RoboDK + SteamVR + Oculus Quest 2 + Virtual Desktop

    Hi

    I am experimenting with Virtual Reality, I would like to be able to see our cell layouts that we made in RoboDK in my Oculus Quest 2 headset. The headset is connected to the PC via Virtual Desktop. Steam VR is running on the PC, it is working fine. I start RoboDK and tell it to connect to the headset. A window pops up on the PC, showing the view of the headset, and I can see it tracks the movements correctly. But within the headset itself, in SteamVR, it just stays at "Next: RoboDK", and I never get to see the virtual view. It doesnt matter how long I wait. Any clues what could be going on here? I have not tried Oculus Link, since that does not work with my computer for some reason. But Virtual Desktop seems to be working fine for other applications, so I assumed it would be here, too.

    Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

    I found the solution. RoboDK was apparently running on the wrong graphics card. I had the same problem in another program, but there I actually got a warning saying that the headset had to be running on the same graphicscard as the main monitor. In Windows it is possible to specify on an app-per-app basis what graphicscard it should be running on. Once I did that for RoboDK, it worked fine.
