VIVE Business Streaming

Experience high-performance PC processing with ease

Make sure your VR-ready PC meets the necessary specs. Download, install, and connect to the VIVE Focus Vision, VIVE Focus 3, or VIVE XR Elite. It’s that simple.

A USB 3.0 port is recommended for the USB Cable, a DisplayPort is required for the VIVE Wired Streaming Kit, or an ethernet port is required to connect to an 802.11ac/ax router.

Optimization and features that deliver a smooth and secure VR experience

Performance settings

The VIVE Business Streaming software uses a two-way data stream to ensure efficient transmission with low latency. Get up to 3072 x 3072 pixels per eye with the new Ultra Mode to have a higher PC streaming visual quality.² The software also features three additional performance modes and an auto-streaming mode that adjusts for less than ideal PC and network conditions.

High resolution and refresh rate

A high standard resolution and refresh rate ensures the content will look sharp and detailed.

Foveated enhancement

Foveated enhancement is an always-on optimization feature that provides maximum visual fidelity at the center of the user’s visual field where details are most critical. To keep a balance between visual quality and latency, VIVE Business Streaming is engineered to keep things running smooth and sharp without content developer involvement.

Supports both major PC-VR content platforms

Tap into an extensive library

The SteamVR™ library includes titles for 3D design, remote collaboration, simulation training, and more.
