Phase 01 — Virtual display
A single floating screen
Your Windows desktop as one floating screen at full resolution and full fidelity, in a spatial window you can place anywhere in the room.
✦Windows host shipping today · visionOS client in development
Your Windows PC, floating in your space.
Your Windows PC has the games and apps; Vision Pro has the screen. Remio pairs a free Windows host — shipping today — with a native visionOS client that's in development. Install the host now and your PC is ready the day the headset build arrives.
✦The pairing
Why Vision Pro + Windows is an odd couple worth pairing
Vision Pro doesn't run Windows software, and a Windows PC has no headset. But the PC has the raw GPU and the library — and the headset has a screen the size of a wall. Remio connects the two: the PC does the work, the headset shows a flat Windows desktop inside a spatial window.
✦The visionOS client
What the native visionOS client gives you
The client is 100% native — same Apple frameworks visionOS uses for its own apps, same engine that already ships on iPad and Mac, targeting visionOS 2.0 or later. It's being built step by step.
Phase 02 — Multi-display
Multiple spatial windows
One spatial window per host monitor, arranged around you in 3D space — the spatial multi-monitor workspace, planned next.
Phase 03 — Gesture control
Richer gesture input
Beyond look-and-pinch — natural hand gestures to scroll, resize, and interact with the remote desktop.
Phase 04 — Spatial UI
Spatial UI elements
Toolbars beside you, notifications in your peripheral vision — the remote desktop becoming truly three-dimensional.
Honest status
The iPad app runs on Vision Pro today; native is next
There is no native visionOS app yet — it's in active development, phase 01 first. The Windows host, though, ships today and already streams to Remio's iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and Windows clients. Join the waitlist for the native build.
✦The Windows side
The Windows side ships today.
The free Windows host runs on Windows 10 (build 19041+) and Windows 11 — Home editions included, no Pro upgrade, no RDP. The host GPU encodes the stream in hardware — H.265, H.264, or AV1 on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. Pairing is a 4-digit one-time PIN valid for 60 seconds, and every session is end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM over an ECDHE-Curve25519 key exchange.
Install it now — your PC is ready the day the headset build arrives.
The same host powers remote desktop on Windows 11 Home, cloud gaming, 3D & CAD, and a six-screen trading desk in every use case. Connectivity model: how it works. Security: the details.
✦Games, honestly
Games, honestly
PC games stream to Vision Pro as flat-screen streaming — that's the design. On the shipping iPad and Mac clients the same engine measures 144 fps in competitive shooters at 1440p and 60 to 90 fps in 4K HDR AAA titles, ceiling 4K at 120 fps.
Flat, not VR
Your games render flat — VR titles don't stream as VR. There is no SteamVR pass-through and no immersive-title streaming, and Remio doesn't claim otherwise. Flat-screen streaming is the whole, honest pitch.
On a 100-inch screen
That desktop lands on a giant virtual screen — the 100-inch-class display the Vision Pro page describes. Cinema-sized, in practice limited by where you place it.
GPU-encoded in hardware
H.265, H.264, or AV1 on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs — the encode never touches the CPU, so frame rates stay high.
Low-latency ceiling
A ceiling of 4K at 120 fps, with the measured frame rates above verified on shipping clients. The Vision Pro client rides the same engine.
✦Setup in five minutes
Set it up in five minutes
Install the host today; join the waitlist for the headset client. The PC side is done in five minutes.
1 · Install the host
Run the Remio host on Windows 10 (build 19041+) or 11, Home included. Accept the one-time Defender Firewall prompt. No Microsoft account, no Pro, no registry edits.
2 · Join the waitlist
The native visionOS client is in development. Join the waitlist on the Vision Pro page for early access.
3 · Pair with a PIN
The host shows a 4-digit one-time PIN, valid 60 seconds. Keys exchange over ECDHE-Curve25519 and the devices remember each other.
4 · Connect
Select the PC in the device list. The full Windows desktop appears — audio in sync, multi-monitor, end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM.
✦vs a desk of monitors
Vision Pro vs a desk full of monitors
A six-screen trading desk that fits in a bag. When multi-display lands in phase 02, each host monitor becomes its own spatial window — arrange them in an arc, stack them, or anchor them to a wall. No wall of panels to rent or ship.
✦Questions
Common questions about Windows on Vision Pro
Is there a native Vision Pro app?
Not yet — the native visionOS client is in active development. Phase 01, virtual display, is the first milestone, and early access opens through the waitlist on the Vision Pro page. The client is 100% native — built with the same Apple frameworks visionOS uses for its own apps, on the same engine that already ships on iPad and Mac — and it targets visionOS 2.0 or later. What you can install today is the free Windows host, so your PC is ready the day the headset build arrives.
Can I play PC games on Vision Pro with this?
As flat-screen streaming, yes — that is the design. The host GPU encodes the stream in hardware (H.265, H.264, or AV1 on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel), and on the shipping iPad and Mac clients the same engine measures 144 fps in competitive shooters at 1440p and 60 to 90 fps in 4K HDR AAA titles, with a ceiling of 4K at 120 fps. On Vision Pro that desktop lands on a giant virtual screen — the 100-inch-class display the Vision Pro page describes. What it is not: VR streaming. VR titles do not stream as VR — there is no SteamVR or stereoscopic pass-through. Your games render flat, exactly as they do on a monitor.
Do I need a Microsoft account or Windows Pro?
No to both. The Remio host is its own native app, so it runs on Windows 10 (build 19041 and later) and Windows 11 — Home editions included — with no Pro upgrade and no RDP involved. And Remio requires no account of any kind: no Microsoft account, no email, no password. Devices pair with a 4-digit one-time PIN shown on the host, valid for a 60-second window, and session keys are negotiated directly between your devices.
How big can the screen get?
The Vision Pro page states the target plainly: your desktop as a single floating screen at full resolution, in a spatial window you can place anywhere in the room — and its gaming use case puts PC games on a 100-inch virtual screen. Cinema-sized, in practice, limited by where you put it rather than by a panel. Multiple spatial windows — one per host monitor — are phase 02 of the visionOS roadmap.
Is it free?
Completely free — every feature, on every platform. Unattended access, multi-monitor, audio, Wake-on-LAN, 4K streaming, and end-to-end encryption all ship in the one build everyone gets. Nothing is held back, nothing expires, and there is no card to enter — true for the Windows host today and for the visionOS client when it arrives.
Get your PC ready for the headset.
Install the free Windows host today — it streams to every Remio client now, and pairs the same way when the visionOS build arrives. Free, no account, no card.
