VR on a Mac?

Our developers all use MacBooks...

and don't want to switch to 

Windows in order to develop VR.

HTC Vive on a Mac

GPU BOX

Develop VR on Mac!?

Play VR on Mac!?

Challenge #1: 

GPU BOX won't turn on.

Needs to be connected 

to Mac with USB Type-C.

Challenge #2:

Need MacBooks with 

USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3

Our developers can't use their 

existing MacBooks.  

Need to buy newest Mac models to

develop VR...

Challenge #3:

Not detecting GPU.

Need to upgrade to

Mac OS High Sierra beta

Challenge #4:

Steam VR / HTC Vive Setup

Challenge #5:

SteamVR apps only run on Windows!

Currently there is nothing on 

SteamVR that is compiled for Mac.

So the Mac is 

only for developing VR, 

not for playing VR.

Challenge #6:

Unity on Mac won't support VR

Need to download 

Unity Experimental Build
