VRidge has very performant streaming technology but it still relies on the final hardware that it’s being used with. In normal conditions, the latency should be in the ballpark of 50ms. For certain types of movement, like head rotations the latency might be much lower due to the use of prediction algorithms and reprojection techniques.

RiftCat Client installation First of all, you have to get the RiftCat client on your desktop PC. You can get it on Steam. 2. Connecting VRidge with RiftCat After successful installation launch RiftCat client. Download VRidge version appropiate for your mobile device (Android / iOS phone, Oculus Quest etc). Next select connection type. WiFi provides better experience, however it might be unstable and cause artifacts or lags. It’s recommended to use 5GHz WiFi and make sure your Phone is connected to the same local WiFi network as your PC. USB Tethering is the most stable and if you want to use this type of connection just enable USB tethering on your phone. It’s recommended to disable Mobile Data as your PC might start to use your Mobile Internet. USB tethering can be enabled in your phone’s settings - Network & Internet - Hotspot & tethering. After selecting your connection type and starting the VRidge app on your Phone, RiftCat should detect your phone. Confirm the connection and now your Phone should be connected with RiftCat client. 3. SteamVR In order to play VR games, SteamVR is required. Click the "Play" button at the top of RiftCat client. If you don’t have Steam installed yet then you will be redirected to Steam webpage where you can download Steam client (Steam account is required).
