AR glasses with Steam Deck: plan the complete setup.
Plan the video connection, charging adapter and software features for using display glasses with Steam Deck.
In this guide
Plan the display connection and charging together. Confirm the glasses’ video requirements and any adapter’s support for the complete handheld setup.
Begin with the supported connection
XREAL lists Steam Deck among the devices shown for One Pro and specifies a USB-C port with DisplayPort output. Use that as the beginning of your check, then confirm your exact model and accessories in the current documentation.
Keep the connection simple while identifying what each component does. Record the handheld, the glasses, the cable and any adapter you intend to add.
Follow video and power separately
| Connection | Question to resolve |
|---|---|
| Handheld to glasses | Does the cable carry the video signal required by the glasses? |
| Charger to adapter | Does the adapter support the power arrangement you need? |
| Adapter to glasses | Is video output explicitly supported on that port? |
| Dock or hub | Is its output compatible with the glasses or the documented adapter chain? |
Choose the features you will use
Decide whether you want a straightforward connected screen or additional spatial display functions. Check each feature independently, including any firmware or companion device requirements.
- Check the supported video connection.
- Plan how the handheld receives power.
- Confirm audio output and the controls you will use.
- Include cables and adapters in the total cost.
Common setup questions
Do I need a dock?
Start with the glasses manufacturer’s supported connection. Add a dock only when it serves a specific requirement and its output is documented as compatible.
Can I assume an adapter supports both charging and video?
No. Read the functions of each port and match them to the path you need. Confirm the exact adapter model, not just the shape of its connectors.
Verify the exact hardware and accessories before buying.
