Tips for Success

Check your lighting

Too much overhead or natural lighting might interfere with the virtual reality experience.

Check your seated position

Sit directly in front of the keyboard for best results. Tilt the screen to a comfortable viewing angle.

zSpace Laptops: Keep a power cable close by

When you are enjoying virtual reality on zSpace, the laptop will need a recharge if you use for an extended period of time. Similar to a gaming laptop, a VR laptop requires extra power.

zCentral: Let's Get Started

Launch your application or activity using zCentral

Open zCentral on the zSpace Desktop. Use a launch code (see below) to open and experience zSpace Demo. Each application, activity, experience, and zSpace Studio model has it's own launch code.
