'Android XR Bridge' Tool Brings Quest Exclusives To PC VR
21 days ago by MyOpinion to c/virtualreality
Android XR Bridge (AXRB) is an experimental software runtime for Windows which allows you to run Android-based VR applications made for Meta Quest on your PC. It's notable in that it allows you to play Quest exclusives in 4K (per eye) and high frames per second using the full power of your gaming PC.
While early versions of the program yielded pretty terrible results, recent updates have enabled 4K per eye rendering at 120 FPS, as demonstrated in a recent social media post from AXRB's developer, which shows Pinball FX VR running at said specs.
So Lepton is in part built on Waydroid, which works fine for x86_64 or universal Android binaries. However, for arm64, we’d need a translation layer in the opposite direction from FEX. Some projects (libndk_translation, libhoudini) exist to do some of this, but nothing in a mature, cohesive package. And then, of course, you need the reverse engineered Meta/Quest libraries from the OP.
I should at least aid in porting as long as there isn't some arm assembly shenanigans being used (which seems unlikely).

I'm hoping Valve and the FOSS community also make Lepton work on x86 PCs so there is a Linux PC path for these games. Although hopefully most of these get official Steam ports.
