Play your non-VR games while in VR! No need for a keyboard, mouse or gamepad! You can use your XR/VR controllers to simulate key presses, mouse movement, or even gamepad joysticks! Create custom bindings for each controller, and play your favorite games from the comfort of VR!
Virtual Handheld uses industry standard input simulation to convert XR/VR controller input into virtual keyboard, mouse, or gamepad input!
This is a SteamVR overlay application, meaning that it can be used to play games on top of other VR apps! Your controls can be blocked from interacting with other VR apps, allowing for inputs to be redirected to games running on your desktop!
By default, you can double tap your controllers together to enable or disable the handheld! You can also edit the Virtual Handheld settings from the SteamVR dashboard.
You can use the handheld's dual-screen functionality to put a different window or monitor on each screen, allowing for multitasking or dual-screen gaming!
See the "Screens" menu in the Virtual Handheld Settings to choose what sources are being captured, and configure how they are displayed on each screen.
Virtual Handheld can be used to play games that support stereoscopic 3D rendering! Games with stereoscopic 3D allow you to see depth in-game. VH splits the side-by-side image and shows each half to their respective eye, creating a sense of depth originally made for 3D glasses or 3D enabled screens.
Virtual Handheld supports one-handed use, meaning it can be played using only one XR/VR controller! The handheld will automatically be tracked to a single controller if SteamVR is started with only one controller connected.
Actions such as handheld toggle and opening the settings can be configured in the SteamVR Bindings UI.
Presets exist for one-handed controller layouts that use the AltSet "Swap" feature, which allows you to toggle between two different sets of inputs without having to hold down an extra button!
Note: Other XR/VR controller types, such as PlayStation VR2 Sense or Vive Cosmos Controllers, have not been tested by the developer and may or may not be compatible
