## Useful for

- Run a Quest APK you own in the emulator and view it in a PC VR headset
- Test an OpenXR app on Windows without an actual Quest headset
- Build the viewer and host bridge to stream emulator frames into SteamVR

## Why it’s here

- 24 stars so far today, about 32 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 84 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #177.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
