The Oculus Go can cast your virtual reality experience straight to your mobile device. It’s a unique way to let friends and family see what you’re doing inside the Oculus Go, right on your phone.
But consider this:
Will your friends and family really want to crowd around a tiny phone to watch all your VR adventures?
Of course not. You need a bigger screen. It’s not possible to natively cast your Oculus Go display anywhere other than to a mobile device with the Oculus app.
Unless you use Reflector.
What’s Reflector?
Reflector is a simple app for your Mac or Windows computer that enables your devices to wirelessly mirror their screens to your computer. It takes VR casting and mobile gameplay to a whole new level. You can buy it here.
