What you need
Motion runs on hardware you probably already own. Easiest of all: just your phone — now a fully tracked 6DoF controller. Prefer Joy-Cons or VR controllers? Those work too.
Good Dual handed
Your webcam tracks the Joy-Cons or PSMove controllers — and your hands — in 6 DoF, so full finger articulation comes through. No base stations, no headset.
Best Highest precision
Use a VR headset's native tracked controllers as the tracking source — Quest or PICO over USB, or paired Index controllers or Vive wands.
Fully tracked
Your phone tracks itself in full 6DoF and becomes the controller — held in a grip, with a trigger, grip, and buttons on the screen. Android or iOS.
The library · 6,000+ titles
From action and rhythm to creative tools and sketchpads — Motion plugs into SteamVR, so anything that runs there runs here. And community VR mods like UEVR add motion controls to flat hits like R.E.P.O., Halo 3, Lethal Company, and Deep Rock Galactic.

True 3D
Motion renders genuine stereoscopic depth — so the latest glasses-free 3D monitors and AR glasses show every SteamVR title in real, eye-popping 3D.
Glasses-free 3D monitor
Sit at a Samsung Odyssey 3D and get true stereoscopic depth right on the desk — eye-tracked, with no glasses and no headset.
AR glasses
Wear a pair of XREAL or VITURE AR glasses for a giant floating screen with full stereoscopic depth. Plug in over USB-C and play in 3D anywhere.
Agents · MCP
Motion ships an MCP server that puts a running VR app on the other end of a tool call. It speaks the same tool surface as Meta's XR Operator, so any MCP client can inspect the live session, move the head and hands, press the buttons, and look at what came back — no headset, and no human in the loop.

PortalVR Motion brings motion controls to VRChat and hundreds of titles on Steam, using your smartphone, Joy-Cons, PSMove, or VR controllers — no headset, no base stations. In VRChat on Desktop it goes further: your camera tracks your head, face, and hands and drives your avatar live. And with community VR mods like UEVR, popular flat games — R.E.P.O., Halo 3, Lethal Company, and many more — pick up motion controls too. Play at your desk on the screen you already have, or in true stereoscopic 3D on AR glasses or a 3D monitor.
Motion is a SteamVR add-on that lets you run any SteamVR content in 2D with motion controls. Cast takes a different angle — it streams VR content directly into the browser from a Quest, PICO, or Galaxy XR headset and lets you play in a similar way, but is limited to sideloaded or pushed APKs.
Motion registers as a SteamVR runtime, so any title that runs in SteamVR sees standard tracked controllers and launches normally. The catch is that some titles ask for extremely precise fast motion or sharp full-body movement (like spinning around to face an enemy behind you) — those can be awkward to translate onto a 2D screen. That said: we've managed to beat a few Hard levels in Beat Saber through Motion, so it's not too bad.
Yes — through community-made VR mods. Mods like UEVR (for Unreal Engine games) and dedicated per-game mods (RepoXR for R.E.P.O., LCVR for Lethal Company, Halo MCC VR, and many more) add a full VR mode to games that shipped flat-screen only. Once the mod is installed, the game runs through SteamVR — where Motion provides the tracked motion controllers, no headset required. One-click installers for many popular mods are available at mrsurvivor-installers.com.
Browse our discover catalog — VR-moddable titles carry a VR Mod badge, with a per-title breakdown of which mod to use, how well it plays with motion controls, and where to get it. Over a hundred flat games with working VR mods are cataloged there, alongside the 6,000+ native SteamVR titles.
If your PC can already run a given SteamVR title, it can run it through Motion. Tracking happens on your phone (or your webcam) — your PC just sees tracked controllers.
For personal use, PortalVR Motion is on Steam — grab it on the Steam store page. There's no separate signup, updates install automatically, and Steam's standard refund window lets you try it risk-free. For commercial, OEM, or white-label use, see Commercial or email sales@portalvr.io.
Yes — any commercial use of Motion is licensed directly with us, with no off-the-shelf plan. That ranges from a few seats for testing, QA, and development (startups included) to white-labeling the engine under your own brand, running with zero SteamVR dependency on our standalone stack, or integrating our custom OpenXR runtime so your own VR app gets phone, Joy-Con, and VR-controller 6 DoF tracking.
