    this is NOT anything like virtual desktop. virtual desktop does offer a personal desktop stream to your headset, but primarily it is used for, along with vridge and alvr, for playing PC VR games wirelessly on your Oculus Quest headset. Bigscreen is a desktop sharing app that allows you to create a virtual room and share your desktop with multiple friends. the only thing they have in common is that they both involve the oculus quest
