Software and resources for compatibility, performance and desktop access in VR.

  • OpenComposite — runs some older OpenVR games through OpenXR without SteamVR. Development has stopped, but it can still be useful for specific games.
  • OpenXR Toolkit — performance and rendering controls for compatible OpenXR applications. Development has stopped, but existing features may still work.
  • Desktop+ — displays desktop windows inside SteamVR.
  • Virtual Desktop — wireless PCVR and remote desktop streaming for standalone headsets.
  • Viveport Infinity — a subscription library primarily focused on PCVR.
  • VR Mods List — a community-maintained directory of VR mods.

Compatibility can change after game, runtime and driver updates. Check each project’s current documentation before installing it.
