(URL at the bottom). You can use a Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz Wireless Game Controller with custom button/keyboard bindings easily set to be used with Winlator Input Controls. That means you can use CopperCube VR even without HDMI cable & without HDMI to USB capture device. (OTG  adapter may still be needed for 2.4 GHz keyboard or gamepad controller dongle.)

(no VR controller support)

- if you want something like head tracking when streaming from pc to smartphone you can use an air mouse with built-in gyroscope attached to your VR headset

- your CopperCube projects must run in fullscreen mode

- to enable stretch correction you must parent all your level geometry to a special vr_root node (check template for correct setup which also includes script commands to parent default CopperCube terrains to vr_root node which is not possible by default editor drag & drop otherwise)

=====================

Alternative wireless VR project streaming from PC to phone:

- instead of the HDMI + USB capture device method you can also stream your PC monitor content with the Sunshine (PC host program) & Moonlight (Android client app) combo -> succesfully tested with Wifi + USB Tethering connection
