VorpX has a virtual cinema built-in, which is nice because it means you’ll have the ability to play many games in a full VR mode or a more comfortable mode on a virtual screen, all in one package. VorpX 3D Cinema Mode (Included with VorpX) In such a mode you’ll see your game as if it was played on a big screen TV, which can actually be quite immersive depending upon how big you make the screen. This is great for playing non-VR games that aren’t comfortable or simply aren’t suited for a full VR mode (like games played from a top-down or side-scroller perspective). Instead of wrapping the view completely around you as if you were standing inside the game, another option is to play traditional games on a virtual cinema screen. It’s possible to have a great experience in many games this way, especially if you spend some time tweaking VorpX’s variety of options (there’s plenty of guides out there to help you get the settings just right for specific games), but be weary of the fact that games not made to be played in VR can be less than comfortable when played in a VR headset.

For many users, this sort of movement can lead to nausea, though sensitivity varies greatly from person to person and game to game. Some games don’t support positional tracking which means only head rotations will be tracked.Īlthough this can be an amazing way to play many of your favorite non-VR games in VR, the truth is that-depending upon the game-it won’t be as good as playing a made-for-VR game, for two major reasons.įirst, games not specially made for VR will feature traditional movement like running with the keyboard and turning with the mouse.

VorpX is a made-for-VR ‘3D injector’ which adapts non-VR games into a VR compatible view. Games that are specifically developed for VR are always going to look and play the best in a VR headset, but let’s face it, most of us probably have huge libraries of traditional games, and you may be wondering “Can I play regular games on the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive?”-the answer is yes (with a few caveats), and here’s two ways you can do it. ![]()
