Interface presentation
Accel VR Pilot is the command post used by the operator of a device (VR headset, CAVE, etc...). From Accel VR Pilot, the operator loads databases, adjusts system settings, chooses rendering options, establishes and manages connections, and handles the monitoring of the user in the immersive environment.
Standard interface
The interface of Accel VR consists of three distinct areas.
The viewport
: The viewport is the visualization space in which the content of the scene is represented.
This space acts as a remote control screen. A remote operator can thus manipulate the camera in this 3D scene without taking the place of the observer interacting with the main 1:1 scale visualization device.
Tip
Ctrl+Spacebar sets the center of interest in the scene where the mouse cursor is. The focus is automatically repositioned at the center of the viewport.
The configuration side panel
You will find in the configuration side panel, the toolbar and configuration tabs.
The toolbar gives access to:
Activate/deactivate Accel VR Pilot connection to Accel VR Unit to run rendering.
Display a virtual reality scene from Pilot's point of view.
Display a scene in VR according to the operator's point of view.
Hide a scene in the View. This feature is useful for saving computer resources.
Give all the information to know the software: version number, user manual, license change, version changes, and license contract.
to display the Advanced system settings.
Configuration tabs
: You will be able to import, open Digital Aspect Models (DAM) or layouts (KPL file format) and navigate among imported products.
