How to Use TOZO VIZO Z1 Series AR Glasses with SteamVR
1. Preparation
1.1 Graphics Compatibility Requirements
SteamVR can run on systems with either integrated graphics (iGPU) or a dedicated graphics card (dGPU), but it does not support legacy motherboard-integrated graphics solutions.
Note: Integrated graphics have limited hardware performance and are only suitable for lightweight VR content. For the best experience, a dedicated graphics card is recommended.
1.2 Required Cable
The following users will need an additional active DisplayPort-to-USB-C adapter cable with dual external USB power connections (as shown in the illustration):
- Desktop PCs with a dedicated graphics card that does not support USB-C video output.
- Desktop PCs without a dedicated graphics card, where the motherboard's USB-C port does not support DisplayPort Alt Mode (DP Alt Mode).
- Laptops whose USB-C port does not support DP Alt Mode, or laptops that only provide a DisplayPort output.
Note: If your laptop has neither a USB-C port nor a DisplayPort output, it cannot be used with SteamVR.
