Just create a classlibrary project and reference FreePIE.Contracts, copy the output to the plugins folder of FreePIE gui

edit: Yeah, Vuzix is a given Core plugin

Oh jeez. Don't these marketers even read these threads before they post?

Hi, I'm a total noob in here, but Rift looks too sexy not try it out.

One of the ideas I thought about was the virtual desktop as well, so this thread is a great read. The difference is I plan to do it on linux and I hope to use the compiz plugin interface with hillcrest as a input device to control it.

I don't have the hardware, so probably I'll start by mocking libfreespace and use some caught mouse events to control it for now.

My current worry is the resolution of the panels. I actually wanted to use this setup to work and reading the recent postings on this forum, I'm not sure it is viable option at all. Do you think Rift will be good enough?

I honestly doubt the Rift will be useful for work, for a few reasons.

1) The resolution is not that high at 640x800 per eye. This is also a strange aspect ratio.

2) The optics will warp the image, and make text look strange along the edges especially.

So I think it will be mostly for playing games, but maybe it could work.

@fanhaf: I agree with Cyber. The Rift prototype is not going to be the proper display for virtual desktops because of the low resolution. And it wouldn't even work with the way I am doing it here because the taskbar would be out of your field of view. You need a complete virtual desktop where all elements could be within the field of view.

You should check out this thread instead. These guys are on the right track and it's a Linux solution also.
