Share the headset feed live in a Chrome tab, capture sessions to MP4 — or take over the controls and use VR without having to wear the headset. Same tool, same tab.
Cast it. Use it. Record it. From any Chrome tab.
Cast isn't just a screen mirror. Pair the existing Quest, PICO, or Galaxy XR controllers, drag the in-game camera around in 6 DoF, and actually use the VR content from the browser — while the headset itself sits powered on, off your face.
Cast does both: a frictionless screen mirror for everyone to follow along, and a full remote console with controller pairing and 6 DoF camera drag — so VR apps run on a normal screen, while the headset stays sitting on the desk.
Mirror the headset feed to any browser. Trade-show booths, training sessions, parents watching kids — anyone with a tab can see what's happening live.
Finally, a way to use VR without putting the headset on. PortalVR Cast pairs with the existing Quest, PICO, or Galaxy XR controllers so you can grab, point, and aim normally — and adds camera drag for moving the in-game view in 6 DoF, all from the Chrome tab.
Cast runs entirely in your browser — no ADB, no drivers, no app to install. The headset stays where it is; the browser does the rest.
Headset on for the experience, headset off for everything else — demos, dev work, bug reports, group play, marketing capture. Cast is the layer between.
Launch a VR app and hand the controllers to someone at a laptop. Camera drag lets them move the view in 6 DoF; full controller input means they're not just watching — they're playing. Parents can follow kids, friends can take turns, and people who can't tolerate a head-mount get the same experience.
Real-device testing usually means putting the headset on, aligning controllers, running a build, taking it off, fixing something, doing it all again. Cast turns that into a desk workflow — camera drag for 6 DoF navigation, controller input for interaction, and a tab that never disconnects.
A demo machine becomes any Chrome machine. No ADB, no IT ticket, no proprietary mirroring app. Plug in the headset, open a browser, the experience is live on the projector. Works offline too — trade-show floors and client sites with bad WiFi aren't a problem.
A recording button captures the headset feed with audio straight to an MP4 file — no OBS, no screen recorder, no extra software. Camera drag lets you frame cinematic shots from the browser instead of steering by stick. Great for QA bug reports, marketing clips, and archiving live sessions.

No signup, no install, no payment up front. Connect a Quest, PICO, or Galaxy XR in developer mode, open Chrome, and you're casting — and, if you want, using VR without wearing the headset — in under a minute.
Yes — that's the part most people don't realize Cast does. Beyond mirroring, the browser becomes a full remote console for the headset. You can launch a VR app, send button and stick input on the controllers, and steer the in-game camera in six degrees of freedom (pan, pitch, walk) using camera drag. The headset itself stays sitting on the desk, powered on but unworn.
It's a great fit for parents watching kids, people who can't wear a head-mount, group play where everyone takes turns, and devs who want to iterate on builds without putting the headset on every time.
