Installation

This section primarly focuses on installing our ChatImproVR engine.

Minimum Requirement

As of now, the engine operates on Windows, Mac, and Linux, but it only operates Windows System for VR.

At the same time, the engine has been tested on two seperate VR headsets: Oculus/Meta Quest and SteamVR.

If you are using a different system, please refer to this page for operating system updates. We will update this page as much as possible when additional support is provided.

While we said that it only works on Windows operating system for the two VR headsets, there is still hardware equipment.

When it comes to hardware requirements, your PC must able to support VR software. For example, the Oculus/Meta headset must need to connect the PC. (Trust us... our primary developers tested this on a weak laptop, and it says that it cannot run that application to connect the headset). Please make sure that the headset supported software is able to run and connect the headset.

Softwares to Download

There are two softwares to download: our engine and the VR connector app.
