Contacts and Sharing

To Share VR Experiences with others through SimLab VR Viewer you need to first add them as contacts.

In the Add Contact Dialogue, Type the email address of the user you want to add as a contact to your list, then click on the Add button.

Note : You can add multiple contacts at the same time by separating their email addresses with a "comma" in the email field.

Added Contacts will be displayed in the Contacts list as email addresses if they do not have an active SimLab Account.

Once they activate their account, their names will be displayed instead of email addresses.

Note : An email will automatically be sent to the contacts you add, inviting them to activate their SimLab Cloud Account in case they do not have an existing account.

 

 


 

Creating Groups

To Manage contacts more efficiently, you can assign them to groups in order to easily share VR Experiences with them.

Sharing VR Experiences

Now that you have learned how to add contacts and groups, you can now Share VR experiences with other users.

From The Share Dialog, you can either select to share the VR experience with users from the contacts list, or share it with groups by switching to the groups and selecting a group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ShareBack

The ShareBack option, when enabled, allows the user that you shared the VR experience with to send back the VR experience to you with any modifications or notes that have implemented to the VR Experience.

The Shared back VR Experience will appear to you as an additional version of the VR Experience and it wont affect the original Shared VR Experience.
