SteamVR Home SteamVR Home provides a virtual reality portal with interactive environments for SteamVR. It is included with the SteamVR application, but functions separately from the main runtime and dashboard menu. SteamVR Home uses the Source 2 engine and comes with a set of Workshop Tools for creating custom environments.

SteamVR Home was originally released as Destinations Destinations, a virtual reality environment viewer primarily intended for rendering photogrammetry captures. Almost all of the features of Destinations are available in SteamVR Home. The original Destinations application is no longer available on the Steam storefront.
