How to Run Oculus Rift App Natively on Steam
If you are in SteamVR mode, it will do it automatically (depending on what device you are using). Otherwise you usually right click the item in the desktop client and select the option: Launch Oculus Rift in VR Mode. It might also give you a popup if you try to launch it straight away.
- Only apps compiled against the OVR SDK can run on Rift natively. Native Rift apps use Oculus Runtime directly and allow asynchronous timewarp.
