ALVR (Air Light VR) is an open-source remote VR display that streams SteamVR output from a gaming PC to standalone headsets like Gear VR, Oculus Go, and Oculus Quest over Wi-Fi. It uses hardware video encoding (NVENC/AMF VCE) and Asynchronous Timewarp to provide smooth head-tracking for playing PC VR games untethered.
Use cases
- play SteamVR games on an Oculus Quest or Gear VR without wires
- stream PC VR games to a standalone headset over Wi-Fi
- turn a Gear VR or Oculus Go into a wireless PC VR headset
- run desktop SteamVR titles on Android-based VR headsets
- low-latency remote VR display with head-tracking over 802.11ac
When to choose
- you have a Gear VR or Oculus Go and want to play PC VR games wirelessly
- you have a high-end Windows PC with an NVIDIA NVENC-capable GPU (or AMD AMF VCE) and a strong 802.11ac/ethernet network
- you specifically need the legacy unmaintained version for Gear VR support
When to avoid
- you own an Oculus Quest or Quest 2 - use the actively developed fork at alvr-org/ALVR instead
- you need maintained software with bug fixes and new device support, since this repository is no longer maintained
- your PC has a weak GPU or your Wi-Fi cannot sustain low-latency high-bitrate video streaming
