iRacing to be playable on Apple Vision Pro

iRacing will soon be playable on Apple’s Vision Pro headset, with support set to be added “later this spring.”

According to iRacing, the headset’s foveated streaming will “render the sharpest content in the driver’s direct line of sight,” delivering “a uniquely immersive sim racing experience” by “seamlessly blending your racing rig with the virtual cockpit.” When using the headset, iRacing players will see their physical hands on the wheel in a mixed reality experience.

To achieve this, iRacing has integrated Nvidia’s CloudXR streaming technology. This enables physics calculations and high-fidelity graphics to be rendered on a PC equipped with NVIDIA’s RTX GPU. Frames are then encoded and shared wirelessly to iRacing Connect on visinoOS via Wi-Fi.
