VXR.Direct works with both tethered AND mobile headsets.
- For tethered headsets, units are installed directly to your PC and can be played through VXR.Direct or through your Start Menu
- PC units work with all tethered headsets: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and WMR.
- For mobile headsets, this is a brand new system specifically designed for educators to simplify the process of loading content onto multiple headsets.
- VXR.Direct will ONLY work with a Windows PC. It will not work with a Mac, Linux, or Virtual Machine.
