IF you have a full speed wireless AC, AX or Wifi6 connection direct connection to the wifi router your PC is connected to (by cable) then this is really a compelling experience, technically there is a little more latency, but it's really very good - I've played full on shoot bang video games with it! Although I haven't tested it with enscape actually. Virtual desktop is an app that allows you to stream your entire PC into your Oculus Quest, but more importantly and interesting it allows you to stream it all wirelessly and software will see a headset connected as if it is physically connected. But as 3.1 is still in preview, I can't blame it for that. I did have problems when I was using Enscape 3.1, it would just flash "connect HMD" OR I would get the image on the laptop, but not in the headset itself. Start enscape and click the VR headset button - you could get a square view of what the headset is seeing on your PC and the VR view of the world in the headset itself. I can tell this has happened because my PC fans kick in big time! You need to oculus software installed and for the headset itself to be in Oculus Link mode - you'll get an entirely different interface on the quest as your PC starts rendering the normal oculus menus. I just got an oculus quest 2 and got it working with just a regular USB 3.0 connector (make sure to run the device speed test in the oculus software, I was able to run it ok even with a crappy cable that delivered only 320mbps) If budget would allow, you can of course go for something like a RTX 2060 or 2070, even a RTX 2080 to be VR and futureproof. If the project(s) are on the large scale though, we rather recommend a gaming laptop or generally a laptop with at least a GTX 1070.


We haven't tested this combination ourselves, so definitely also make sure that the Surface Books you're acquiring are meeting our system requirements - I'm pretty sure that with a mobile GTX 1060 Enscape VR should be possible as mentioned but on lower quality settings. If you go for the models which have a dedicated GPU included, it may work but I don't think that the performance will be great - you should be able to run Enscape VR in Draft or Medium quality, but for a fluent experience with higher quality we'd recommend something like a gaming laptop. We are using Microsoft Surface Book 2 and 3 and are wondering if the dedicated cable will make Oculus Quest work with Enscape in a mobile setup, so we can take it to our clients?
