Adding the VR Experience to SimLab VR Viewer

 

Similar to the previous method of inviting users, you need to first add the VR experience to SimLab VR Viewer while logged in to your SimLab account. 

To create a VR Experience from SimLab VR Studio, go to the VR Viewer Menu and select "Export VR Package".

Once you have clicked the Collaboration Icon, the contacts selection list will appear where you can select the contacts or groups of contacts that you want to be part of the collaboration session, select the contacts and click "OK" to go to the collaboration Lobby, or you can skip this step to invite users solely through a link by clicking "OK" and not selecting any contacts.

Joining a VR Collaboration session through a link

 

Once the invitees click on the link you sent them, a webpage will open where they can launch SimLab VR Viewer and join the Collaboration session, or download SimLab Viewer viewer and install it in case they do not have it already.
