Controller Bindings
You can now remap controller buttons in the Bindings tab. With Rift you can also remap Xbox controller bindings; just make sure to enable Xbox Controller in the headset options and ensure you Xbox controller is paired.
Launch Virtual Desktop from the Dashboard
When you go into the Virtual Desktop SteamVR Dashboard, you now have a button that lets you launch the main app if it isn't started already. This allows you to switch between the two interfaces easily.
Stereo Panorama Environments
You can now create and use stereo panorama environments. These can be created from Ansel 360 stereo screenshots of your favorite games. In addition, stereo cubemaps and stereo panoramas can use HDR images. 48bits PNGs are recommended.
Oculus Dash Support
Version 1.7 uses Oculus SDK 1.20 with Rift and is now compatible with Oculus Dash; It will allow Dash overlays to show up within your environment and have the proper depth cues. Work is being done to integrate the new timewarp layers (cylindrical, cubemap) which will help increase image accuracy. This will be part of a future update.
