    Is this possible?

    We would love to ditch the Steam requirement, because it's rather silly in a corporate setting.

    Can anyone give me any pointers on how to do this, before we order new hardware to test?

    (Samsung Odyssey seems to generally be the best reviewed WindowsMR headset, so it would be a good HTC Vive replacement?)

    One suggestion: use the Windows Mixed Reality Portal (comes installed with current versions of Windows 10) in "developer mode".

    This allows you to use Windows MR without a headset connected or any other hardware; everything runs within the Portal's window kind of link an emulator. You can experiment with Windows MR APIs and prototype your game, to make sure it does what you want, before committing to purchasing hardware.
