No network needed
The video stream goes through a USB tunnel between the PC and the headset. Your internet connection doesn't matter.

LunaQuest
Play your PC VR games on your Quest over a USB cable, without the Meta app. A great alternative if you don't have a good connection.
Why a cable
Wi-Fi dropping? The cable holds.
Wireless streaming depends on your network. With LunaQuest, the image goes straight through the USB cable: no overloaded router, no drops when someone starts a video in the next room.
1 click
One-click connection
LunaQuest opens the tunnel, starts SteamVR and the LunaQuest app in the headset for you.
0 Meta
No heavy software
A light, smooth window instead of the Meta PC app.
Features
Everything you need, nothing more.
Plug in and go
The automatic connection starts as soon as the headset is plugged in. Nothing left to click.
Built-in ALVR settings
Frame rate, video bitrate, codec, sound, microphone: everything is set in LunaQuest, without opening ALVR.
Headset always awake
The headset no longer goes to sleep when you put it down, which prevents games freezing at launch.
Live status
Headset, battery, USB tunnel, SteamVR: see at a glance what is ready and what is missing.
Guided setup
ADB and the LunaQuest headset app install from LunaQuest, with a built-in step-by-step guide.
Made for SteamVR
Your SteamVR games start as usual: Beat Saber, VRChat and the rest.
New · 0.4.1
Your app, your way.
Four languages, eight themes, performance stats in the headset and a way to record your games. At startup, a saber slash opens the screen, then a short tutorial shows you each part of the app.
Languages and themes
French, English, Chinese or Japanese. Black, white, blue, red, pink, purple, green or yellow theme.
Stats in the headset
Press both joysticks at the same time: frame rate, latency, bitrate and packet loss appear in front of you.
Record
One button records the headset stream as a video, saved in your Videos folder.
The right controllers
Quest 3 / 3S, Pro or 2 controllers recognized automatically, with the standard hand gestures in VRChat and other games.
Full body
Your whole body, in VR.
FBE (Full Body Estimation): LunaQuest creates virtual trackers for your body, or follows your real trackers. A live 3D preview shows each device, its tracking and its battery.
FBE Only
Your whole body estimated by the Quest cameras: chest, hips, elbows, knees and feet. No trackers to buy.
FBT
Only your real trackers (Vive, Tundra…) and your base stations, as usual, with the live preview and each tracker's battery.
Base stations
Turn your 2.0 base stations on or put them to sleep through the PC's Bluetooth, even when not connected. In FBT, they can turn on by themselves when you connect and go to sleep at the end.
Preview
An app under the moon.
Connection: live headset status, the big Connect button, the PC screen in the headset and a log of what's happening.
The screenshots show the app in French; in the app, open Settings (gear icon) and pick English.
Performance
Great performance, no NASA PC.
LunaQuest uses your graphics card's video encoder. A mid-range card is enough to play smoothly.
90Hz
Smooth in game on a mid-range card.
100Mbit/s
Comfortable video bitrate over USB.
0Wi-Fi
No dependence on your connection.
Test setup
Measured with a Quest 3 and a GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB), over a USB cable.
What you need
| System | Windows 10 or 11 |
| Graphics card | SteamVR compatible. An RTX 3060 already does the job very well. |
| Headset | Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S or Pro, in developer mode |
| Cable | USB-C, USB 3 recommended |
| Software | Steam and SteamVR (free). ALVR is included. |
Current version0.4.1
Available in early access
LunaQuest works, but it's still being polished: your feedback helps improve it.
- 0.4.1: your headset's controllers (Quest 3 / 3S, Pro or 2) in SteamVR, with the standard hand gestures in VRChat and other games. LunaQuest no longer opens twice.
- Languages and themes: French, English, Chinese, Japanese and eight color themes. Startup animation and guided tutorial.
- In game: stats in the headset (both joysticks), Record button, low battery alerts.
- Base stations: on and sleep through Bluetooth, manually or automatically in FBT.
- Handy: start with Windows (icon near the clock) and update check.
- Fix: LunaQuest no longer removes other SteamVR drivers (Space Calibrator, Virtual Desktop…). The FBE Mix mode is removed.
- Install: a real installer, no admin rights, with a clean uninstall. Full tutorial included.
- Windows warning: the installer isn't signed yet. If Windows shows “Windows protected your PC”, click “More info” then “Run anyway”.

Support
A question? We'll help.
Do I need the Meta app on my PC?
No. LunaQuest goes through ALVR and SteamVR. The Meta PC app isn't needed.
Does it work with a bad internet connection?
Yes, that's the whole point: the image goes through the USB cable, not your Wi-Fi. Steam only needs internet to start as usual.
Which headsets are supported?
Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S and Pro, with developer mode enabled (free, from the Meta Horizon phone app).
My game freezes at launch, what should I do?
Leave “Keep the headset awake” on: a sleeping headset blocks the image. With modded Beat Saber, the BeatLeader mod can also freeze the game under SteamVR.
The image stutters in the headset.
Lower the video bitrate in ALVR settings, for example to 60 Mbit/s, and use a USB 3 cable.
How do I get the app in English?
Open Settings (the gear icon at the bottom left), choose English, and let LunaQuest restart.
