About

ALVR makes it easy to stream OpenVR apps from your gaming computer to your Apple Vision Pro, with support for hand gesture input, dual controllers such as the Nintendo Switch™ Joy-Con™ controllers, or existing lighthouse base station setups for hardcore spatial computing enthusiasts. ALVR is also open-source, does not collect user data, and is constantly improving thanks to our contributors. Requirements: * Computer running a compatible OpenVR runtime - Windows, or Linux * Apple Vision Pro must be on the same local network as the computer For best performance: * Ensure you are connected to a 5GHz 802.11ac router within 20 feet of your playspace with speeds greater than 300Mbps * Ensure network activity from other devices on your 5GHz router is minimal (if possible, use a dedicated AP for streaming) * Make sure your streaming computer is connected directly to the router via ethernet * Ensure AirDrop and Handoff are disabled during gameplay, to prevent stutter from 5GHz channel switching

What's New

Version 20.14.1 • Sep 26, 2025

Changelog: - Updated client runtime to v20.14.1. Please make sure to update your streamer to the same version! - Added support for PSVR2 controllers on visionOS 26. Controllers and hand tracking can be swapped by clacking the PSVR2 controller tracking rings together twice. - Added support for high-resolution rendering in Metal (default) backend on visionOS 26. - (Bugfix) Added a hackfix fallback if HEVC fails to initialize, fixes HEVC support on Release builds. - (Bugfix) Added additional sanitization to headset/controller tracking to ensure SteamVR doesn't get stuck in weird states due to NaNs/infs. Known issues: - Hands may still show despite the hand visibility being set to off. This is a longstanding visionOS bug, open and close the Control Center to fix. - Controllers may be unstable on streamer versions older than v20.11.0. Please update your streamer to resolve this issue. - The client may fail to connect to the streamer is microphone streaming is enabled. Add the client IP address manually to the streamer to resolve the issue. - PSVR2 controllers are currently missing support for button touches, please file feedback with Apple if this feature is important to you.
