Using Senso Gloves with SteamVR and portable Android-based HMD (Quest, Pico, Focus etc)
Overview
Same way as it can be performed with wired HMD like HTC Vive, most of standalone Android-based HMD also could be used.
For this, you'll need to do these things:
- Install ALVR software on the PC
- Install ALVR client apk on HMD
- Enable hand tracking on HMD
- Make sure they are both in the same WiFi network
- Launch everything
That's all !
As a working release of ALVR (open source software for casting video from SteamVR to HMD over WiFi) you can use version 20.7.1 or later, available here
Here is also wiki page for ALVR in case of additional information
Also you can download it directly from our site
