Currently standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment.

What is Virtual Reality (VR)?
- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Applications of virtual reality can include entertainment (i.e. gaming) and educational purposes (i.e. medical or military training). Other, distinct types of VR style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality.
Currently standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment. A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens. Virtual reality typically incorporates auditory and video feedback, but may also allow other types of sensory and force feedback through haptic technology.
Implementation of VR in the Tygron Platform
Oculus Rift DK2 unit
VR is implemented on the Tygron Platform in an experimental setup. Currently the following is needed:
- A PC with HIGH or above settings (EXTREME settings are recommended)
- Windows 7 (Win 10 is NOT supported!)
- An Oculus Rift DK2 (consumer Rifts or other brands are not supported and tested)
- Oculus Runtime 0.4.2
- Suppported Tygron Platform Client (LTS or Preview)
Using VR on the Tygron Platform
To use VR on the Tygron Platform, please follow these instructions:

- Ensure that the display output is set to Portrait in the Windows Display Settings (right click on desk top)
Configuration Utility and Rift Display Mode
Configuration Utility window
Select Extended Desktop
Ensure that the display output is set to Portrait
How to run the Tygron Platform on the Oculus Rift DK2:
- Boot Tygron Platform client
- In main menu, select Options
