Remote Desktop

Use your Windows PC, wirelessly, in your mobile VR headset.

Bigscreen's "Remote Desktop" feature brings an infinite window of content to your mobile VR headset. Browse the web, watch videos, or even play your favorite PC videogame.

Imagine sitting on your couch playing Fortnite on your Oculus Go in a VR gaming lounge with your friends!

• Up to 1080p 30fps, with desktop audio streaming
• Stream to up to 12 users simultaneously (mobile or PC users)
• Works on any recent Windows PC with an Nvidia or AMD GPU
• No VR headset is required
• Works on the same WiFi network in your home, or even remotely streamed from a cloud server

This is in-development

Coming Soon: 60fps & low latency streaming

This is an experimental feature that is actively in-development. 1080p 30fps and 100-200ms latency means Bigscreen Remote Desktop is best for movies today, and not great for gaming.

We will launch 60fps streaming and low-latency streaming in the end of May 2018, which will be ideal for gaming. We are also working on wireless input bluetooth keyboard/gamepad support. For now, your keyboard or gamepad must be directly connected to the PC.

How to get started

Step 1

Download Bigscreen on your Windows PC from Steam or the Oculus Store

Download from Steam or Oculus Store

Step 2

Launch into "Remote Desktop" 2D mode

If you're using Steam, right click on Bigscreen in your Library and select "Play Remote Desktop streaming client"

If you're using the Oculus Store version, right click on Bigscreen in your Library and select "Start in Desktop Mode"

Step 3

Connecting your PC to your Mobile VR Headset

Click on "Start Streaming", which creates a multiplayer room for you to join on your Mobile VR headset. Clicking "connect" will reveal a Room ID that you can type into the Bigscreen app on your mobile VR headset. You can share this Room ID with friends, and they can also watch what you do on your Windows PC from their VR headset. This works exactly like Bigscreen multiplayer rooms on the Windows PC.

Step 4

Optional extras like desktop audio streaming

Click on the orange "volume icon" to begin desktop audio streaming. Low Latency mode is an experimental feature that trades video quality for video latency.
