Passthrough Virtual Environment on Oculus Link Home

Hi,

 

Is there a way to use Passthrough virtual environment inside Link home?

 

That I can easily see my mouse and keyboard while working with Link's Virtual Desktop (not the app but the one on Oculus Link menu).

 

Many thanks,

Just use Virtual Desktop, they have passthrough with 90hz refresh rate option ( wireless ofcorse) I no longer use Oculus HOME app or Oculus app of any kind on my PC. Only STEAM VR. If you want to use Steam link ( NOT OCULUS LINK) then you have to wait for a bit they will have passthrough soon ( possibly already have it( you can check in the steam menu) as for OCULUA link I do not think uses that anymore. It’s a bit outdated and it only had Passthrough for the OCULUS RIFT originally and only using UNiTY set up, which was externally complex. I suggest VIRTUAL DESKTOP it’s out of the box Passthrough and it is wireless…. Aaand providing you have good to great internet ( at least 5G or even better 6G, but 5G should be fine) you will not notice much latency with wireless connection… in fact I would argue wireless is better connection now days then Oculus wired Link with OCULUS app. So just get Virtual Desktop and enjoy the passthrough 🤩 This was brought to you by a RI ( Regular Inelegance ) 🤦‍:male_sign:😂😂😂

I've been using Remote Desktop somewhat happily on Mac, but it's flaky.  Sometimes it won't connect at all.

I'm also not thrilled about bouncing my screen off of Meta's servers.  Just wasteful of bandwidth, besides the privacy concerns.

I'm using AirLink with my Quest 3 right now, but I would really like pass through to work, too.

I can generally type without using my keyboard, but not completely.

Still need help?
