Helpful Tips for Collaborating
Hardware Logistics
- Connect to a stable internet source. Wifi hot spots can work but are not as reliable. If your company has a firewall, please review our notes here.
- Any signed-in user attending a meeting (non-guest) will have their Avatar username pulled directly from the "Preferred Name" section, found under Personal Settings in the Account Management Portal.
- Get the best audio, different headsets have different audio setups.
- If using an Oculus Rift, verify that your volume is turned up and that you can hear through the headphones, not the computer speakers.
- If using an HTC Vive, make sure you have headphones plugged in so you’ll be able to hear the other participants. If using the Vive Pro, you'll be able to use the built-in headphones.
- If using an Oculus Quest, make sure to check your settings to verify that your mic is enabled and your volume is set to the appropriate level.
- If you need to join without a headset, review this article for specifics.
Participating
- It's a Shared Environment: All participants will be able to see all the changes and markups made by other collaborators, including Sun Settings, Display Settings, Layers, Flagged Elements, etc. The only tool not visible to all participants are any measurements you take with the Measuring Tape.
- Listen, Speak and Collaborate: Participants can communicate with each other through their headsets. Oculus Rift users can use the built-in headset and microphone, while HTC Vive users can use the built-in microphone but will need to plug in headphones (unless using the HTC Vive Pro).
- Mute Audio: The VR meeting host will have the capability to mute all the participants at any time during the VR meeting. If you are muted by the host, your screen will show a notification. You will also have the ability to mute yourself during a session.
- Never Get Lost: At any moment during the collaborative VR meeting, the host will be able to gather all the participants around a specific point.
