Hi folks, this is a small update that fixes the screen brightness slider when multi-monitor is enabled. The threshold for trigger presses has also been changed to make it easier to click and double-click on the desktop. This update also changes the maximum Supersampling value from 3.0 to 2.4 as lots of users cranked it to 3 and wondered why the app was running slow. It doesn't make much of a difference beyond 2.0.
Enjoy!

Oculus Rift S owners will now see the correct controller models. Grabbing the screen using the grip to move/resize now only works when pointing at the screen. This is to prevent accidental movement when picking up the controllers.

This update adds a checkbox to allow the Windows touch keyboard to automatically show up or not on Windows 10. In recent updates of Windows, the touch keyboard is a bit buggy and can cause explorer to restart so the option was added to prevent this from happening.

- Fixed crash when renaming photo or video file
- Fixed crash when audio options change and there's no connected monitor
- Fixed Virtual Desktop Service startup issues
- Fixed crash at startup on some Windows 7 machines

Virtual Desktop now features an Audio tab where you can easily toggle Positional Audio and select the desired speaker configuration through a drop-down (Stereo, Quadraphonic, 5.1 Surround or 7.1 Surround); you no longer need to fiddle in the Windows audio dialogs to get the feature to work.
A configurable shortcut to toggle Positional Audio has also been added to the Bindings tab.
From the Audio tab, you can also change individual speaker volumes and tweak the frequency response through an equalizer. You can pick from existing presets or customize it yourself.
This new version includes a dedicated audio driver which prevents sounds from going into your regular desktop speakers. This driver also allows Positional Audio to work on all VR headsets (not just the Rift).
The previous positional audio implementation wasn't using HRTFs and was rather simplistic. This new implementation greatly enhances the sound quality and surround experience. It also works on Windows 7. You can try it out yourself with multi-channel audio experiences (this example only works with the Microsoft Edge browser).
The photos tab can now display 180° photos taken with recently released VR180 cameras. A distance slider is included to let you adjust pictures that appear too close. The same distance slider has been added to the Videos tab for 180 videos.
The controller interaction with the desktop has always been through simulated Touch Input on Windows 8 and 10. This allows multi-touch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom or swipe-to-scroll. Unfortunately some applications (such as Discord) or sometimes Windows doesn't work quite well in touch mode so there is now an option called "Use Touch Input" under Input Options which can be disabled if you experience such issues. When disabled, the controllers will perform regular mouse clicks instead.
- Fixed "Unable to connect to Virtual Desktop Service" issues.
- Fixed click offset issue on Virtual Desktop window when using multiple monitors with different scaling options after installing Windows 10 April Update. The bug in Windows is still present and might affect other windows so disabling touch input might be required if you experience issues.
- Fixed issue with clicks not working when HP Touch Point software is installed
- Fixed videos being stuck in Software Decoding mode when they refuse to play
- Improved startup time when users have multiple purchased environments in their library
- Stability improvements
Let me know if you experience any issues, thanks!
