Supported Platforms

Windows

Please first make sure that you have a Windows 10 PC which is compatible with the latest VR headsets (HMDs – head mounted displays) that allow the unique feeling of “Presence” in the virtual world. These high-end VR HMDs are coupled with hand motion controllers (type of joysticks that enable unique embodied cognition with the affordances of gesture and manipulation in the virtual environment).

Windows platform fully supports both Desktop 3D as well as VR mode for the applications built with MAGES SDK.

Note

Currently MAGES SDK for UE4 only supports VR mode, you will not be able to run the application without a VR headset.
