Vive does not work directly connected to a 2017 iMac (model iMac18,3), macOS 10.14.5 (Mojave) with Radeon Pro 580 graphicsĪlthough Vive Pro does work with direct connection. The original Vive basestation 1.0 models continue to work with Vive and Vive Pro on macOS. I obtained the new basestations under warranty replacement from HTC - when I asked for the older basestation 2.0 style they said it is not made anymore. The more recent version has Valve written on the back while the older version has SteamVR as shown in the picture (right). I believe the more recent version came out around March 2019. There are now two versions of Vive basestation 2 and the more recent version does not work with macOS 10.14 (Mojave). Tests were with ChimeraX VR using the same SteamVR macos_default version.

Tested with a 2017 iMac (model 18,3) with Radeon Pro 580 graphics, headset connected directly with no eGPU. Vive and Vive Pro headsets are both working with macOS 10.15 Catalina (official release). Valve (developer of SteamVR) officially dropped support for macOS in April 2020, although in 2019 in a tech support email from Valve they said Mac SteamVR was an unsupported beta - so it seems they never considered Mac supported. Remarkably Vive Pro is working with macOS 11.0 Big Sur beta 9.

Since 99% of VR use is on Windows, it is best to use Windows if possible. Since Valve is not maintaining SteamVR on macOS that will be the end of VR on Mac.

It would not be surprising if Mac SteamVR breaks in the next 6 months due to a Steam update or macOS update. This is a year old with no updates and no longer works with the Valve labeled basestation 2.0 (see Sept 30 comment below). The current SteamVR beta macos_default is version 1539100633, built at 08:57. Headset also works with eGPU and in addition works with an iMac with Radeon Pro 580 A specific beta version of SteamVR is neededĬalled macos_default, and there were no special setup problems.

Gave smooth rendering similar to Windows 10 using a Radeon Vega 56 external GPU. The HTC Vive headset worked on macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and Labs at UC San Francisco use Mac laptops for visualizing molecular structures. I investigated this VR setup because many research Here are details of using HTC Vive and Vive Pro virtual reality headsets with Mac laptopĬomputers and an external GPU (eGPU) and also iMac computers with and without eGPU.
