Can I use Oculus Quest 2 PC link mode for SteamVR development?

Hi, I want to develop content for Vive pro and Vive Cosmos
but I don't really want to buy them because I plan to get a Oculus Q2

 

Can I develop and test SteamVR content for VIVE and use Oculus in the development for testing?

Will it cause any problems? for example Key bindings?  

I would be very grateful if you could help me with this! Thanks!

Hi, 

Yes you can use your Quest 2 for make a project that will work on any device. 

I recommand you to follow this tutorial : Introduction to VR in Unity - UNITY XR TOOLKIT - YouTube, you will learn how to make your Project compatible with all majors devices (HTC, Vive ... ) and don't be stuck with SteamVR.

If you really want to use SteamVR, it's made for be compatible with all devices SteamVR compatible so you can do it with your Quest2 and it will work. Remmember, SteamVR will be required for use your app (you can't do a standalone app with SteamVR).

 

Hope I helped you, feel free to give a kudo and mark this as a solution it would help me 😉
