VR

Windows games from a MacBook on Meta Quest 3S

Yes. Meta Quest 3S has its own browser, and that is all it takes: Hrava runs the game on your Mac and streams the picture to the headset over Wi-Fi. Nothing needs to be installed on Meta Quest 3S.

Does this work on Meta Quest 3S?

Quest 3S keeps the Fresnel lenses from Quest 2, so the sweet spot is narrower - park the game window closer to centre. The chip is the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 as Quest 3, so 1080p60 holds up equally well. It is the cheapest way to get a big screen for MacBook games.

Display: 1832x1920 per eye, 96° horizontal FoV · Browser: Meta Quest Browser (Chromium)

How to connect

01

Turn on streaming in Hrava

Open the VR panel in Hrava - it shows an address and a QR code.

02

Open the address in your headset

Scan the QR in the headset browser, or type the address.

03

Enter the PIN

Once per headset. Then start a game on the Mac - streaming begins on its own.

What it does NOT do

  • This is not a stereoscopic VR mode: the game stays flat, with no 3D depth
  • No in-game head tracking (6DoF) - the game camera does not follow your head
  • Ordinary games do not become VR games
  • It needs your home Wi-Fi: this does not work over the internet

What you need

  • A Mac on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer)
  • A VR headset with a modern browser
  • The same Wi-Fi network (5 GHz preferred)
  • macOS permissions: Screen Recording and Accessibility

Common questions

Do I need to install anything on Meta Quest 3S?

No. All it needs is the browser it already has. Everything happens on the Mac.

Is this real stereoscopic VR?

No. It is a big virtual screen: the game stays flat, like on a monitor. There is no stereoscopy and no in-game head tracking.

How fast does my Wi-Fi need to be?

A normal 5 GHz home network is enough. If the picture stutters, switch Hrava to 720p60 or 1080p30.
