Guided by eye tracking, foveated streaming prioritizes image resolution and compression quality where your eye is currently looking. That&#8217;s the key feature of Clear XR.<\/p>\n<p>Clear XR should work for any OpenXR\u00a0application on your PC, and deliver superior image quality on the Vision Pro compared to using ALVR.<\/p>\n<p>Valve&#8217;s depiction of foveated streaming.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than implement foveated streaming completely from scratch, Clear XR&#8217;s developer <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/svrc?ref=uploadvr.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stuart Charlton<\/a> leveraged Nvidia&#8217;s CloudXR SDK, which has full support for Apple&#8217;s foveated streaming.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia&#8217;s CloudXR is also being used by the developers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uploadvr.com\/x-plane-iracing-coming-to-apple-vision-pro-via-nvidia-cloudxr\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X-Plane and iRacing<\/a> for specific per-game visionOS clients that also use foveated streaming. The advantage of those over Clear XR will be the ability to auto-align the cockpit to your physical peripherals and &#8220;cut them out&#8221; from the real world into VR via camera passthrough.<\/p>\n<p>The tradeoff of using CloudXR is that it exclusively supports Nvidia&#8217;s Ada and Blackwell GPU architectures, meaning RTX 40-series and 50-series graphics cards. The current PC I&#8217;m using this week has an RTX 3090, so unfortunately, I can&#8217;t test Clear XR at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"kg-bookmark-container\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uploadvr.com\/x-plane-iracing-coming-to-apple-vision-pro-via-nvidia-cloudxr\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>X-Plane &amp; iRacing Getting Official Apple Vision Pro Support Via PC VR Streaming<\/p>\n<p>X-Plane 12 and iRacing will be officially playable on Apple Vision Pro, streamed from your PC via Nvidia CloudXR, with your physical accessories blended in using mixed reality passthrough.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/iRacing-and-X-Plane-12-on-Apple-Vision-Pro-1.png\" alt=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display = 'none'\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you do have the required GPU and an Apple Vision Pro and want to try it, you can find the Clear XR visionOS client <a href=\"https:\/\/testflight.apple.com\/join\/ed6778fF?ref=uploadvr.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">on Apple&#8217;s TestFlight system<\/a>, and the Windows PC server app <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/svrc?ref=uploadvr.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">on GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Clear XR, available on TestFlight, lets Nvidia RTX 40 and 50 series owners use Apple Vision Pro&#8217;s foveated&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355756,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[85,46,125,340,341,342],"class_list":["post-355755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-virtual-reality","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-technology","tag-virtual-reality","tag-virtualreality","tag-vr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355755\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
