To view your KITS project in virtual reality, you will first need to download the Yulio Viewer app on your phone or headset. Your device will also need to be a current generation smartphone with one of 5 app app stores: Google Play Store, Apple App Store, Oculus Store, Gear VR Store, Google Daydream.
Most VR headsets will have dual lenses internally that splits the display from a phone screen between the viewers eyes to create 3D visuals. When looking for a VR headset to purchase for client meetings, keep in mind the following requirements:
- Look for a VR headset that does not need a connection to a PC or console. Wire-free headsets are best for travelling and wont interfere with the experience.
- Removable straps gives a light, comfortable fit. Sometimes its better to give your client the option of holding the device up rather than strapping it on.
- Larger lenses widen the field of view, making the VR experience more immersive.
- Make sure the headset is compatible with a variety of devices / smartphone models, especially the device you will be pairing it with.
