- Dashboard is a discontinued application for Apple Inc. 's macOS operating systems, used as a secondary desktop for hosting mini-applications known as widgets. These are intended to be simple applications that do not take time to launch.
- If you are on a Mac you can go to your library, next to the search bar in the top left corner it should say something such as “All Games” or “Installed games”. If you click on that there should be an option saying “Mac Games” followed by the number of compatible games.
The beta version of SteamVR now has an all-new interface, as well as adding an icon for Oculus Quest in Oculus Link mode.
SteamVR is Valve’s PC virtual reality platform for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The runtime is downloaded and updated via Steam. SteamVR supports all PC VR headsets, so developers building SteamVR apps can target all PC VR users.
SteamVR’s user interface has been mostly unchanged since it launched back in 2016. But back in December, Valve simplified the desktop settings UI with a cleaner more modern design that better matches the Steam client’s new interface.
This same approach has now been taken to the in-VR interface (called Dashboard). The interface is cleaner and has just six buttons along the bottom:
- Menu (☰): exit SteamVR or open the traditional Steam Big Picture interface
- Desktops: 1-click access to your PC monitors (1 shown at a time)
- Library: 1-click access to your 14 most recently launched VR apps
- Store: lists the top selling VR games on Steam (clicking one opens its page in Big Picture)
- Volume: allows the audio volume to be changed (SteamVR now aims to detect the correct speakers by default)
- Settings: in-VR access to the full SteamVR settings, with the same new UI as the desktop
Above: New UI, new settings.
The “Browse All” button of the Library and listings in Store opens up Big Picture and seems to indicate that Valve intends to build out a new for-VR interface for these parts of its store. This may come by the time this build moves to stable, or it might be a longer term project.
In the current stable build of SteamVR, Facebook’s Oculus Quest (used as a PC VR headset via Oculus Link) would show the same icon as Rift S. Valve now added a new icon for the headset. This doesn’t affect functionality, but it’s a nice polishing touch for the many Quest owners venturing onto Steam to explore its wealth of PC VR content.
Above: Oh, new Quest button!
The pace of improvement on SteamVR seems to be ramping up recently. Once a platform only a power user could love, SteamVR now has a core interface arguably better than any other VR platform.
Could all these changes, currently in Beta, be elements of the “SteamVR 2.0” Valve referred to last week? It seems likely, but Valve hasn’t said anything about this specifically. UploadVR will be keeping a close watch on SteamVR’s evolution as the year progresses
