Open a tour in a VR headset

A vr-tecture tour opens in the web browser of a standalone VR headset. There is no app to install and no account to create: the same link you send by email works in the headset.

Which headsets

• Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S and Pro with the built-in Meta Quest Browser. This is what most studios use.
• Other headsets whose browser supports WebXR, such as Pico headsets and Apple Vision Pro, can open tours the same way.
• On a computer, a PC VR headset works through a WebXR-capable browser such as Chrome or Edge.

The Enter VR button appears only when the browser can start VR. On phones and ordinary computers it is not shown.

Open a tour in the headset

1. Put on the headset and open the Browser app.
2. Open the tour link. The easiest ways: type the link in the address bar; or open your email or WhatsApp Web in the headset’s browser and select the link there; or bookmark it once for later visits.
3. Wait for the tour to load, then select Enter VR.
4. Allow the browser to use VR if it asks. You are now standing in the space at real scale.

In the headset

The page’s buttons cannot be seen inside VR, so the tour has its own menu: rooms, styles, client choices and, when available, the voice assistant. See Moving and the menu in VR.

A VR room in your office

• Clear a space of about 2 × 2 m and set the headset’s boundary; visitors mostly stand or turn and move by pointing.
• Most clients have never worn a headset: start them seated or standing still, and show the trigger first.
• Cast the headset to a TV or laptop so others can follow what the client sees. On Quest, use Cast in the quick settings.
• Keep sessions short, five to ten minutes, and take the headset off between rooms if the client feels uneasy.
• Clean the face cushion between visitors.

Not in the same room? Start a live session: you lead from a computer while your client walks in their own headset or phone.
