Daily OVR Reviews

This seems to have real potential but I cannot get it working on 2 different machines (Vive Pro, i7, 64GB). I've shaken the controllers every which way 3 times. I had a menu come up once but still unable to create a window. Developer needs to create some usable tutorials/documentation. The current discussion threads are not useful. Beware: If you close this app in the background, it will likely not close which will tick your minutes/hours away so no refund.

Wow~ it's a convenient tool, I can play Beat Saber and create an overlay binding twitch chat room. Therefore, I won't miss any reaction from my audiences. Additionally, DailyVR inspired ideas to use VR creatively, maybe I can share ideas under this comment.

This is great. Has an issue with auto launch. when on, the laser(cursor) doesn't work, rendering the app useless. Un-tick it. And only one application at a time ? I think a few more would be appreciated if possible. I'd like to add task manager, a productivity app, and others...

Amazing piece of software! I just had a blast watching Netflix, voice chatting through Discord and even playing Xbox games. Just simply launch DailyVR and bind your custom apps, you can do anything as normal on your desktop. Great app and worth every penny, it make my Vive limitless! 10/10.

YES! This is exactly what I needed. Only issue that I ran into is that the software does not boot properly when I have the auto launch setting enabled. Aside from that, its great. Edit: forgot to mention that I mainly use this for keeping up with my discord chats while in game.

OVERALL GOOD, but dated in 2023. Not my first recommendation. If you just want a very barebones 'put a screen on the back of my wrist' and that's all you use it for, its fine. It occasionally (1/5 times) hangs when I try to quit SteamVR and I have to go in and kill some stuff, but it's due to the like 5 other background programs I use. Once I close them in the system tray this closes. For streamers and such you may want to weigh XSOverlay and OVR Toolkit

Resulted in SteamVR crashing multiple times, and had one fatal crash requiring full system reboot.

Note: The software has apparently undergone changes that address some of the below issues. However, I've refunded it in May 2019 and can not confirm the improvements myself. Please see the comments and Developer's response to this review. Original review: It kinda works if you're willing to do the setup every single time you enter VR. Sadly, if anything related to you window changes (e.g. it's moved to the background), DailyVR renders the foreground window's contents in its place instead. If this happens, you need to set up the original window again. This is tedious. Apart from that, the button stuck to your left pad lags a bit behind your movements. It's not a deal breaker, but it's clearly visible. I like how all of the interface is collapsed once you press that button, though. This is a nice feature that minimizes the impact on gameplay, and you're still able to see windows bound to the underside of your pads, without the app's interface obscuring your view. Anyway, the core feature I bought it for - viewing Twitch chat in VR - only works if you do everything right and don't touch your PC afterwards. Any change and it requires re-setup. I'll stick to looking at desktop via SteamVR's built-in viewer.

I have tried several Overlay programs in an attempt to use a browser in VR but nothing has come close to what i needed... until this. Finally a simple and smart system of accessing a chrome window (with all my saved page links), netflix/youtube window and many more. Best of all the screen adjustment and placement is simplistic, allowing page size adjustment and transparency alteration at the touch of the controller button. I use this in all vive games, but most importantly in ELITE DANGEROUS VR in which i can access trade routes and commodity resources while remaining in game. Only one suggestion, when using the mouse on a browser, it means the HOTAS isn't working until you put the curser back on the ED window... a minor hassle, but something i can do blind.

Returned it thinking it wasn't working, but couldn't resist trying to get it working via the demo. When I finally figured it out, it worked stupendously and I immediately repurchased. I can watch Netflix or Youtube while playing Elite Dangerous, which was hitherto impossible. Can't wait to see where they take this!
