Multiview#
Introduction#
Some projectors are able to display a stereoscopic view for multiple users, a feature often known as Multiview.
Example of an XCave multiview system
Configuration#
Sample configurations are shipped as Wall_DualViewpoint.vrx and Wall_TripleViewpoint.vrx.
The MiddleVR configuration for multi-view must follow the following rules:
-
One user node per user, with an index starting from 0:
User0,User1,User2, ... -
Each user must have one HeadNode and one HandNode, prefixed with the user's name:
User0.HeadNode,User0.HandNode, ... -
Every screens and cameras must be duplicated for each user. The names don't have to be prefixed by the user's name, but it helps clarify the setup.
Note: It is advised to first create the display system (3d nodes, screens, cameras etc) without a user prefix (like User0).
Once the display system is correctly setup, you can use the Duplicate feature
to clone the screens and cameras and add a user prefix
- Each user must have a wand, with an index corresponding to the user index:
Wand0,Wand1, ...
- Finally, make sure to give the corresponding 3D glasses and wand to the correct user, or a user might navigate another.
Interactions and navigations#
If the configuration is done following the rules above, each user will be able to interact and navigate independently with their wands.
Lock navigations#
By default, if User0 is navigating, all users are following him.
You can disable this by pressing Shift-L or by unchecking Lock Multi User Navigations on the MVRWand::MVR Navigation Wand Joystick:
Teleport a user to another user#
By pressing Shift-T all users will be teleported to the same position as User0.
