Setting up arivis Pro VR

Installing arivis Pro VR

Links to download the installer will be sent to you together with your license activation key when you purchase the software or request a demo. Once downloaded, simply double-click on the installer and follow the on-screen prompts. The installer will install the full software package. There is no need to install additional features as all features are installed by defaults and access to these is only limited by your license.

Note that when installing arivis Pro VR on systems with arivis Pro already installed, a prompt may appear concerning the installation of the Sentinel Runtime Drivers.

If this is the case, simply click OK and allow the installation to complete.

When the installation is complete you can start arivis Pro VR using the shortcut icon on your desktop. The software will automatically look for any available licenses and prompt you to enter your activation key if none is found. If this installation is an update from a previous version your license should be automatically detected. If this is a new installation of arivis Pro VR license activation will be required.

Using OpenXR

As of version 3.2 arivis VR can use OpenXR to communicate with any device that supports the standard. Most devices that support OpenXR will automatically set up a default OpenXR environment to allow software products to communicate with the Headset.

Meta headsets do not always use OpenXR by default, but since Meta is also supported outside of OpenXR the app can simply be configured to not use OpenXR. We can select the Meta Link runtime instead.
