## What it is
WiVRn is a fully open-source OpenXR application that wirelessly streams VR games from a Linux PC to standalone Android-based VR headsets like Meta Quest and Pico. It consists of a PC server/dashboard and a headset client that work together over the network.

## Use cases
- play PCVR games on a Quest 2 from a Linux computer
- stream SteamVR games wirelessly to a standalone headset
- replace Air Link on Linux with a FOSS alternative
- use a Pico 4 as a wireless PC VR headset
- set up VR gaming on Steam Deck or Linux desktop
- connect a Quest 3 to a Linux PC for OpenXR games

## When to choose
- you run Linux and want to stream PCVR to a standalone headset
- you want a fully open-source alternative to proprietary streaming solutions
- you own a Quest, Pico, or other Android-based VR headset
- you need OpenXR support with Steam compatibility via xrizer or OpenComposite

## When to avoid
- your PC runs Windows or macOS instead of Linux
- your headset is not Android-based (e.g., PC VR headsets, PlayStation VR)
- you need low-latency wired streaming
- you need Lighthouse tracker support inside a Flatpak sandbox
