Bigscreen | VRplatform | SteamVR | Oculus Go | Yes | Bigscreen streaming movies/desktop/games/community through ALVR is recommended procedure *note for streaming video to headset SKYBOX is optimal(its own server no alvr) in ALVR: 5ghz/40+mbps max buffer and high resolution are known to work flawless with bigscreen. 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.
