MinervaXR Cast · coming soon to Meta Quest

Cast your Meta Quest to a browser. Free. No login required.

MinervaXR Cast puts what a headset wearer sees into a browser on your computer. There is no account to make on the headset or on the computer, nothing to pay, and nothing to install on the computer — the Hub is a web page. MinervaXR Cast is coming soon to the Meta Horizon Store.

1, 2, 3, cast

1. Get MinervaXR Cast on the headset — free, and coming soon to the Meta Horizon Store.
2. Connect the headset to the same Wi-Fi as this computer.
3. Open MinervaXR Cast, and open the Hub in this computer’s browser. The headset appears there by itself — nothing to type, no account, no sign-in.

▶ Press Cast. The tile stays dark until the person wearing the headset accepts the screen-sharing message.

The full guide, with what to check when the picture does not appear, is How to cast a VR headset to a screen.

Good to know

• The wearer stays in control. The headset asks before a new screen is allowed, and the system asks what to share every time a cast starts. No application can skip that prompt, ours included.
• Same Wi-Fi. The headset appears in the Hub when both are on the same network.
• Internet on both. The browser Hub uses it to introduce the headset and the computer; the picture then goes straight from the headset to the browser, encrypted, peer to peer. It is not recorded or saved.
• Meta Quest in the browser. Minerva Pico headsets connect to the MinervaXR Hub desktop app.
• Running a room of headsets? Launching simulations, opening apps on every headset and watching all of them at once is the Minerva Hub — book a demo.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Casting a headset to a browser costs nothing, and there is no checkout anywhere in it. Teams that want the rest of the Hub can see the plans.

Do I need an account?

No — not on the headset and not on the computer. The browser gets its own private space the first time it opens the Hub and keeps it from then on.

Which headsets does it work with?

Meta Quest, through MinervaXR Cast, which is coming soon to the Meta Horizon Store. Minerva Pico headsets connect to the MinervaXR Hub desktop app.

Does the picture go through your servers?

No. Our server only helps the headset and the browser find each other; the picture travels between them, encrypted. Every hostname involved is on the Network & security page.
