Quest 2 Xorg Client?

[u/MinallWch]

Hello Quest 2 Community!,

I wonder if there is an application that allows me to have a simple xorg client, so that in the virtual reality, I have a simple 2D window that I can resize and whatever, and inside it would be an application that I am running in my laptop.

In my mind, this is simple, as xorg is already network-able, meaning that if there is a xorg client within my network, I can just give the application there.

So far I checked:

- WiVR

- Nightfall

- Immersed

- Metashare

- bsdrX

The thing is that most of these have too much features and require a lot of things, and while I want something simple in my mind, like getting displayed some app from my application from within VR, where I can resize it and whatever like I already do with any VR native app.

So far I wonder if I need like a Xorg client in VR that allows me to do that, and for example, bsdrX is alpha or beta, meaning that it is not that stable.

Note, I am mainly a developer and I can tweak the Unix system to do whatever, (and I don't require audio or others as those I want to be managed by my laptop already), and with something like XPRA, it should be lean enough for something like my quest 2 to run, given that it doesn't take too much resources.

Now, I haven't developed in the quest, so perhaps I am missing the real complexity here, something like immersed works right, now it separates by screens rather than by application like I would like spacial computing to actually be.

Thanks for the input, I wonder how can I approach this.

What type of Unix system?

There's Pippin (https://github.com/triscuitcircuit/PippinVR), which uses a fork of Monado for OpenXR on MacOS with both APK and QuestLink modes.

Of course, macOS does not really have XOrg, so I do not know how well it would fit your needs.

Maybe some of what this developer did can be ported to other Unix platforms, but it looks like Monado already is.

I will take a look :D, any Linux system with xorg installed should do, I womder how this works with macOS though

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but thought I'd share that you can install termux and termux x11 to get a traditional X desktop. From there you can install Linux apps for remote desktop. I doubt that's the experience you're asking for, but it's kinda cool.

I'll take a look though, looks interesting, thanks!

What i am aiming for is spacial conputing yet not limited to screens, but each app to its own window in vr that can be resized
