Very cool program you have here, though the constant rendering I feel is a bit of a problem. Is it possible to turn it off and modify the parameters without immense slowdowns?

It does need a bit of work, admittedly. Other than that, I feel that it has the potential to grow into an amazing program!

I have updated the build (just download and reinstall it). The new version allows you to move in the VR mode (using Oculus Touch or Remote)

This programm should allways start in paused

I do not think this makes sense, because then you can not rotate the image, change the parameters, etc. If you have a weak video card, so probably then you should use Mandelbulber. It will work slower, but at least you can edit the fractal.

The idea of this program is that it would sharply raise the speed of rendering using parallel computations on the GPU. Modern video cards are hundreds of times more productive than the CPU. But if you do not have an appropriate video card ....
OK. I tried to make an adaptive setting. Now the program at the start checks the rendering time and, if it is less than 10 fps, reduces the window size. Three dimensions are available: 1920x1080(default), 1440x720 and 1024x512. I tested this algorithm on my oldest card (GTX 680) and, in the worst cases, the rendering speed was within 6-7 fps. It is not perfect but acceptable. On my system (GUI: AMD R9 Nano, Rendering: Titan V + Titan P) the FPS never falls below 30 fps (1920x1080).

One tip - use "Microsoft Basic Render Driver" as a GUI adapter (it's default now). Drawing the buttons can be performed on the CPU, it will at least slightly relieve the main video card.

Since i use my Computer for CPU intensive stuff like programming, fracals ect. and don't have any desire for 4K gaming, i spent my budget on a I7 8700K and an GT 1030 instead of an balanced or twice as expensive build.

How many frames per second do you have now at 1030? (you need to download the latest build). I looked at its specs - this GPU is not much worse  than GTX 680, i.e. you can expect 6-7 frames per second at a resolution 1024x512. I'm more concerned about the memory size - 2GB may not be enough for VR, although it should work in 2D mode.

If you decide to upgrade the video card, do not throw away the old one, you can use two cards, that will increase the speed by at least twice.
Take a look how two different cards work in parallel:

Was able to take a first sight on your updated version. It is awesome, how effective it calculates such a complex fractal. Thanks for your modifications. With your suggestion of choosing "Microsoft Basic Render Driver" as a GUI adapter and your new starting configuration its running enjoyable on my 1030. Mandelbulber is only that fast on my CPU on some of the simplest fractals. Your presets are great and the graphics are flawless!

I will take further looks the next days.

looks great , a bit crashy but doubtless down to me twiddling the settings too much.  Very smooth otherwise . Also my antiVirus stuff doesn't like it!

Any chance of a native Mac version ?

Any chance of a native Mac version ?

This application is written on DirectX 12, so it's technically impossible... 

On my machine Norton Security says it is dangerous and will not let me install it

Perhaps this is due to the fact that Oculus SDK tries to send request to the Oculus server. I do not see any other explanation. In any case, there is nothing dangerous or malicious.
