Ok, maybe a dumb question but....

Is there any device and app available that would allow a guest to observe everything in VR that you are seeing and doing?  I thinking something that would allow them to see it in the same VR environment.  You know, something that would allow you to take someone on a tour or a ride.

Yep. A live stream using a 360 camera. That's how Oculus Venues works for their live events.

So how does that work?  Can they plug a headset into my computer and watch what I am doing?  I went and looked at a couple but really didn't see something as I am describing.

Well, no. If they are in the same room as you then they don't need to use an HMD to see what you're doing right? 

I was assuming that you want someone to use an HMD in order to view whatever you're doing specifically because you and this person are not in the same room. Like in your example, taking a tour or a ride.

In that example, you would be on a tour bus and I would be at home with  my VR HMD. You would then have a 360 camera where you are live streaming to something like YouTube or Facebook, and then I would be able to watch it that way.

There's some good videos on YouTube about Live Streaming 360 content, depending on what you're trying to achieve.

I want them to see it in VR not on a flat screen.  Say I want to show a friend who is visiting something cool and I want him to experience the full VR as I move about and do my thing.  He's sitting in a chair next to me kicking back with a headset on while I do the deed.  

For example - as I am repairing a node or conduit junction on the exterior of the ship in Lone Echo, that person would be seeing what I am seeing in VR exactly as I am seeing it.

You do realize that they'd throw off the headset after a few seconds because it makes them sick?

You do realize that's a total guess?  I doubt it.  (chuckle)

No, it's not. Few things make people sick more in VR than watching video movements they have no control of.

Yes I know, and I answered that. You can use the 360 cameras to stream, and the person with the VR HMD can watch the stream.

Well in your first example you said a tour or a ride. That's different that someone being in the same room as you. If you want them to experience Lone Echo in VR, then just hand them the HMD so that they can... experience Lone Echo in VR lol

The only other thing you can do is mirror to your flat screen. So that they can see what you're doing.

Other than those options, all you're really asking for in this new example is to have Lone Echo become multiplayer. Because you're asking if they can be in Lone Echo, in VR, alongside you.
