Visiofy works seamlessly with Meta Quest headsets (the best VR headset for architecture, according to us) and offers an impressive way to showcase models to clients. To avoid unnecessary hassle, we recommend preparing everything properly in advance. Below are clear step-by-step instructions to help you get started and ensure the presentation runs smoothly.
When using Visiofy with VR headsets for the first time, Meta will guide you through the basics. Make sure to reserve enough time for setup so everything is ready before the client arrives—it makes the experience look much more professional. We highly recommend going through all of Meta’s initial tutorials to make later use easier.
Here’s how to get started:
Turn on the VR headset and connect it to Wi-Fi (you’ll see the signal strength in the bottom bar next to the avatar)
Open the Browser from the menu
Go to visiofy.com
Log in
Select the model you want to present and click Open
Click ENTER VR
If a boundary appears, confirm it. If not, click Create new boundary and follow the instructions
Click ENTER VR again
Now the model is ready for the client to explore.
It’s highly recommended to mirror the VR headset’s view to a computer screen. This way, you can follow the client’s movements and guide them if needed. Others present in the room can also follow along with the experience.
On your computer, go to oculus.com/casting
Log in with your email
Retrieve the 6-digit code sent by Meta to your email and enter it
Make sure both the computer and VR headset are connected to the same Wi-Fi network
Open quick settings on the VR headset
Select Cast from the top right → choose Network
Now you’ll see the client’s VR view on your computer screen and can guide them easily.
Show the client how to move around by pointing the controller and pressing the trigger (check separate instructions if needed for using the controllers)
In smaller spaces, it’s best to walk physicallyPress the Meta button to return to quick settings
When the VR presentation runs smoothly, the client can focus on what matters—the model itself. In my experience, having everything ready and the mirroring set up makes the process very smooth. And best of all, the client usually walks away genuinely impressed.
Oh, and if something doesn’t work or you have questions, just drop a line or give us a call—we’ll get you sorted.
