Huge Screen VR is an app for media and video from Huge Screen VR. It adds HDMI input to Meta Quest headsets through an external USB video capture card, so you can view a PlayStation, Xbox, Switch or PC on a large virtual screen inside the headset. It is distributed through SideQuest, where it was first listed in July 2022.
What you can do
Connect a capture card to the Quest, plug your console or PC into the card, and the app shows the video feed, with sound, on a big screen in VR. The developer pitches the setup as a compact, private external monitor that is handy for travel, and claims high resolution with no lag.
A capture card is required; the app does nothing without one. It works with cards that output one of these formats:
- MJPEG
- NV12
- RGBX
- YUY2
- P010
The listing links to several capture cards the developer has tested and to a video playlist showing the app in use. The developer also notes that the app does not ask for extra permissions.
Comfort
The listing marks the app as usable seated, which suits playing console or PC games on a virtual screen.
