A developer got Apple Vision Pro working on SteamVR by porting ALVR. You’re probably familiar with the three most popular tools to make Meta Quests act as PC VR headsets on Windows: Virtual Desktop, Steam Link, and Quest (Air) Link. But you might not be as familiar with ALVR, the open-source alternative that has been around since before any of those. ALVR is an Android client app with a Windows streamer, compatible with most Android-based headsets including Quest, Pico, and Vive XR Elite. But the code is open-source, and software developer Zhuowei Zhang has successfully ported it to visionOS, meaning Vision Pro too can act as a Windows PC VR headset.
Too bad apple isn’t going to let Steam (or any other marketplace) simply exist natively on its headset for users to enjoy. This is Apple’s vision for the future of computing!
How can you be so sure? It’s touted as a computer… Mac OS can run steam just fine
It’s touted as a ”spacial computing” device, and it certainly has a Mac chip in it, but the OS is built more like iPadOS than MacOS. Tell me how well steam runs on iPadOS.
