Added overview discussing OpenXR
;Dolphin: Regular Dolphin has had support for Stereoscopic 3D video output for a long time.<ref name="dolphin3d">https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2015/05/13/a-second-perspective/</ref> There are support for Side-by-Side, anaglyph, top-and-bottom, 3D Vision output and passive stereoscopic displays. For use with a VR headset, use side-by-side output. For PC, use something like [https://bigscreenvr.com/ Bigscreen] and enable SBS3D mode to show SBS content in your VR headset, for Android it should work right away.
===Overview===
Virtual reality is still in it early days. All applications (such as emulators) that want to support a VR headset have to deal with different APIs, controls and sensors unique to each platform. This will hopefully be fixed when [[Wikipedia:OpenXR|OpenXR]] becomes finalized. OpenXR is an open and royalty-free standard from Khronos (the organization behind open standards such as OpenGL and Vulkan) that will act as a middle man between VR and AR hardware of all sorts with the purpose to solve VR/AR fragmentation. This will hopefully make it possible to implent VR code once with the OpenXR API and have it compatible with all current and future VR headsets. If OpenXR succeeds, VR support in more regular emulators is much more likely.
