VR hardware

Arkio supports standalone mobile VR headsets like the Oculus Quest and more powerful tethered devices like the Oculus Rift(-S), HTC Vive (Pro) and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. High frame-rates are important for a comfortable VR experience, so you need to make sure you have adequate performance and a powerful GPU especially if you like to work on big scenes, higher resolutions or larger imported models. Some recommended specs for a good VR workstation/laptop can be found here.

Oculus Rift & Rift-S

Oculus disables the running of non-store software by default. You need to enable this feature in the settings of the Oculus desktop app. The Oculus version of Arkio offers enhanced user controls using tracked hand gestures. For specific help and support on setting up these devices correctly please visit the official Oculus website

Oculus Quest and Quest 2

Once you have access to the Arkio beta channel you'll see Arkio available on the Quest in your library under "Not Installed".

HTC Vive & Vive PRO

All versions of the HTC Vive are supported by Arkio, just make sure to have a recent version of SteamVR installed on your system. If you need help in with setting up Steam and these devices please visit the official Steam VR website.

Windows MR

All versions of Windows Mixed Reality headsets are supported. You just need to install SteamVR and the Windows MR support from Steam to use these devices. For help on setup or troubleshooting these devices can be found on the official WIndows Mixed Reality help pages.

Valve Index

The Valve Index controllers can be used with Arkio on Steam and will work similarly to the Vive wands.
