ALVR (Air Light VR) is an open-source system that enables wireless virtual reality streaming by transmitting VR content from a PC to a standalone headset over a network connection. It allows users to run PC-based VR applications while using devices such as standalone headsets, effectively bridging the gap between high-performance desktop VR and portable hardware. The system works by encoding video output from the PC, streaming it over Wi-Fi, and decoding it on the headset in real time, while also transmitting input data such as head tracking and controller movements back to the PC. ALVR supports low-latency streaming through optimized encoding techniques and network configurations, making it suitable for interactive VR experiences. It also includes customizable settings for bitrate, resolution, and performance tuning, allowing users to balance quality and responsiveness. The project is actively developed and supports multiple platforms, including Windows and Linux.
