Viewing Immersive Virtuality Content

You can experience a human's viewpoint in an immersive manner using a HMD (Head-Mounted Display) device.

In a VR session, you can switch between two skillsets:

  • the Navigation skillset that lets you navigate through an environment
  • the Human Incarnation skillset that lets you capture a posture, to capture an animation, or to exit the human incarnation.

You must have the corresponding role to use the VR (virtual reality) mode in the app.

Before you begin: You must have a certified configuration with a high-end VR-compatible graphics card. Configure the HMD device as explained in 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps: Navigating a Virtual Environment Using HMD.
