Some VR headsets such as Meta's Quest 2 come with a Virtual Desktop tool that lets you connect your computer to the headset and get virtual desktops. There's a client-side application (Meta Horizon Workrooms) and a desktop-side component. The desktop-side component exists for Windows and Mac, but not for Linux. That's what we want to build. The goal is to come up with a working prototype that is good enough for early adopters to play with and other developers to join the effort.
