WiVRn

An open source VR streaming solution for Linux

WiVRn allows you to run VR applications on your PC and display and control them wirelessly from a compatible headset.

How WiVRn works

Head tracking, controller tracking, and hand tracking data are sent from your headset to your PC, and audio and video data are sent from your PC to your headset over WiFi, with software or hardware compression in H264 or HEVC.

Compatible with many headsets

WiVRn works with Meta Quest 1, 2, 3 and Pro, with Pico Neo 4, and with HTC Vive Focus 3 and XR Elite.

Compatible with OpenXR and OpenVR applications

Using Monado for OpenXR and OpenComposite for OpenVR, WiVRn is compatible with most VR applications, including SteamVR games.
