VR-Glasses User’s Guide Tool for raising awareness and project design Translated from Norwegian to English by Kai-Uwe Eiselt, UiT –The Arctic University of Norway Learn how to set up the VR-glasses •Follow the instructions given by the glasses. A bief user’s guide follows here. •Confirm the floor level •For the model’s ground- /floor level to be the same as the user’s the floor level must be confirmed or changed. The virtual grid that appears must be at the floor level. If it needs to be changed, hold the one controller right at the floor. •To avoid walking into the furniture when wearing the glasses, a safty zone is set up in an open space. One has to stay inside that zone while looking at the images/model, thus choose an area large enough to move around in. 2 2 1 Put on the glasses and turn them on 2 Floor level 3 Room boundaries From model to VR-glasses 3 1 Revit-model 2 Metaaccount 5 Rendering 6 Add images 7 Open app in VR-glasses 8 View images in VR-glasses 4 Log into Meta-account on VR-glasses 3 App Meta-account STEPS •Project/draw desired situation(s) and content. •NB!
