Using the regular mouse/keyboard, you can load or create your visualization as you normally would in ParaView. ParaView will start as usual with a window on the computer screen. Once installed, you can then run ParaView by double clicking on the executable. This will add a OpenVR specific panel to your user interface.īefore running this version of ParaView, make sure Steam VR is running. To use it you must first load it from the Tools -> Manage Plugins menu option. The OpenVR support is a plugin in ParaView. It is designed to run under a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows such as Windows 10. It is in source tree and is included in the windows binaries that you can obtain from here. In the past we required specific VR builds for ParaView but as of mid 2018 ParaView comes with support for VR built in. For all headsets you also need to download and install SteamVR as we use the OpenVR API as the interface. Once you have purchased a headset, make sure that it is installed per the manufacturer’s instructions and that it works with their demo software. Likewise, both vendors have tools to check if your current system is VR ready for the Vive or Oculus. Both vendors sell or recommend systems that are Vive-ready PCs or Oculus-ready PCs. Both the Rift and Vive suggest at least a GTX 970 class GPU, but the higher, the better. This means ParaView needs to render very quickly. If you want to go the Oculus Rift route, you can buy one directly from Oculus or from some retailers such as Best Buy.Ī good VR experience requires very high frame rates, typically 90 Hz per eye. You can purchase the Vive from Amazon or directly from HTC as of this writing, it runs about $500. Currently, ParaView’s support for the HTC Vive/Vive Pro is better, so if you are undecided, have your purchasing department buy that first. This includes the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Enhanced Reality headsets. ParaView will work with any headset supported by the OpenVR standard. ![]() ![]() In this post, we are going to talk about the Virtual Reality capabilities in ParaView with support for the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Enhanced Reality headsets.īefore we dig into how to get your data into VR, we really want to thank the National Institutes of Health, who sponsored the work under the grant NIHR01EB014955 “Accelerating Community-Driven Medical Innovation with VTK,” our commercial customers, and our collaborators at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF). In an earlier blog post, we talked about using the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and the Vive to explore your data in Virtual Reality (VR). ![]()
