Window Auto-Focus

Click any window panel in VR — it instantly comes to the foreground on your PC. No more clicking your desktop first. No more alt-tabbing. Just interact.

The Problem

In other VR remote desktop apps like Virtual Desktop and Immersed, when you click a window panel, the click goes to whatever window was last focused on your PC — not the one you're looking at in VR. You see your browser panel, you click it, but your click actually lands on the IDE that was focused behind it. Your keystrokes go to the wrong app. Your workflow breaks.

This is especially frustrating when apps overlap on your PC desktop. You arrange five panels in VR, carefully position them around you, then spend half your time alt-tabbing on your keyboard or clicking your physical desktop to manually bring the right window forward. It defeats the entire purpose of having a spatial workspace.

The Solution

Ethereal's Window Auto-Focus automatically brings the target window to the foreground on your PC the instant you interact with it in VR. Click a browser panel — the browser comes to the front on your PC. Click your IDE — the IDE comes to the front. Click Slack — Slack comes to the front. Every single interaction goes exactly where you expect it to.

There's no setting to enable. No workaround to learn. It just works, every time, on every window. This is how VR remote desktop should have always worked.

How It Works

1

See Your Panels

You have multiple app panels floating in your VR space — browser, IDE, Slack, Spotify, anything you've opened.

2

Click Any Panel

You click or tap on any panel using your hand, controller, or pointer — just like you normally would.

3

Instant Focus

Ethereal instantly brings that window to the foreground on your PC, then delivers your input. All in under 20ms.

Why This Matters

No Wrong-Window Clicks

Every click goes to the right app. Period. No more accidentally typing in the wrong window or clicking the wrong button because your PC had a different app focused.

Faster Workflow

Switch between 5+ apps without alt-tabbing or reaching for your PC. Just look at the panel you want and interact. Your spatial workspace finally works the way it should.

Works With Overlapping Windows

Even when windows overlap on your PC desktop, Ethereal routes input to the correct app. It doesn't matter what's on top on your monitor — only what you're clicking in VR.
