Hardware Requirements

PC Specifications

• Minimum system requirements for the North Star headset are found on the Project Northstar Documentation Website. I used a Macbook Pro 16,1 with an i9 CPU, AMD 5500M GPU, running Windows 11 in Bootcamp with custom Radeon drivers, and a custom CPU thermal throttling profile.
• A DisplayPort connection that can output 4k@60Hz for the headset.
• A USB (A) 3.2 Gen 2 connection (10Gb/s) for the headset
• A USB port for the audio interface
• An HDMI port for the projector
