Accel VR Community 2022 X5

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.

Accel VR Standard User Interface

Accel VR Pilot interface with the configuration side panel unfolded.

The viewport

image10.png : 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.

BulletB1.png The toolbar gives access to:

  • image13.png Activate/deactivate Accel VR Pilot connection to Accel VR Unit to run rendering.

  • image15.png Display a virtual reality scene from Pilot's point of view.

    • image16.png Display a scene in VR according to the operator's point of view.

    • Headless_NRM.png Hide a scene in the View. This feature is useful for saving computer resources.

  • image1.png Give all the information to know the software: version number, user manual, license change, version changes, and license contract.
