StereoLift Live: your desktop in real 3D, live on your Quest
For when you need to convert PC desktop to 3D on Meta Quest.
Stream your Windows or Linux PC desktop to a Meta Quest headset in stereoscopic 3D using your local network and NVIDIA GPU.
What it does
2D desktop control
Allows responsive desktop interaction like clicking, scrolling, and typing in headset.
“Point, click, scroll, and type with responsive desktop control in your headset.”
Live 3D depth conversion
Converts screen imagery into two distinct stereoscopic full-colour views.
“AI on your NVIDIA GPU estimates how near or far everything in the frame appears.”
Local network streaming
Streams the PC desktop to Meta Quest over your local network without uploading screen data.
“The server runs on your machine and streams across your own LAN.”
Virtual screen positioning
Enables moving, angling, and resizing the desktop display in virtual space.
“Move, resize, and angle the virtual screen using tracked input in the headset.”
Diagnostics support bundle
Helps troubleshoot technical issues by generating diagnostic logs for support.
“With the desktop app running, open its tray menu and select Diagnostics → Save Support Bundle, then confirm.”
What StereoLift Live doesn't do
- It doesn't support non-NVIDIA GPUs for live depth conversion.
- It doesn't provide delay-free interaction while in 3D viewing mode.
- It doesn't export or save video files during desktop capture.
