    Virtual Reality
    RoboDK supports Virtual Reality (VR) to have a simulated experience of your RoboDK simulations.
    Select Connect→Connect VR Headset (Shift+V) to start the Virtual Reality experience.

    You’ll then see an additional window showing the VR view and the VR headset should automatically start
    displaying your RoboDK cell.
    Note: RoboDK should work with any VR headset supported by SteamVR. Tested devices include HTC VIVE,
    Oculus Rift S, HTC Cosmos, and Meta Quest 2 & 3.

    Tip: You can display objects with textures in RoboDK (for example, DAE files), however, textures are not
    saved with your RDK file. Some samples started using a script are available to show how to open your project.
    With compatibility for VR.

    Virtual Reality Actions


    RoboDK provides a default set of controller actions (controller bindings).
    • Teleport: Select the Up-arrow key of your right-hand controller.
    • Point: Slightly hold the trigger to see the pointer.
    • Trigger: Point the trigger to a robot and pull it to start the first program linked to that robot.
    Virtual Reality 2
    • Show/hide coordinate systems: Select the Down Arrow key of your right-hand controller to show or
    hide coordinate systems.
    • Grab and move your position: Hold the grab button of one controller (one at a time).
    • Grab an object or a robot: Make the coordinate systems visible and grab an object by triggering the
    grab action.
    • Grab and move your orientation: Hold the grab buttons of both controllers at the same time and
    rotate as if you were holding on to the station.
    The controller settings can be configured in the Controller bindings menu of SteamVR:
    1. Select Settings in SteamVR
    2. Select Controller
    3. Select Manage Controller Bindings
    4. Select RoboDK
    5. Select Custom

    Display Performance
    You may experience a low frame rate if you have a large or complex cell (for example, if you have a lot of
    objects or complex geometry). We recommend you follow one or more of the following steps if you are
    obtaining a low frame rate to improve it.
    It is recommended to use VR on stations with a frame rate of 40 FPS or higher. Follow the steps described in
    this section and the Display Performance section to improve your frame rate.
    Tip: Select the render time option in Tools→Options→Display to see the display performance settings.
    Furthermore, the following tips will help you improve the display performance of your RoboDK simulations
    when using VR:
    • Hide the headset workspace: Right click the Virtual Reality View and uncheck Show Headset
    Workspace. This will prevent rendering the main window.
    • Minimize the Virtual Reality View Window: this will prevent rendering the VR view and the
    performance of your graphics card will be better used for the VR headset.

    Virtual Reality Quality


    The following tips will help you improve the quality of the Virtual Reality experience:
    Virtual Reality 3
    You can increase the quality of your image by increasing the resolution per eye:
    1. Select Settings in SteamVR
    2. Select Video
    3. Select increase the Resolution per eye to 200%

    View Manager
    RoboDK includes an app to record and manage view positions. You can also move the view in VR to the view
    currently set in the main window.
    Note: You should make sure you have the AppLoader plug-in to loaded to see this app (select Tools→Plug-
    Ins→Load Plug-In).
    Tip: Once you have the AppLoader plugin loaded, select Tools→Apps List to display the Camera View app.
    Tip: The Camera View app may be useful for VR demonstrations or tradeshows. You can easily customize the
    behavior of this app by modifying the contents of the C:/RoboDK/App/ViewManager folder.

    Connecting a Meta Quest Headset
    The Meta Quest headsets do not use SteamVR by default, this section outlines the steps required to connect a
    Quest 2 or Quest 3 to SteamVR using Quest Link so you can use the Quest Headset with RoboDK.
    Quest Link is Meta’s solution to connecting your headset to a PC. This has the advantage of being easy to set
    up, free, and included with every headset. You can use a high-quality data + power USB-C cable to connect
    the headset to the PC or simply use Air Link for a wireless experience.
    1. Install the Oculus Desktop App and follow the instructions to connect your headset. You can find the
    Oculus Desktop App here: Setup Your Quest: Quest, Quest 2, Link, Rift S & Rift | Meta Quest | Meta
    Store.
    Note: To use Air Link, you must link your device to the Oculus Desktop App, this can be done by selecting
    Devices → Add a Headset and following the pairing instructions. This can only be done if both devices are
    connected to the same wireless network. A 5GHz router is highly recommended when using Air Link.
    2. Connect your headset to your PC with a supported USB-C cable, or follow the instructions below to
    enable Air Link:
    a. Navigate to the Quest Quick Settings Menu.

    b. In the top-right of the quick settings, select “Settings”.

    Virtual Reality 5
    c. Navigate to System Settings.

    d. Navigate to the Quest Link submenu.

    e. Enable Quest link by toggling the “Quest Link” option.

    Virtual Reality 6
    3. Launch Quest Link through the submenu or quick menu as shown below.

    4. In the Quest Link Menu, select the desktop tab to open your PC desktop.

    5. Locate and launch RoboDK. Open the station you would like to view in VR.

    Virtual Reality 7
    6. Finally, under “Connect” in the RoboDK toolbar, select “Connect VR Headset”.

    This will cause Quest Link to launch RoboDK through SteamVR, you can access the SteamVR menu by
    pressing the left-hand menu button and the Quest Link menu by pressing the right-hand menu button.

    Virtual Reality 8
    Tip: You can double tap the side of your headset at any time while in RoboDK to switch to passthrough mode.
    RoboDK will remain open in VR and still be visible when Quest Link is resumed.
