Welcome to the LVRA Wiki#

This is a collection of links, useful resources and guides for the amazing world of VR on Linux.

Feel free to contribute to this wiki yourself if you find anything useful that you might want to share with others.

Quickstart#

Your VR setup all depends on what hardware you have installed/available.

  • WiVRn mascot

    For standalone/Android/wireless headsets, use WiVRn.

  • Envision logo

    For wired headsets like Index/Vive/WMR/Oculus/Rift, use Envision to run or compile the latest Monado and xrizer.

  • If you’re unsure which you have, refer to the VR Gear & GPUs page.
  • xrizer is necessary for OpenVR games to run. It may be included with your WiVRn or Envision setup, but this depends on installation method.
  • WiVRn+xrizer or Monado+xrizer serve as replacements for SteamVR. Once you set up the FOSS VR stack, you won’t need to launch SteamVR anymore.
  • SteamVR is still an option, but we don’t recommend it, and should only be used as a last resort. SteamVR for Linux is listed as a “development release”; it is not intended for end-users. Expect worse results than the above FOSS VR options.
  • For a full list of all VR hardware, GPUs, and more, visit the VR Gear & GPUs page.
