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).
