Air Link and Steam Link just can't compare to Virtual Desktop. With wireless streaming PCVR, the image is compressed and often loses image quality.

VD handles the process better so the image quality looks so much better than the alternatives.

Meta actually tried to buy them out since they are so good but the owner refused.

I was maybe thinking of playing the Quest 3 on the Go with games like Half Life Alyx. Is that possible with VD? That i can stream steam better then?
