Microsoft has expanded its Windows 11 remote desktop feature to Meta’s Quest 3 and Quest 3S virtual reality (VR) headsets. This allows users to stream multiple high-resolution monitors directly to their VR devices, offering an immersive ultrawide mode that enhances the virtual desktop experience.
The virtual desktop feature was initially introduced on Quest headsets in preview in December 2024 and has now been expanded with Meta’s Horizon OS v81 update. Users can now not only enjoy multiple desktop displays but also transform their virtual desktop into a curved ultrawide display that fills their field of view.
By downloading the Mixed Reality Link on a Windows computer, Quest 3 and 3S users can pair their devices to interact with and view their desktop display from within their headsets. This feature enables users to either fully immerse themselves in the virtual desktop environment or utilize passthrough to maintain awareness of their surroundings.
Meta has also introduced additional enhancements, including the ability to rescale and resize displays across all apps, a Full Passthrough feature for quick environmental checks, and support for opening up to 12 apps simultaneously.
