ALVR: Open Source Wireless VR Streaming from PC to Headsets
ALVR enables you to stream PC VR games and experiences directly to your standalone VR headset over your local Wi-Fi network, offering an untethered virtual reality experience.
Project Introduction
Summary
ALVR (Air Light VR) is an open-source project that implements a network streaming protocol allowing you to stream SteamVR content from your powerful desktop PC to compatible standalone VR headsets wirelessly. It aims to provide a high-quality, low-latency VR experience without the need for cables.
Problem Solved
Many standalone VR headsets offer convenience but lack the processing power to run demanding PC VR titles. Traditionally, this required a physical link (cable). ALVR eliminates the cable, solving the problem of being tethered to your PC while still accessing its rendering capabilities for richer VR content.
Core Features
Wireless VR Streaming
Stream VR content from your PC to your headset over Wi-Fi with adjustable quality settings.
Low Latency Performance
Optimized encoding and transmission for a responsive, low-latency VR experience crucial for gaming.
Headset Compatibility
Supports a range of standalone Android-based VR headsets, including Meta Quest, Pico, Vive Focus, and others.
Configurable Settings
Extensive options to fine-tune resolution, bitrate, encoding methods, and other parameters for optimal performance.
