How to navigate a model in VR with Revizto
See how Revizto fits your workflow
Once your headset is connected, moving through a model in VR comes down to a few controls. This article explains how to start a session, how to move and teleport, how to check an object's properties, and how to reopen the controls screen.
Short answer: Run the Revizto viewer, choose a project with the mouse, and load your models. In the headset, use the joysticks to move, the trigger to teleport, and a double-click with the right trigger to see an object's properties. Press F1 at any time to open the navigation screen.
How do you start a VR session?
- With your headset connected and turned on, run the Revizto Oculus Viewer or Revizto Vive Viewer on your computer.
- Choose a project in the gallery, which mirrors your Revizto gallery. Only mouse clicking works on this screen.
- Select the models you want and load them using the mouse.
- When the project loads, an instruction screen shows what each button does. It has two or three tabs, depending on which controllers are connected. Use the mouse to switch between tabs, then close it on the computer screen.
- Pick up your controllers and look around in the headset.
You can open the navigation screen again at any time with the F1 key.
How do you move around with Meta Quest controllers?
The setup webinar demonstrates the following controls with Meta Quest 2 controllers.
You don't have to memorize this. The instruction screen appears when you start the application, and F1 brings it back.
Teleporting is one option, not the only one. Revizto's Help Center notes that you can walk anywhere in the model, so you can use whichever movement suits the space. In the webinar, Enrico Ferraro moves up to the next floor with the right joystick and continues the walkthrough from there.
How do you check an object's properties or create an issue?
Hide the menu first, since you need it out of the way to interact with objects. Then point at the object, and use the control for your device.
Issues are created with the person at the computer placing a stamp, which is covered in How to run a VR design review with Revizto.
Which controllers can you use?
Revizto's Help Center shows navigation diagrams for four options: the HTC Vive controller, the Meta/Oculus Touch controller, the Xbox controller, and a keyboard and mouse.
