Bigscreen is the most advanced virtual reality surroundings currently available for ALVR and delivers functional productivity as well (workplace) note:if u cant stream ur desktop from bigscreen through steam lag/hardware/etc u can make it work anyway through ALVR

* Type indicates if the game supports VR natively (through SteamVR or Rift) or needs something else, like a mod, to work

** Playable means that the game works well without 6DoF and either a gamepad or keyboard/mouse, without the need for Vive/Touch controllers.
