Swift provides:
Swift comes with 2 components:
With our image sharpening algorithms and pass-through camera support (Vive only), you don't need to take the VR HMD off to see your keyboard or read small text on the screen.
Imagine playing your favorite FPS and vehicle piloting games with the freedom to look and aim instantly, or getting extra awareness in your favorite RTS or MOBA on a massive virtual cinema screen, or even blocking out the sights and sounds around you to chill and relax to a good show. Download Swift now and turn that imagination into a reality!
Why wait for VR content tomorrow when you can have it today?
Notes:
For more detailed instructions on how to set Swift up, refer to the Swift guide. Few games require extra steps to setup, which is described in the FAQ.
Swift provides:
- 360 view in game based on head tracking (ideal for playing games in the first person perspective).
- Cinema mode for playing casual games on the big screen or watching movies (including stereo 3D, encoded in side-by-side format).
- Desktop viewer for using your Windows apps or browsing the web (Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 only).
- Blended reality / Vive camera pass-through aka beer mode so you can see your keyboard, popcorn, beer (Vive only).
- GUI to configure Swift's functionality. Enable and setup Swift once, then start your apps the regular way.
Swift comes with 2 components:
- MyDream Swift: DX9 + DX11 games VR injector for playing your games in 360 view on your VR display system.
- Swift Desktop: for use in games not working with the MyDream Swift injector and to display your favorite Windows apps in VR. Swift Desktop can also switch to first person mode (where your head orientation maps to the corresponding look direction in game) and supports many DX9-12 and OpenGL (eg DOOM) games. Note that game performance might be marginally lower than the injector and you might need to choose windowed fullscreen mode in the game's options.

Notes:
- Set the game's FOV to 100-120 if the game supports it. Then adjust Swift's screen size (CTRL+SHIFT+[+/-]) until turning feels natural.
- Swift supports DK2 and CV1 and requires Oculus Home: https://www.oculus.com/en-us/setup/. It does not work with the legacy Oculus runtime 0.8 or earlier.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the Vive (20.6.2016). The Screen Mode maybe, I haven't really tried that, but playing Games in 360 Degrees "right in the middle of it" doesn't work. Alien Isolation only started in Screen Mode And it was not possible to move or look around. Same with Arma and Fallout 4.
I'm going to give the Software back again. Too bad it would have been great ...
08.12.16-I wanted to edit my Review rather, but for professional Reasons I haven't really come to Play so much in the last Few months. I didn't return the Software after all, now it costs only 1 euro and it now seems to work better with many Games with the HTC-Vive. I also came across later that I also made a Mistake in the Settings. That Is why I am going to withdraw my negative Review. In order to get the Price that the Software only costs in the meantime, you definitely can't regret anything when making a Purchase.

Yes for Hobbyists, No to Buyers who take the Description text seriously.
The Software is in Principle Pre-pX for The poor and that is literally, because It is much cheaper.
For 99 Cents, for me, it offers Exactly what I expected from the Software, but by no Means what You claim to be.
The Software can project exactly one Thing that does not PLAY VR on the HMD. I only own the Vive, so I don't know if there are alternatives for the Oculus but for the Vive this Seems the cheapest Option.
Whether the Game goes along with this "Hack" turns out quite quickly. In My Opinion, it works with 30% of Games, which is a meagre yield especially if you buy it especially for your Desired Game!
If the Game works though, you have the following Possibilities. Cinema mode or "First Person."
Cinema Mode is nothing special in this Case, well it works best, but there are also other Software that can provide such a thing for free.
Therefore, I only deal with the First Person: In Principle, the Cinema screen is held and fixed in front of the Face. In my Opinion, this works quite well. The Rest is a little down to the Game itself how well it works.
Now the Crafting Work Begins, because from that point on the Software did everything You could. Anyone who expects to be able to immerse themselves in their Game directly virtually will be disappointed!
Mirrors Edge worked best for me, but I didn't play it for long anyway.
Once a Game is well set up, an important Part is still missing. 3d!
I think the Price Performance Ratio is right only the Developer promises you unfortunately far too much.
There May soon be a Tool that offers these Functions for free, but until then it is probably the easiest Way for little Money to get a Game on the HDM.
In Short, I can only recommend the Software for Enthusiasts who like to tinker a little and are not angry if it doesn't work out. But If you are someone who loads down Dolphin VR and then throws down the Part because 4 out of 5 Games you didn't want to start and jerks the 5th unplayable, you can spend the 99 Cents in the €1 Shop or buy Sweets at the Kiosk ^ ^
