The ViRTUE App
Starting ViRTUE
The following sections describe how to start ViRTUE with your VR headset. Follow the steps in the order given.
Preparation
General steps:
- Make sure all battery-powered hardware components are fully charged.
- Avoid rooms with direct sunlight and many reflective surfaces.
- Start the VR headset.
- Set up a virtual boundary (playspace). See Set up play space.
- Start the PC and log in to your user profile.
Optional steps:
If you are using a laptop:
- Connect the laptop power supply to the mains and plug it into the laptop.
If you are using a wired connection:
- Connect your VR headset and your PC with a USB 3.0 cable.
If you are using a dedicated Wi-Fi router for wireless transmission:
- Connect the Wi-Fi router to the mains and switch it on.
- Connect the Wi-Fi router and the PC with a network cable.
- Connect the VR headset to the Wi-Fi router’s wireless network.
Network cable in the correct port:
Do not plug the network cable into the WAN port (Internet), but into one of the regular network ports on the router.
Recommendation:
To ensure a reliable connection, connect the PC to the router with a LAN cable rather than over Wi-Fi. A wired connection offers better latency and signal stability than a wireless one.
