Microsoft recently introduced the ability to stream Xbox One game to Windows 10 PC over home network, and now it has partnered with Oculus to bring the same ability to Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets when connected to Windows 10 PCs.
Rift owners will be able to stream their Xbox One library to Rift with the new Xbox One Streaming to Oculus Rift app which will be made available for free in the Oculus Store on Dec. 12.
The new Xbox One Streaming to Oculus Rift app connects to your Xbox One via your home network. Once connected, your console’s video output is streamed to your Rift headset and projected onto a massive screen in your choice of one of three VR environments: "Citadel," "Retreat" and "Dome."
Obviously, the app is not meant to magically turn your Xbox One games to VR ones. Instead, it is meant as a way to play your games privately (for example, to prevent nearby kids from seeing mature content) or to play on a (virtual) screen larger than the one you have.
