Virtual Reality

You can view your models using a Virtual Reality (VR) headset.

We recommend that you use PCVR, where the simulation runs inside the browser on your computer and the VR headset connects to your computer. You can use Meta Quest Link or Steam VR to connect your VR headset to your computer. The process is as follows:

  • Connect your headset to your computer, either via a cable or wirelessly.
  • Ensure that Meta Quest Link or Steam VR is running on your computer.
  • Launch Quest Link or Steam Link on your headset.
  • Click the VR button in the toolbar inside ProtoTwin.

Please note that the VR button will not be visible in the ProtoTwin toolbar if your browser doesn’t support WebXR.

Performance

Virtual Reality in ProtoTwin uses WebXR. WebXR does not yet support rendering from a worker thread. Unfortunately, this means that we must switch to rendering on the main thread when you enable VR in ProtoTwin. To ensure that a consistent frame rate is achieved it is necessary to use a machine equiped with a powerful graphics card (GPU). We recommend using an NVIDIA RTX 3080 or better.

Interaction

ProtoTwin does not yet support interacting with the model or teleporting. We plan to add interaction and teleportation in the future.
