I am very pleased with the AVOlight software,
but because of possible vision problems from head mounted displays,
(I may be pushing my eyes left, right, up, & down, so intensely my eye muscles are getting distorted)
I may be forced to stop (sob!) using my Oculus.
I LOVE the AVOlight vast expanse of many windows,
how it can be set up & then saved for future reactivation,
& how one can 'scroll' around over what amounts to
a giant seemless desktop covered with all sorts of videos, pictures, etc.
My question is this: Can I do it without a head mounted display? Do you guys know of software that is essentially AVOlight but with a 'scrolling' or panning of the display, say controlled with a joy stick or something, that produces a space full of things that can be saved & recalled like your wonderful AVOlight does?
I do not want to give up my Oculus, but if you produce or know of something that does what AVOlight does using a regular pan-able display (or something..) could you tell me what it's called? (I want to get it!)
You're doing a great job with AVOlight, so keep it up!
Sincerely, Lhaw

Greetings!
There is an interface overlay I've glimpsed in passing somewhere, that makes AVOLight look like a *movie theater*, & gives (I hope) limiting edges to the area where the video instances are displayed.
In other words, instead of an infinite spatial expanse, edges are introduced (in the form of the 'theater' movie screen) that hopefully can limit the viewing angles.
Where can I turn this on, & perhaps set it as a default?
And on another topic, does it look like AVOLight will work on the new Microsoft Mixed Reality Headsets once Steam & Microsoft sync up?
Thanks!

I can confirm that AVOlight does have a working zoom-in slider in it's GUI : Have you tried out the demo ?

Rather then looking left/right/up/down it's more like

I haven't seen those limiting edges... but basically you can put the video instances 360° around you wherever you want (both vertically and horizontally), so if you want to place them within rectangular edges in front of you, you just have to place them that way and that's how they'll be : Pyramid/star/cross/whatever shape you want... any shape is possible, even a full 3D sphere covered with media viewers, since you have no limit to how you can place them.

And is it possible to buy it outside steam or oculus store ?
