Apple's mixed reality headset Vision Pro may soon have computer VR support. In fact, the device may even support Steam VR games.
The efforts put into making Apple Vision Pro work with Steam VR have finally paid off. Of course, it may be necessary to sacrifice a large amount of money to experience this experience. Moreover, this development process does not seem to be completed very easily.
ALVR Software Plays an Important Role in the Project
With the help of an open source program called ALVR, virtual reality games on the computer are transferred from a computer to a virtual reality headset. This headset is generally used for mirroring games to wireless titles such as Meta Quest 3. According to information obtained, this open source software may start supporting Vision Pro soon.
VR Support is Provided to Vision Pro with ALVR Open Source Code
It can be seen that eight users contributed to the GitHub project 139 times in the last month. There is no stable version available for review yet. On the other hand, a good gaming computer is required to run these games. Because, Current M3 MacBook Pros can't run Steam VR games.
You will also need a different device with Xcode to connect with the Apple headset. For controls, the best solution is to use a physical remote control. It is only possible to do this with the Valve Index controller.
So, at this stage, there may not be a need to go to such expense and trouble to wear a headset and play games. It seems possible to have a similar experience much cheaper and easier using devices such as Meta Quest 2.
