> Monado is an open source XR runtime delivering immersive experiences such as VR and AR on mobile, PC/desktop, and other devices. Monado aims to be a complete and conformant implementation of the OpenXR API made by Khronos. The project is currently being developed for GNU/Linux and aims to support other operating systems such as Windows in the near future.
|
|
|
|
Essentially, Monado is an open source OpenXR implementation, it can be used as an alternative to SteamVR.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the game, Monado can offer a better overall experience (if with less features) compared to SteamVR, or it might not work at all.
|
|
|
|
Monado should always be utilized with the environment variable `XRT_COMPOSITOR_COMPUTE=1` to avoid stuttering when application is below maximum refresh rate of the HMD.
|
|
|
|
Check your logs and ensure that the keywords REALTIME and COMPUTE vulkan queue has been created as opposed to MEDIUM and GRAPHICS queue types before opening issues about failing reprojection.
|
|
If your monado-service is unable to acquire these properties in the debug logs `sudo setcap 'cap_sys_nice=eip' <monado-service-binary>` to ensure it can request the priority it needs.
|
|
|
|
Monado's space may be modified with the environment variables OXR_TRACKING_ORIGIN_OFFSET_X=0.0, OXR_TRACKING_ORIGIN_OFFSET_Y=1.0, OXR_TRACKING_ORIGIN_OFFSET_Z=0.0 to force a defined space or origin offset throughout the session. Useful for seated mode configurations, offset units are floating point in meters, positive or negative.
|
|
|
|
Monado is made for PCVR headsets, if you have a standalone headset you can check out [WiVRn](/docs/fossvr/wivrn/) or [ALVR](/docs/steamvr/alvr/).

|
## Steam
|
|
|
|
To use Monado as the OpenXR runtime with Steam, or if you're planning to use the SteamVR lighthouse driver in Monado, make sure to [run the room setup first](/docs/steamvr/).
|
|
|
|
In order to use the SteamVR lighthouse driver in Monado, you just need to set the environment variable `STEAMVR_LH_ENABLE=true`.
