What are the minimum hardware requirements for running the LVA?
To enjoy a smooth Linde Virtual Academy experience, you’ll need a modern VR headset—ideally with wireless streaming—or a powerful PC setup. You don’t need cutting-edge gaming hardware, but older office equipment or slow networks will cause issues. Here’s what you need to know in 2025.
- Standalone VR Headsets (On-Device)
For maximum convenience, use a standalone headset—no cables or PC required.
- Compatible Devices: Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3s, Pico 4, Pico Neo 3, or any newer standalone VR headset.
- Wi-Fi:
- Minimum: 10 Mbps stable (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi)
- Recommended: 20 Mbps+ and 5 GHz for fast downloads and smooth performance. If you want the fastest experience, a Wi-Fi 6/6E router is best.
- Free Storage: At least 10 GB (20 GB+ recommended if you use many trainings)
- App: Install the “LVA Training Hub” (from your headset store or provided by LVA support)
- Power: Charge your headset fully before starting a training session
Note: Internet is needed for installation, downloads, and updates—but not required during the actual training itself. For fastest downloads of large training files, a 100 Mbps+ internet connection is recommended.
- PC-Based VR (PCVR) – Modern Standard
If you want enhanced graphics and more immersive visuals, connect your VR headset to a PC and stream wirelessly. Wireless streaming is now the default and recommended standard—no tripping over cables! Wired connection (USB-C) is also available as a backup.
Recommended Devices
Headset: Meta Quest 3 or 3s (strongly recommended); also compatible: Quest 2, Pico 4, or other modern PCVR headsets
Preferred Streaming: Wireless using Virtual Desktop (recommended for stability and comfort) or Meta Quest Link Air.
Cable Backup: USB-C cable, minimum 5 meters (recommended: 10m+ for safe movement); use only high-quality, fast-charging data cables
