## What it is
ALVR (Air Light VR) is an open-source application that streams PC VR games to standalone VR headsets over Wi-Fi, acting as a SteamVR driver on the PC side with a companion client app on the headset. It supports Quest, Pico, Vive Focus, Apple Vision Pro, and other headsets, with a Rust-based server and launcher for Windows and Linux.

## Use cases
- play SteamVR games on a Quest 2 wirelessly
- stream PC VR games to a standalone headset over Wi-Fi
- use a high-end gaming PC to run VR games for a Pico 4
- avoid buying a VR-ready cable by streaming over air link
- run PCVR on Apple Vision Pro
- play VR games from a Linux gaming PC on a Quest 3

## When to choose
- you own a supported standalone headset (Quest, Pico, Vive Focus, Vision Pro) and want wireless PCVR
- you want an open-source alternative to Virtual Desktop or Air Link
- you game on Windows or Linux with SteamVR

## When to avoid
- you need macOS PC support
- you have an Oculus Go or Lynx R1
- your network cannot handle low-latency high-bandwidth streaming
