Dolphin and OpenXR update
;Decaf VR: A VR fork by [https://github.com/CarlKenner/ CarlKenner] (AKA [https://www.reddit.com/user/2EyeGuy/ 2EyeGuy]). Abadoned. It's just a 3m wide TV floating in the black void 1.5m in front of you (and another one behind you), with a correctly-sized gamepad screen held in your left hand.
;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. As of October 2019 an OpenXR implementation for full VR support is being worked on, see this [https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/8380 pull request] for more info.

==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 get better now that [[Wikipedia:OpenXR|OpenXR]] becomes finalizedhas been released. 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/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.
