overlay, turn off the circular distortion, and remove the VorpX watermark. I’m guessing that there are shaders that can be disabled/adjusted to do this (like in ReShade).

Here’s what I need: (screenshot from Oblivion running on older 3D software)

Display Device: 3840x1080x60 (Nvidia, appears as a single display device), Mode: Side-by-side.

I’d appreciate your advice! Thanks, Mark
