VR

Windows games from a MacBook on Pico 4

Yes. Pico 4 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 Pico 4.

Does this work on Pico 4?

Pico 4 has pancake lenses and a rear battery that balances the weight, so long sessions stay comfortable. Its Chromium browser supports WebCodecs. On a crowded 5 GHz band, switching to 1080p30 makes the stream noticeably steadier.

Display: 2160x2160 per eye, 105° horizontal FoV · Browser: Pico 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 Pico 4?

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.
