# ALVR
ALVR is an open-source remote VR display for devices like [Meta Quest 2](../../devices/Meta%20Quest%202.md). It allows users to play PC VR games on their Quest headset wirelessly. ALVR leverages the power of your gaming PC to provide a high-quality VR experience on the untethered Quest.

## Features
### Wireless VR Streaming
ALVR enables users to stream VR content from their PC to the Oculus Quest wirelessly. This eliminates the need for a physical connection and allows for greater freedom of movement during VR experiences.

### Low Latency
One of ALVR's key strengths is its low latency, providing a smooth and responsive VR experience. This is crucial for maintaining immersion and reducing motion sickness during gameplay.

### Open Source
ALVR is an open-source project, meaning its source code is freely available for anyone to view, modify, and contribute to. This fosters a collaborative development environment and encourages innovation within the VR community.

### Room-Scale VR
ALVR supports room-scale VR, allowing users to move around in physical space while their movements are translated into the virtual environment. This enhances the overall VR experience by providing a more immersive and interactive environment.

## System Requirements
To use ALVR, your system needs to meet certain requirements:
- Oculus Quest headset
- Gaming PC with compatible VR hardware
- Stable Wi-Fi connection
- ALVR software installed on both the PC and Oculus Quest
