Watch: Running Rec Room on Apple Vision Pro (via iVRy Driver for SteamVR)

Like life, the Metaverse finds a way. While the long-awaited, official Rec Room app for Vision Pro is still in development (the company's partnership was announced last June), here's a Rec Room streamer already unofficially exploring the virtual world with Apple's HMD.

This is possible, as "Grizzly" explains, via the iVRy Driver for SteamVR, an app which enables you to run an application from iPhone and other devices as a VR headset application from your PC — and to run Steam VR on Vision Pro. And thus, run Rec Room on Apple's headset. Watch above!

As Grizzly notes, hand-tracking is a bit kludgy, but otherwise, looks like it runs pretty well — maybe not well enough to play most live action Rec Room games, but at least decent enough for basic exploring/social interaction.

This is hardly the first instance of a metaverse platform running on Vision Pro (see below), which suggests a strong desire by VR enthusiasts to connect Apple's headset to various multi-user, avatar-driven virtual worlds. (Notwithstanding Apple's Spatial Computing, non-avatar Persona model.)
