Appendix
About VIVE Streaming
VIVE Streaming lets you stream, wirelessly or through a USB cable,
SteamVR-compatible titles from your computer directly to your headset. This includes
VIVEPORT™ titles.
VR content is generated on the computer, and then sent to the headset, turning your standalone headset into a top-notch PC VR headset. Your VR titles will use the standalone headset tracking and controllers, so there's no additional hardware to set up.
Important: VIVE Streaming is only supported on
Windows computers.
