About this app

Wirelessly connect your Windows PC to your Android XR headset to transform it into a massive, private display that you can take anywhere. Experience a level of focus and immersion for work or play that’s impossible on a laptop screen.

PC Connect (Beta) requires a companion app downloaded on your computer. To download, visit https://goo.gle/get-pc-connect

Companion app is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows 10+ devices. For best results, PCs with a Nvidia 30 series GPU or newer are recommended. Requires both devices connected to the same local network. Performance depends on local network conditions and device proximity.

Ratings and reviews

Bridging the mouse and keyboard input from the PC is a game changer for the whole device. It makes using all of the other apps better, I would be happy if PC Connect just gave that functionality without the video streaming. And the remote desktop aspect works pretty well. Again with this input bridging, I like that I can use my PC in one window and still use ChromeXR and YouTubeXR in other windows. But seriously, I ended up opening PC Connect just to use the keyboard to write this review.

Largely an unusable mess. The mouse cursor in XR mode is impossible to find. Pinch to touch results in random clicking on the PC whenever I'm trying to type, making it downright impossible to use. Exiting the app causes the streamer to glitch out and continue running on the PC, requiring you kill the process. No dual monitor support. This is *the* killer feature for Android XR. Please keep working on it and polishing it. Android XR needs a Mac Virtual Display competitor to stay relevant.
