SunQuest

Play your PC VR games on your Quest wirelessly, over Wi-Fi, just like with Virtual Desktop. Open the app in the headset: SteamVR starts on its own on the PC and your game library appears in front of you.

Why wireless

Cable holding you back? Wi-Fi sets you free.

Turn, jump and play standing anywhere in the room with no cable to trip over. SunQuest sends the image over your Wi-Fi and checks that your network can keep up. Wi-Fi not great? LunaQuest does the same over a USB cable.

0 cable

Free to move

A USB cable once to install the headset app, then never again.

0 click

Open and play

Open SunQuest in the headset: the PC hears it on the network and starts SteamVR on its own.

0 Meta

No heavy software

A light window that waits for your headset next to the clock, without the Meta PC app.

Features

Like Virtual Desktop, for free.

01

Connects on its own

SunQuest waits in the background on the PC. Open the app in the headset and SteamVR starts: nothing to click on the PC.

02

Library in the headset

Your VR games with their cover art, most recently played first. Aim, pull the trigger, it launches. One button closes the running game.

03

Wi-Fi check-up

The PC's network, the headset's Wi-Fi (band, signal, speed), a ping test and the recommended video bitrate, applied in one click.

04

Wireless ADB

Plug the headset in once and click Pair: SunQuest installs the headset app, keeps the headset awake and reads its Wi-Fi, with no cable.

05

Built-in ALVR settings

Frame rate, bitrate, codec, resolution, sound, microphone and per-game presets, without opening ALVR. The Windows firewall is opened for you.

06

PC screen in the headset

Double-press the left menu button: your Windows desktop appears in front of you, with the laser pointer as a mouse.

New · 0.1.0

Your network, under the microscope.

A smooth wireless image depends mostly on your network. The Wi-Fi tab tells you what's fine, what's wrong, and which video bitrate to use.

The PC

Ethernet or Wi-Fi, network card speed. SunQuest warns you if your PC is on Wi-Fi: a cable to the router changes everything.

The headset

Network, 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz band, standard (Wi-Fi 5, 6, 6E, 7), signal in dBm and link speed, live.

Ping and firewall

A ping test to the headset (average, peaks, jitter, loss) and opening ALVR's ports in the Windows firewall.

Recommended bitrate

A score for your network, the tips to follow and the right video bitrate, applied in one click in the settings.

Full body

Your whole body, wireless.

LunaQuest's FBE modes are in SunQuest too: virtual trackers for your body, or your real trackers, with a live 3D preview of every device.

FBE Only

Your whole body estimated by the Quest's cameras: chest, hips, elbows, knees and feet. No trackers to buy.

FBT

Only your real trackers (Vive, Tundra…) and your base stations, 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. In FBT, they turn on by themselves when you connect.

Preview

An app in the sun.

SunQuest Connection screen

Connection: the PC's network, the headset, its Wi-Fi, ALVR and SteamVR live, the big Connect button, the options and the log.

Performance

Smooth without wires, if your network keeps up.

SunQuest uses your graphics card's video encoder, like LunaQuest. Wireless, what matters most is your network: the Wi-Fi tab tells you where you stand.

90Hz

To start with, 120 Hz with a good PC and good Wi-Fi.

200Mbit/s

Recommended bitrate on Wi-Fi 6, right next to the router.

0cable

Once the headset app is installed.

Recommended bitrate by headset link

Link of 1,100 Mbit/s or more (Wi-Fi 6, same room)200 Mbit/s
Link of 550 to 1,100 Mbit/s120 to 150 Mbit/s
Link of 350 Mbit/s, or PC on Wi-Fi80 Mbit/s

These are the values SunQuest's Wi-Fi tab recommends. They change with your router, walls and other devices.

Current version0.1.0

The first version of SunQuest

SunQuest works, but it's still being polished: your feedback helps improve it.

  • Wireless: the headset announces itself on your network and SteamVR starts on its own when you open the app. ALVR switches to UDP, the Wi-Fi mode.
  • Library in the headset: your VR games with their cover art, launched with the laser pointer, and a button to close the running game.
  • Wi-Fi tab: PC network, headset Wi-Fi, ping, firewall and recommended bitrate in one click.
  • Wireless ADB: just one trip through the cable to install SunQuest Client, the headset app in sun colors.
  • From LunaQuest: FBE, base stations, in-headset performance, PC screen, recording, languages and themes, start with Windows.
  • With LunaQuest: both install side by side, each with its own settings. When you switch from one to the other, SteamVR restarts once.
  • Windows warning: the installer isn't signed yet. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click "More info" then "Run anyway".

    A question? We'll help.

    Do I need Virtual Desktop or the Meta app?

    No. SunQuest goes through ALVR and SteamVR, both free. Neither Virtual Desktop nor the Meta PC app is needed.

    What network do I need?

    The PC plugged into your router over Ethernet, and the headset on 5 GHz Wi-Fi (ideally Wi-Fi 6 or 6E), in the same room as the router if possible. The Wi-Fi tab checks everything.

    My connection isn't good, what can I do?

    Use LunaQuest: the same app, but the image goes through a USB cable instead of Wi-Fi. Both install side by side.

    The headset is never found.

    Check that the PC and the headset are on the same network (not the router's guest Wi-Fi), that the firewall is open (Wi-Fi tab) and that SunQuest is running on the PC. Otherwise, type the headset's IP address in ALVR settings.

    The image stutters or gets blocky.

    Open the Wi-Fi tab: PC on Ethernet, headset on 5 GHz, then apply the recommended bitrate. Stop downloads while you play.

    How do I get the app in English?

    Open Settings (the gear icon at the bottom left), choose English, and let SunQuest restart.
