Installation and Setup

This page explains how to install VRViewer and prepare your VR environment.

For version-specific changes, consult the release notes.

1. Download VRViewer

1. Visit the official VRViewer website.
2. Review the available version and product information.
3. Download the installer appropriate for your intended use.

Use official LTM Technologies download links. Avoid installers obtained from untrusted third-party websites.

2. Install the Application

2. Run the downloaded installer.

4. If Windows displays a security warning, verify the file's source and digital signature before proceeding.
5. Launch VRViewer after installation completes.

If installation fails, record the exact error message and the installer version.

3. Prepare Your VR Environment

VRViewer's available capture sources may have different requirements.

Before testing a source:

• Confirm that the relevant VR software is installed and functioning.
• If using OpenXR, identify the active OpenXR runtime.
• If using SteamVR, confirm that SteamVR starts successfully.
• Launch the VR application or environment you intend to view.
• Check the Compatibility page for additional information.

A working headset or runtime does not automatically guarantee that every application or rendering path can be captured.

4. Select a Capture Source

1. Open VRViewer.
2. Review the sources available in your installed version.
3. Select the source appropriate for your setup.
4. Follow any source-specific instructions shown by the application.
5. Confirm whether an image is displayed.

If the viewer displays a black screen or the selected source fails to initialize, see Troubleshooting.

5. Updating VRViewer

Check the official website and GitHub Releases for available versions and release notes.

Before updating, review any version-specific installation instructions. Close the application before running an installer if the update requires it.

Use the standard Windows application-uninstallation interface and follow the prompts for VRViewer.

Do not manually delete application data or configuration files unless you understand what they contain and intend to remove them.
